Rhys Millen has just released a teaser video of his stunning drive up a
mountain road in Brazil. More specifically, Miller has taken his 750 horsepower
Hyundai Genesis Coupe in Red-Bull livery to the Serra do Rio do Rastro mountain
range. Located in southeastern Brazil and coated in some delectable tarmac, it's
yet another photogenic location for the Genesis Coupe to practice burnt rubber
calligraphy.
This of course isn't his first hill climb. On July 2009,
Millen set a new rear wheel drive record to take Pikes Peak's time attack title.
On December 31, 2008, he became the
first person to back-flip an off-road truck in the air. He landed off-balance,
forcing his vehicle to flip on its side a few times after landing, but then
walked away unharmed.
In 2009, Hyundai teamed up with Millen to race the
Hyundai Genesis Coupe at the Formula Drift Professional Drifting Championship,
the Pikes Peak International Hill Climb and select Redline Time Attack Series
events in 2009.
Besides all that, Millen is also a
stunt driver for films such as The Dukes of Hazzard, Mr. & Mrs. Smith, and The
Fast and the Furious: Tokyo Drift. He also did the driving for the first Hyundai
Genesis Coupe commercial.
The full version of the video is expected in a
few days.
