\"AWD<\/a><\/p>\n

Ryan Tuerck<\/a> and his “GT411” Celica attended the New England Hillclimb Association’s Mt. Ascutney hillclimb at Mount Ascutney State Park<\/a> in Windsor, Vermont. This event marks the first time Ryan has competed in a hillclimb or on asphalt in the car. The 1994 Celica GT is no longer powered by a 2.2 L 5S-FE inline-four and FWD drivetrain. Instead Ryan and his team swapped in a turbocharged 1.6 L G16E<\/a> inline-three capable of 500 hp (367 kW) on low boost and 650 hp (478 kW) on high boost. The AWD drivetrain uses a Holinger sequential transmission and Wavetrac differentials. After several runs Ryan broke a 23-year-old record on the last attempt. The first video shows only the record run. The second video shows the entire event and behind the scenes work.<\/p>\n
