Dacia may not have a reputation as a sporting marque, however, all that may be about to change with its new 850bhp Duster.

Designed to take on the Pikes Peak hillclimb in Colorado, the car has an 850bhp V6 taken from the Nissan GT-R which feeds power to a six-speed manual gearbox.

The Pikes Peak hillclimb is a mixture of gravel and asphalt which climbs nearly 5,000ft over its 12 mile length. The Duster will be climbing it on June 26th.
