Pikes Peak R1T Refresh / Facelift Model Spotted!

[bmwlad24]

It's still a quad motor setup (see motor temps in corner)
But, the UI has been refreshed, with different guages etc. Yellow is now power in sport mode on wheel graphics as well as instrument cluster

I’m getting old, I was trying to press the like button…realizing it’s a screenshot ?. The new infotainment looks great.

Where do you find the video?

Where do you find the video?

It was a reel shared yesterday by Gardner Nichols, Rivian's Pike Peak Race driver/Sr performance test engineer. I double checked and the reel has expired so you can't find it anymore unfortunately.

Edit. I suggest following his Instagram as he shares lots of cool videos of the race, and photos in general throughout the year of testing Rivians.

That wrap color scheme is growing on me.

Racer profile indicates the truck is running in-house motors and images of the screens seem to indicate it's a quad-motor too.

Odd they're calling it a 2024 though. I guess we haven't had anyone take a photo of a refresh car's VIN yet however.

I brightened this up to see if I could figure out wtf is going on under the truck, and I still have no idea.

1. Obviously, that’s the CarPlay antenna under the truck.

2. It never gets old. I didn’t come up with it. I wasn’t even early to the game. Nevertheless, I’m gonna make that joke until I die.

I saw their instrument panel dash on board footage, it's a dual with a lot of new features. They since removed the story ??

Tho It was 1230am and I may have not saw everything correctly ?

Why does it look like exhaust is coming out of some pipe in one picture? Or is that just smoke form a smoking hot truck! I love the marketing opportunity of this event! Electric motor should do great on that climb!

He was launching off the line in the video I screengrabbed, so in this instance, he's burning some rubber!

I just realized if we get in-vehicle footage of his attempt that this will probably lead to confirming if the max speed has been increased.
