Three-time Pikes Peak International Hill Climb winner is returning to reclaim a record.

. The package saves around 80 pounds from the curb weight by either removing components or swapping in lighter alternatives.

The car he will use was ordered new by Porsche collector Jim Edwards and will sport a special livery highlighting the quarterly Porsche enthusiast magazine “000.” “Jim volunteered a new car and I volunteered to drive,” Donner said in a statement. “Jim’s ability to see the big picture and how to make things happen, along with a huge dose of optimism, have made this project a lot of fun.”

The 911 Turbo S is powered by a 3.8-liter twin-turbocharged flat-6 mated to an 8-speed dual-clutch automatic transmission and all-wheel-drive system. Peak output is 640 hp and 590 lb-ft of torque, or enough for 0-60 mph acceleration in 2.6 seconds and a top speed of 205 mph.
