Fastest SUV - Land Cruiser

Post by pietpetoors »

If you look at the rather boring vehicles Toyota sell to the customers and also the disappointing "Dakar" (added bling) editions they sell, it is very surprising to see that Toyota in fact developed this super Cruiser.

http://newatlas.com/toyota-land-speed-cruiser/46236
...Toyota has made it even more intriguing at the 2016 SEMA Show, adding world record-level performance with two turbos spiking the output of the 5.7-liter V8 to an insane 2,000 hp. Estimated top speed: 220 mph (354 km/h).
To put the new Land Speed Cruiser in perspective, if it were a road car and not a SEMA concept SUV, it'd land at the #7 spot of our "fastest of 2016" list, between the 217-mph (349 km/h) Lamborghini Centenario and 221-mph (356 km/h) Rimac Concept One – not bad for a big, blocky 4x4 that carries eight people in production spec.

Engineers from Toyota's motorsports technical center have flipped the script on the Land Cruiser, making it a low, ultra-powerful street rocket instead of a high-clearance off-road rambler. A literal out-of-body experience, the process involved carefully removing the body shell before heavily modifying virtually everything below, including lowering the ride height, narrowing the tracks and adding an ATI transmission to handle all the power from the Toyota 3UR-FE 5.7-liter V8 with dual Garrett turbochargers. A custom hood gives those volleyball-sized turbos breathing room.

Is waar ettiene, ek het skoon van hom vergeet. Dink daai hilux sal n monster in die duine wees! Ek hou net nogal baie van die styling op die tacoma en 4runners van hulle, meer blokkig, dit voel asof al ons karre deesdae sulke lang maer ligte kry met sagte body lyne....behalwe die cruiser natuurlik
