The Japanese set out to set a land speed record among SUVs and has reached her breaking up its flagship Toyota Land Cruiser 200 to unbelievable 370 km/h Bar max speed, which is needed to exceed the offset from the pedestal predecessor, established in 354 km/h And you can imagine the bitterness and disappointment of the creators of the record-breaking "Kruzak" when the Committee of Guinness world records will not count TLC victory.
We will remind, the winner in the nomination "the fastest SUV" at the moment is the Mercedes-Benz GLK V12 with Brabus from the office – it broke up at the time, up to 340 km/h.
The trouble is that the GLK is still a production car, albeit from a tuning company. But the record-breaking Land Cruiser built exclusively in a single copy and exclusively to achieve the "maximum speed".
According to representatives of the company, the engine 3UR-FE 5.7 l volume were collected again, setting him on two huge turbine from Garret, forcing air under pressure is 3.8 bar. Such pressure was the reason for the installation of reinforced pistons and conrods, also had to make a custom intake manifold. All improvements allowed to remove almost 2000 HP it would be Interesting to see how much this monster consumes fuel.
In order to "digest" such torque and power, in a Land Cruiser mounted with a specially prepared transmission from Performance Products.
Its suspension reworked, lowering the car, and that excess air does not get under the body, lower bumper have added a huge spoiler. The salon threw away all the excess, leaving only the sports driver's seat. The body was strengthened by a safety cage. In addition, for the sake of reducing the weight of the Land Cruiser took elements of all-wheel drive, leaving the rear-wheel drive.
We will remind, the record of Toyota Land Cruiser 200 was presented last fall. And only now we are all pleased with the video from the races that were held on the runway of the Mojave aerospace center in California.
