2012 Dakar.

Toyota are entering a couple of bob-tailed four door Hilux's with a 4.6 V8. Luvley.

Looks sprightly enough ......

Thats a Baja racer though isn't it? A different animal.

Wonder if Santa will bring one if I put it on my Christmas list?

[Karma Supra]

Someone posted this on my forum... I thought I'd share

[Eddleston]

I'd love a 4.6 V8 like that in my Surf. It'll be a reasonably high revving one too I reckon so that'll make the noise so damn cool!

[BUSHWHACKER]

For anyone who's interested......
The Hilux's are doing well, one of them is currently 2nd overall.
