Toyota GR Dakar Hilux v Land Cruiser GR Sport: DRAG RACE

How’s THIS for a drag race line-up!
We’ve teamed up with Red Bull & Toyota, and they’ve brought their Dakar Rally Hilux to go up against Mat in a Toyota Land Cruiser GR Sport!
So let’s see how these two epic contenders stack up. Starting with the Land Cruiser, it’s powered by a 3.5-litre twin-turbo V6 that can put down 415hp and 650Nm of torque. Power’s delivered to all four wheels by a 10-speed automatic gearbox, and it’s pretty heavy, tipping the scales at 2,630kg!
And then we have the Dakar Hilux. It’s also equipped with a 3.5-litre twin-turbo V6, but the power output has been limited to 361hp and 650Nm. However, it’s much lighter than the Land Cruiser, weighing in at 2,000kg.
So how’s this one going to play out? Will the Hilux walk it when they go head-to-head on the tarmac? And more importantly, will it snatch the win when it's on sand?! There’s only one way to find out… LET’S RACE!
Red Bull F1 Car v Tuned Lambo v Tuned GT-R: bit.ly/Red-Bul...

Thanks to / primeproductionsamg for helping to set up this drag!

Everyone’s crazy about the two vehicles, but I want to stress that the drone kept up so good with those, I’m actually surprised on how quick it was. More drone shots like this, please!

[@purwantiallan5089]

These shots are always awesome.

[@gersongaete1574]

Drones can accelerate much faster and go above 100kmh, they also have zoom cameras so no matter if they are far back, they will still get a nice shot from behind

[@SwainixFPV]

A 5inch custom fpv drone with a gopro instead of a fancier camera can go 0 to 150kph (idk like 80mph) in less than 2s.

[@henryafricadawoh9799]

Fun fact. The drone is actually faster than those 2 cars

[@SwainixFPV]

@@henryafricadawoh9799 accelerating yes, top speed is unlikely, usually it's between 90 and 130kph for drag reasons

[@Charmer4856]

Listen to the sounds of that gearbox when it shifts!!

[@roochiecooch]

@@banananjam87 still a beautiful piece of engineering. Someone still had to design and build it. Besides the Toyota Engine is still mostly factory and even had its power lowered. But the pairing of that soundtrack and the wonderful engineering of that race vehicle; space frame and all. Personally I don’t care it doesn’t have original Toyota road car parts, as those are designed for the general consumers, not the punishment of desert racing at autobahn speeds in some sections.

[@banananjam87]

@@roochiecooch did not say is not a beautiful thing. They really outdone themselves. Hilux is best pickup in my opinion. For ever. I just watched old Top Gear serie where they "tested" it and was the best survivor. So no doubt a cool car. Was just saying that here is not much of a original Hilux left. That is all. Still a nice piece :)
