2022 Toyota Hilux Dakar rally car blasts forth with a new turbo V6 engine
Toyota Gazoo Racing deployed the Hilux All-New in Rally Dakar 2022. Strangely, he has inherited the new Toyota Land Cruiser V6 engine, together with some special modes again. Toyota’s latest Dakar Rally engine debuted in the Saudi Arabian desert starting January 2, 2022.
Even though it has a lighter V6 engine (last year the Hilux GR dakar has a 5.0-liter V8 gas engine installed in the middle), Toyota GR DKR Hilux T1 + (yes, that’s what he called) was a little heavier at 4,409 pounds (2,000 kilograms) In accordance with the latest FIA regulations. And yes, the V6 engine is fixed on the back to provide almost perfect weight distribution.
In addition, Toyota claims V6 will pump more power in the trim of the race, although the actual amount remains unknown at this time. For the sake of comparison, the V6 Land Cruiser 2022 engine is good for 409 horsepower and – more important – 479 pounds of torque from 2,000 rpm.
In other markets, the latest cruiser land is also equipped with diesel twin-turbo v6 produces 304 horsepower and 516 pound of torque, but the gas version can punch it harder at a higher engine speed. We think the Gr Hilux T1 + will have more than 450 horsepower being discarded, giving, or taking.
Other changes include more suspension trips, now increasing to 13.8 inches (350 mm) from the previous model of 11.0 inches (280 mm). It also has a larger 37-inch off-road tire (up from 32-inches) which is now 12.6 inches (320 mm) wide. Of course, the truck was appointed in red, white, and black Toyota Gazoo livery.
Toyota Gazoo Racing continues to develop the latest Dakar Hilux T1 + in preparation for the 2022 rally season Hall, Principal of the Toyota Gazoo Racing.
Toyota Gr entered the four crew team in Dakar Rally which was spearheaded by veteran desert racer Nasser Al-Attiyah and Navigator Mathieu Baumel. 2022 Dakar Rally will follow the clockwise route in the Saudi Desert, starting in the northern city of Ha’il on January 2 and finishing on January 14 in Jeddah.
