Toyota has set the record for the world's fastest SUV as a modified Land Cruiser hit speeds of 230 miles per hour (370km/h).

The turbocharged vehicle rocketed along a 2.5 mile (4km) California runway to beat the previous record of 211 miles per hour (340km/h).

Dubbed the 'Land Speed Cruiser' by the daredevil team, the SUV underwent a myriad of modifications to get it up to pace.

The custom-built, 2,000-horsepower Cruiser had two turbochargers added to its regular 381hp, 5.7L V8 engine to increase its power output five-fold.

Alongside several other engine modifications, the SUV had wider tires and reduced suspension to boost its top speed.

It took former NASCAR driver Carl Edwards just two attempts to break the SUV land speed record.

Modifications to the car's volleyball-sized turbochargers allowed the racer to add 19 miles per hour (30km/h) to his first attempt.

The record attempt was made at Mojave Air and Space Port in Mojave, California.

In addition to being one of the few places in the US where supersonic flight is allowed, it features a two-and-a-half-mile paved runway.

Mr Edwards said: 'At 225 mph, the thing was wandering a little bit.

All I could think was that Craig said, "No matter what, just keep your foot in it," and we got 230 mph.

'It's safe to say that this is the fastest SUV on the planet.'

You said it all.

Some ppl are not sleeping. Sometimes I wonder why I was born in Nigeria. Japan boasts of Toyota, UK has the Rovers, USA, France, China, India, Brazil, South Africa all have their brands cos they invest so much in human capital development. Here its about brain drain even keke marwa we import...what am I saying...even wheel chair we don't make simply because we aren't ready to train our ppl for it. so sad

Kakamorufu:

Forget that, you think toyota will let a fuel go easily, although higher engine power demands more fuel but I can bet you can't compare a toyota v8 engine with a bmw v8 engine. I love toyota alot

Nice

For which road
