@patina.research This is the Toyota Land Speed Cruiser, the fastest SUV in the world, which broke the speed record at 230 mph. Isn’t it interesting that the fastest SUV also happens to be one of the best-looking ones I’ve ever seen? Very tastefully modified yet still looks OEM, even though underneath it’s completely rebuilt. It runs a heavily modified 3UR-FE V8 with two snails the size of basketballs producing over 2000 hp. The record-breaking run was achieved by former NASCAR driver Carl Edwards at the Mojave Air and Space Port.

    AND WE GOT 230 MILES PER HOUR SO AN AWESOME DAY

Transcript

The world's fastest SUV right now is at 211 miles an hour. That's extremely fast. Toyota thought, why don't we make a really ultra powerful Rank Cruiser? Let's just see how fast we can make worse. No. Better I'm telling you, it's 225 miles per hour. The thing was wandering a little bit and trying to keep my foot in it. All I good think is, Craig Stanton who who got it all all warmed up today. He just said no matter what, just keep your foot in it, and we got 230 miles per hour. So an awesome day.
