Toyota claims 'World's Fastest SUV' title
http://money.cnn.com/2017/05/05/auto...suv/index.html
"Toyota has claimed the title of World's Fastest SUV after a Toyota Land Cruiser hit 230 miles an hour on a long runway. But don't try that with the Land Cruiser you might have parked in the driveway.
Toyota (TM) made a few changes to create the vehicle it's cleverly dubbed the Land Speed Cruiser. While the engine started out as the Land Cruiser's usual 381 horsepower 5.7-liter V8, engineers modified it by adding two big turbochargers, among other changes. Ultimately, the engine's output was multiplied more than five times to 2,000 horsepower.
The hulking SUV required other tweaks to prepare it to push through the air at over 200 miles an hour. The suspension was lowered so that the truck hugged the ground, and was also modified to allow for wider tire"
