Toyota Land Speed Cruiser Claims World’s Fastest SUV Title

The Land Speed Cruiser made its debut at SEMA, the world’s leading customisation show, in Las Vegas last year. It started life as a standard US-specification Land Cruiser, before being heavily modified by a team of engineers at Toyota’s Motorsports Technical Center (MTC).
Chuck Wade, MTC Manager, said: “The world’s fastest SUV record was at 211mph, which is extremely rapid. Toyota thought ‘why don’t we make a really, ultra-powerful Land Cruiser and just see how fast we can make it go’.”
