Bonkers Fatboy V12 Hilux Unleashed

Ciro De Siena

9 Sep 2022

Meet Francois Fritz, the owner of FatBoy Fab Works and the builder of this bonkers twin-turbocharged V12-powered Toyota Hilux! 

This project started with a stock single-cab Toyota Hilux 3.0 D-4D Hi-Rider which Francois used as his daily runabout. 

Then, Francois came up with the idea of building something unique, a once-off build that no one has done before. Fritz sourced a 5.0-litre 1GZ V12 engine from Japan and dropped it into the engine bay of the Hilux, bolted on some turbochargers and tuned it up to over 420 kW and 900 Nm! The result is fabulously bonkers! Watch the video to see this epic V12 Hilux perform!
