Toyota Draglux is a 9-second Drag Race Monster

This Toyota DragLux is a drag race monster that eats supercars for breakfast. Watch the video!

When Raymond Swart pictured his dream Hilux, it didn’t have mud terrain tyres and a lift kit. Nope, he envisioned chasing supercars in his Hilux down the quarter mile.

To do so, the standard 2.5-litre diesel motor wasn’t exactly up to task. And so he approached 2JZ specialists, ICE Motorsport, to install a fully built, big turbo 2JZ under the bonnet.

A couple of manual gearboxes later, they made the switch to a high-strength auto, and the bakkie (pick-up) finally made it into the ‘9s.

Hear Raymond tell his story, we’re almost certain you’ll enjoy his enthusiasm for his vehicle as he tells us how he got to this point.
