JAKARTA - Toyota Hilux Rangga has been introduced in several markets as the newest commercial vehicle from Toyota. This pickup is designed for various needs both in terms of business and daily life.

Because it has flexibility in various needs, the pickup can apparently be designed as a racing car for speeding on the track. This was proven when Hilux Rangga was included in the Thailand Super Pickup event by Toyota Gazoo Racing Team Thailand.

Launching from Paultan, Tuesday, November 5, the car, called Hilux Champ, in the country market, this white elephant, is seen speeding up at the Buriram circuit, Thailand and is included in the Class A category. This car is pitted on a track with several competitors such as Isuzu D-Max, Mitsubishi Triton, and Ford Ranger.

Of course, this car gets a number of improvements such as adding aerodynamic devices to optimize its performance on track.

The pickup is equipped with a flare feder combined, in order to hide the increase in the width of the rim and fatter Hankook tires. Then, there is a small front splitter and the back wing that reduces the lift style.

In addition, Toyota Gazoo Racing Team Thailand also added a front grip by opening the front bumper so that more airflow enters the engine and intercooler.

Talking about its performance, this racing pickup car uses diesel engines in accordance with the regulations that have been set. This means that Hilux Champ has a 2GD-FTV 2-cylinder 4-cylinder turbodiesel with 2.4 liters of enhanced power.

Unfortunately, the team did not mention the exact figure, but the production car had a power of up to 150 ps and a torque of up to 400 Nm.

Despite having some good things, the car was less than good this year. During three rounds with two races each, the team has not scored a single point and now Hilux Champ is lagging behind some of his rivals in the competition.
