Toyota Jimco 2000 buggy
An off-road buggy powered by a modified Toyota V6 engine is capable of speeds up to 255km/h and Formula One-type horsepower.

The Jimco 2000 buggy, which competes in the Pro class of the Australian Off-Road Championship, is fitted with a modified twin-turbo Toyota engine that generates 600kW at the flywheel.

The Jimco 2000 is piloted by successful Australian off-road driver, David Fellows.

The major goal for 2008 is to win the Finke desert classic.

It was forced to retire from the 2007 event while in the lead due to an over-heating problem caused by an intercooler that was too small, a problem which has been now be rectified.

The Toyota 2GR-FE VVT-i 3.5-litre V6 engine chosen by the buggy’s owner, Peter Kittle, also powers Toyota Aurion, Tarago, new Kluger and RAV4 V6.

The Jimco 2000 is fitted with a pair of Turbonetic turbochargers that are each rated to 450 horsepower.
