Diesel runs 8 second quarter mile

Producing in excess of 750kW the twin turbo 6.6 litre LBZ Duramax V8 cleared the finish line at a terminal speed of 266.45 km/h.

The Gale Banks boys also hold the FIA World Record for the fastest diesel pick-up ever with a run at the famous Bonneville Salt Flats last year recording an impressive 349.86 km/h down the flying mile.

I wonder how many Hilux and Rodeo owners will jump on the phones to the States now.
