A V8 lux would be awesome :twisted: but I think we all know it will never happen, even 10 years in the future unless you mod it yourself :(

The V8 would probably weigh too much considering the Hilux has an already limited GVM.

You woudlnt be able to have a alloy diesel v8, the likely hood the the engine warping would be too high, especially a deisel and it's heat due to compression...

Admittedly they are stripped down every run but the block remains true
