以假亂真 – Toyota GR DKR Hilux EVO T1U
今年東京改裝車展（Tokyo Auto Salon 2025）帶來意外驚喜，在TOYOTA GAZOO Racing展位搶到一款Toyota GR DKR Hilux EVO T1U回力車。
Toyota GR DKR Hilux EVO T1U由Toyota旗下TOYOTA GAZOO Racing（TGR）團隊於2024年打造，專攻達卡拉力賽與世界拉力錦標賽（W2RC）。賽車以Hilux為基礎，搭載3.5公升雙渦輪增壓V6引擎，輸出約358匹馬力與620牛頓米扭力，配備Sadev六速序列式變速箱與全時四驅系統。車身加寬100毫米，外觀採用複合材料雙門設計，懸吊行程升級至350毫米。TGR派出五組車手駕駛此車，陣容包括Giniel de Villiers、Lucas Moraes與Guy Botterill等名將。最終五車順利完賽，三組殺入前十：Guy Botterill奪第六（最佳新人）、Giniel de Villiers第七、Lucas Moraes第九。
在TAS 2025的GAZOO Racing展位，外圍擺滿精品，兩台回力車卻藏在收銀台對面的小角落，稍不留神就錯過。原本以為這台GR DKR Hilux EVO T1U回力車份量十足，沒想到拿到手輕盈得很，反差感十足。消光黑塗裝搭配前後膠燈細節到位，車身拉花、輪圈與尾斗鐵片一應俱全，乍看還以為是模型車。
Blur of Reality – Toyota GR DKR Hilux EVO T1U
One of the unexpected gems from this year’s Tokyo Auto Salon (TAS) 2025 was snagging a Toyota GR DKR Hilux EVO T1U pullback car at the TOYOTA GAZOO Racing (TGR) booth.
The Toyota GR DKR Hilux EVO T1U is a 2024 masterpiece from TGR, built for the brutal Dakar Rally and World Rally-Raid Championship (W2RC). Based on the rugged Hilux, it packs a 3.5-liter twin-turbo V6 engine pumping out around 358 horsepower and 620 Nm of torque. Paired with a Sadev six-speed sequential gearbox and full-time four-wheel drive, it’s a beast tailored for extreme off-road battles. The body stretches 100 mm wider, sporting a composite twin-door design, while the suspension boasts a beefy 350 mm travel. In the 2024 Dakar Rally, TGR fielded five crews with stars like Giniel de Villiers, Lucas Moraes, and Guy Botterill. All five cars crossed the finish line, with three cracking the top ten: Botterill took sixth (and best rookie honors), de Villiers seventh, and Moraes ninth—a solid haul that boosted Toyota’s rally cred.
At TAS 2025, the TGR booth was a boutique overload, but two pullback cars sat tucked opposite the cashier in a tiny, easy-to-miss spot. I expected the GR DKR Hilux EVO T1U to feel hefty, but it’s surprisingly light—talk about a twist! The matte black finish, detailed front and rear lights, plus slick decals, wheels, and a tailgate panel, make it look so polished you’d mistake it for a diecast model at first glance.
