A few weeks ago [*The Drive* broke news of a Dakar race vehicle which finished a stage with only front tires](<https://www.thedrive.com/article/17606/dakar-rally-team-finishes-stage-with-only-front-tires.md>), with the rears completely blown out. That vehicle, a Toyota Hilux Overdrive OTB, was driven by driver Antanas Juknevičius and co-driver Darius Vaiciulis and went on to finish 12th overall in the 2018 Dakar. The Hilux has recently popped up for sale.

[According to a racecarsdirect listing](<https://racecarsdirect.com/Advert/Details/91425/overdrive-toyota-hilux-t1>), the Toyota Hilux Overdrive OTB is powered by a Lexus ISF 5.0 liter V8 engine managed by a Pectel/Cosworth engine management system putting out 340 horsepower and the engine is mated to a SADEV 6 speed sequential gearbox. The Hilux has Gemini Overdrive/Hallspeed differentials, an AP Racing Sinter metallic clutch, REIGER Suspension with two dampers per wheel, and six Piston calipers with AP Racing Discs.
