A pair of six-wheel-drive models, powered by the new 2.8 GD-6 engine, will take prominence.


Ulterio Motiv will exhibit three modified Toyota Land Cruisers at this year’s Hankook Land Cruiser Festival, which begins today (6 June) and runs until Sunday (8 June).

Held annually, the Land Cruiser Festival attracts not only Toyota Land Cruiser enthusiasts but also companies supplying products, upgrades, and equipment for these vehicles.

The event, which will take place at Sondela Nature Reserve & Spa, will feature over 50 exhibitors, a range of activities, and another attempt to set a Toyota Land Cruiser Africa record.

Three vehicles

On display are three vehicles featuring a converted 6×6 design with a bespoke Ulterio Motiv chassis. These include a Land Cruiser 79 2.8 GD-6 single-cab 6×6, a double-cab 2.8 GD-6 6×6, and the armoured Max 3 made in conjunction with SVI Engineering.
