South African people like to run Bakkis, which is better. This love affair may soon be more intense with the imminent arrival of Toyota Tundra in the drive of the right hand.
Toyota Tundra is an American truck-style Bakki manufactured for the North American market built in two assembly plants in Indiaa and Texas. While it is specifically built in the left-arm drive (LHD), the Australian-Firm Autogrup International (AGI) imports them and then turns them into a right-hand drive.
Durban-based ROSPA International has now entered a partnership agreement with AGI, which may soon make Toyota Tundra its way to Mzansi through the bottom.
Toyota Tundra makes a pitstop
On this week’s episode Civic motoring‘S pit stop Podcast, we discuss the capacity of Bakki in South Africa.
Toyota Tundra is introduced as a hybrid in the US. A 3.5-liter twin-turbo V6 petrol engine adds to an electric motor and battery pack to distribute a demonic 325kw power and 790Nm torque. These numbers, with its massive large dimensions, are right that is why the local Bakki fans will yearn to make Toyota Tundra standing in their driveways.
ROSPA International has a concrete reputation to classic and import Sports cars, mainly from JapanThese include Nissan GT -RS, Honda NSX, Toyota AE 86S and Mazda RX -7S. Its partnership with AGI will also see its portfolio expanded in a series of American cars. These include the choice of Dodge Challenger, Hamar EV and Camero.
