Toyota Gazoo Racing entered multiple Hilux GR DKR Evo machines, and Car No. 225, entrusted to Henk Lategan and Brett Cummings, was among the most closely watched entries. IXO Models documents that campaign with this \u003cspan class=\"vr-scale\"\u003e1:43\u003c\/span\u003e scale model in die-cast metal.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2 id=\"hilux-gr-dkr-evo-t1plus\"\u003eA Purpose-Built Rally Raid Machine\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDespite carrying the Hilux nameplate, the GR DKR Evo is a bespoke rally raid vehicle developed by Toyota Gazoo Racing in partnership with Overdrive Racing. Power comes from a 3.5-litre twin-turbocharged V6 petrol engine built to the T1+ class specification. The 2022 specification introduced updated suspension geometry and revised bodywork over the debut version fielded in 2021, reflecting the rapid development pace that characterised the inaugural T1+ season.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2 id=\"lategan-cummings-2022-dakar\"\u003eLategan's Strongest Dakar Result\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSouth African pairing Henk Lategan and Brett Cummings have been part of the Toyota Gazoo Racing Dakar programme since 2020. The 2022 edition was Lategan's third Dakar campaign and his best to that point, running at the front of a competitive factory field throughout the Saudi stages.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2 id=\"ixo-models-143-die-cast\"\u003eIXO Models and the RAM Dakar Series in \u003cspan class=\"vr-scale\"\u003e1:43\u003c\/span\u003e\n\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis model is produced by IXO Models as part of its RAM (Rally and Dakar Miniatures) range, a series that systematically covers the major Dakar entries by class and year. The construction is die-cast metal, and the livery replicates the factory Toyota Gazoo Racing scheme: white bodywork carrying prominent red and black GR branding, exactly as Car No. 225 appeared on the Saudi stages in January 2022. The RAM series is the reference line for rally raid collectors working in \u003cspan class=\"vr-scale\"\u003e1:43\u003c\/span\u003e.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2 id=\"display-cabinet\"\u003ePlacing No. 225 in the Cabinet\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eCar No. 225 pairs naturally with other IXO RAM releases from the 2022 factory Toyota Gazoo Racing T1+ line-up. For collectors focused on the Dakar's regulatory history, this model represents the first season of the T1+ category — a landmark moment in rally raid. The white, red and black GR livery also reads cleanly alongside earlier Hilux Dakar entries, making year-on-year progression visible across a shelf.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"IXO MODELS","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":57506712256896,"sku":"RAM987B.22","price":50.9,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0922\/8828\/7104\/files\/vroomi-ram987b22-front34-v2_8595f8d6-9559-4ff2-a1d7-65cfa7101c14.jpg?v=1792762553","url":"https:\/\/vroomimodels.com\/de\/products\/toyota-hilux-gr-dkr-evo-t1-team-gazoo-ra-ram987b22","provider":"Vroomi","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
