This Toyota Land Speed Cruiser will have Bugatti Veyron for lunch

You're driving your Bugatti Veyron down a highway, minding your own business. Everything seems to be heavenly, with its colossal 8.0 litre quad turbo W16 1000+ horsepower singing its beautiful musical note. Your eyes slowly shifted to your rear view mirror, only to have it filled by a big, towering SUV.

Say hello to the soup-up Toyota Land Speed Cruiser. Recently unveiled at the ongoing SEMA auto show, this has to be the attention grabber. 

The highlight of this SUV is the engine. Lurking under the bonnet is Toyota's 3UR-FE 5.7 litre V8 petrol serving up to 2000 horsepower thanks to the 'volleyball-sized' Garrett turbocharger hanging off each cylinder banks. You heard that right. 2000 horses! That's way higher than what the Veyron offers (the Grand Sport Vitesse, Veyron's most powerful iteration to date, only goes as high as 1200 horsepower). All this comes from smaller package (Toyota's 5.7 litre twin turbo V8 vs Bugatti's 8.0 litre quad turbo W16). 

To achieve this feat from a smaller displacement V8 feed by 2 turbochargers is a brilliant achievement by Toyota.
