Unlike most recent roadshows whereby people turn up for test drives and a closer look, engage in games and activities and go home feeling hunky-dory, the Toyota WOW Road Tour stays true to its namesake by throwing in that bit more for prospective visitors. How different? How about a taxi ride in a rear-wheel driven Toyota 86? Piloted by a professional stunt driver, no less.
Aside from taxi rides in the Toyota 86, visitors can also look forward to exciting rides in the Vios TRD Sportivo and Hilux – the latter to take place on courses designed to showcase the pick-up’s strong points. Speaking of the latter, you wouldn’t think a Hilux would be able to drift, right?
Well, come over to the first Toyota WOW Road Tour happening this weekend (May 30 and 31) at Car Park B, Bukit Jalil National Stadium at 12pm, 2pm, 4pm or 6pm to see Driven’s own Harvinder Singh prove you wrong. Very wrong. Watch the video below for a quick teaser :)
