Launch of Toyota Levin AE101 Race Car

Here it is! Finally, the launch of the new Kookaburra Racing race car - A Toyota Levin AE101. Come packed with a punch and lots of goodies.

It's no wonder why the Levin was picked. In the recent Sepang 1000km race, the car that topped the charts during the race with the faster lap times is Kegani Autotech - Ultra Racing team's Levin with a lap time of 2:41.483 during the race on semi slick tyres. Being 1.6L in Class 2, Kegani's Levin overtook even Class 1 cars of 1.8L like DC2 etc. The Levin is a class above and well balanced and fast car. It even made headlines in previous years races for its performance.

Kookaburra Racing team members have supported Kegani Autotech in the previous races and events. The obvious choice of picking a Toyota Levin as the next race car and has to be tuned by Kegani Autotech. Kegani owner, Kenny Lee, and his crew quickily got together and built a fantastic Team Kookaburra Racing race prepped Levin, complete with cold drawn seamless carbon steel FIA and JAF (Japan Automobile Federation) approved Cusco Safety 21 rollcage, Tein suspension, XYZ 4-pot Big Brake Kit and Ultra Racing anti-roll bars and other goodies too!
