Tajima retired from the race, one mile (1.6 km) short of the finishing line suffering from mechanical failures, team-mate Yutaka Awazuhara took the fourth overall in a Grand Vitara. Tajima would finish as runner up in the All Japan Dirt Trial Championship that year with the same car and won the Race to the Sky hillclimb in 2003, before it was rebuilt as a Grand Vitara, then in 2007 as an XL7, breaking the overall course record at Pikes Peak.

Are you sure it's 1587kg? That number in pounds seems more realistic considering it looks smaller than the Escudo which is 800kg (1763lbs).
 
Imagining a battle between this and the Esucdo...:D
