Toyota Limited Edition Hilux 3.0 D-4D with 197Hp

The Commercial Vehicle Show at the National Exhibition Centre in Birmingham on 15 April will mark the debut of a range-topping version of the Toyota Hilux for the UK market that’ll be produced in just 500 units.

With the new power kit, the zero to 62mph acceleration time is cut from 13.0 to 10.5 sec.

Toyota HiLux TRD With 300 HP Supercharged 4.0L V6 Engine

Toyota Australia has announced that it will unveil the production version of the supercharged TRD HiLux Concept that we saw last year in Melbourne (click here) at the Brisbane International Motor Show. Queensland manager Sean Hanley said the TRD HiLux had completed all testing and would begin production in the second half of February with sales starting in the second quarter of 2008.
Although Toyota has yet to give out specific performance figures, the Japanese carmaker did reveal that the supercharged 4.0-litre V6’s maximum power will gain more than 25 per cent compared with the standard engine's 235 HP, meaning that output should be close to 300 HP. Along with the supercharged engine, TRD engineers also enhanced the HiLux’s suspension, brakes and styling.

Toyota Aurion TRD 3.5 V6 Supercharged & Hilux TRD 4.0 V6 Supercharged

Toyota Australia is planning to unveil the Aurion TRD along with the Hilux TRD at the Melbourne International Motor Show on 2 March. Starting off with the Aurion TRD, this is the production version of the Aurion Sports Concept shown at the Australian International Motor Show in October 2006. Albeit a bit toned down in comparison with the concept, the Aurion TRD manages to stand out from the standard models thanks to a full bodykit that includes redesigned bumpers and a set of lovely black rims. Under the hood, the Aurion TRD hides a supercharged 3.5-litre V6 that drives the… front wheels. Personally I’d find that a good enough reason to go for a rear wheel-drive Ford Falcon or a Holden Commodore, but hey; that’s just me.
As for the Hilux TRD, now this sounds very, very interesting and I’m not talking about appearance here. See according to Toyota, the top-spec Hilux will be equipped with a supercharged 4.0-litre V6. As with the Aurion TRD, Toyota hasn’t announced any performance figures but I’m pretty certain that this “thing” has enough oomph stored under its hood for a perfect “tango” on a winding gravel mountain road… -Continued: Click “Read More…” below to check out the official press release


PRESS RELEASE: TOYOTA TO REVEAL TRD VEHICLES IN MELBOURNE
Toyota will use the Melbourne International Motor Show to reveal its new locally designed TRD range of prestige performance vehicles. The supercharged 3.5-litre V6 TRD Aurion sports sedan and the supercharged 4.0-litre V6 HiLux sports utility will be launched in Australia in 2007.
Both the TRD HiLux (shown as a concept in Melbourne) and TRD Aurion have extensive performance improvements in engine, brakes and suspension.
