LandCruiser 300 GR Sport – Toyota has announced the details for the LandCruiser 300 series GR Sport. Pricing is from $156,060 plus the usual costs, when it goes on sale in Australia in the middle of the year.
Powered by the i-FORCE MAX twin-turbo V6 performance hybrid powertrain. This provides a maximum combined output of 341kW of power and 790Nm of torque.
The new performance hybrid delivers 114kW more power and 90Nm more torque than the LandCruiser 300 series 3.3-litre V6 turbo-diesel, making it the most powerful LandCruiser ever.
To put this in perspective that’s slightly more than the Tundra Pickup Truck.
Toyota’s performance hybrid system is a parallel hybrid system that combines a V6 petrol engine with a single electric motor-generator, placed between the engine and ten-speed automatic transmission.
With two power sources that can operate in tandem or individually, the performance hybrid system is able to deliver powerful, responsive and linear acceleration, high-speed cruising, and the strong torque needed under heavy load or when towing.
Other features for the GR Sport include:
- Electric power steering
- an upgraded 200V/1500W rear auxiliary power socket
- a 40/20/40-split rear seat back
- Fully lockable front and rear differentials
- and electronically-controlled E-KDSS suspension
I wonder if Toyota could fit this hybrid engine to the HiLux GR Sport. Now that would be something to see and put an end to Ranger Rator dominance in that segment.
