trd AURION

Toyota Racing Development's first Australian creation, the TRD Aurion, is the result of our constant questioning of the status quo. A car that enhances performance in every way, yet maintains integrity in every aspect. A car that harnesses our motorsport heritage. A car that delivers more power than any other Toyota ever sold in Australia. In short, a car that excites.

Styling

The signature racetrack inspired 'R' featured in the front grille is also subtly integrated in the seat bolsters on both models. This complements the more overt TRD embossed seat backs, dash plaque, scuff plates, and for the 3500SL, a leather bound gear knob. The interior of the 3500S, with its red alcantara and leather accents, creates an extroverted ambience. Whilst the plum leather of the 3500SL gives a more prestigious sports feel. Both grades have alcantara seat inserts that help maintain your driving position even in the tightest of corners, creating the feeling that this car just wants to be driven.

Steering

While the steering wheel takes its cues from its Toyota F1 counterpart, it's been refined to ensure that its grip provides the optimal driver feedback and consequently, the ultimate in driving pleasure.

Optitron Instrument Panel

An Optitron instrument cluster makes for greater clarity by increasing the visual contrast between the meter and the meter readings. It also makes for greater understanding with a multi-information display keeping you up to date with fuel range and consumption, driving time and average speed.

Comfort and Convenience

Just because you're driving a performance vehicle, it doesn't mean you have to give up comfort and convenience. The TRD Aurion features:

^Bluetooth™ will only operate with telephones enabled with compatible Bluetooth™ wireless technology (HFP [Hands Free Profile] version 1.0 and OPP [Object Push Profile] version 1.1 international standards)

Uniquely Australian Design

Think statement, not screaming. Purposeful, not poseur.
Evocative, not extreme. The design aspect of the TRD Aurion
is a dynamic exhibition of form and function created by a
team of passionate performance engineers right here in
Australia.

TRD Body Kit

The racetrack-inspired 'R' from the TRD logo blends subtly into the mesh of the front grille. The body kit, including a twin plane rear spoiler & side skirts answers the question of aerodynamic efficiency with stirring design. The front air dam, for example, isn't simply aesthetically similar to Toyota's F1 design but is functionally similar too, providing impressive downforce and roadholding.

Rear sports bumper with 'Venturi Style' diffusers

Even the exhaust tips, so often an afterthought in performance cars, were looked at critically – did they have to be simply 'bolted on'? To match up to our high aesthetic demands in the same way as the rest of the car does, they've been integrated into the rear bumper.

19" Alloy wheels

Four 19x8" alloy wheels and low profile tyres complete the picture giving the TRD Aurion a muscular yet refined look.

Unique TRD Sports Suspension

A unique sports suspension setup with springs that are lower and stiffer and a specially matched damper configuration puts more control into the body, thereby improving the overall handling performance and agility. Negative camber helps in that department too, giving the car less bodyroll in corners and more precise steering. All of which means agro never overtakes agility.

Driver Assist Technologies (DAT)

For those times when the unexpected can't be avoided, the TRD Aurion boasts an array of Driver Assist Technologies (DAT) that are very reassuring. The sensors, actuators, and computing power of Vehicle Stability Control (VSC), for instance, continually ask questions of the road itself to anticipate and control skidding. Say, for example, you're on a winding alpine road when you hit a section of black-ice. Having sensed a break in traction, the VSC will automatically go to work by controlling the engine output and easing or increasing pressure on the front and rear brakes independently, to help you stay in control. Traction Control (TRC) also minimises wheel slippage to ensure acceleration is all it can be. Housed within a chassis optimised for rigidity and pitch control, it's technology that helps eliminate incidents
before they unfold.

TRD Wheel and Brake Package

High friction performance pads and twin-piston aluminium performance callipers (single at rear) combine to give reassurance and consistent stopping power. The four 19x8" performance alloys improve brake ventilation and preserve impact resilience. Wrapped in 245/35ZR 19 Dunlop SportMaxx Performance tyres, they're the perfect link between the technology of the car and the surface of the road. AB-i (Active Braking with intelligence) comprising of: Electronic Brake-force Distribution (EBD), Anti-skid Braking System (ABS) and Brake Assist (BA) also plays a strong role in keeping you out of trouble.

Passive Safety

In the unlikely event that a collision can't be avoided you can rest a little easier knowing that the TRD Aurion also features driver and front passenger SRS airbags, as well as dual front side SRS and dual front and rear curtain shield airbags. Not forgetting pre-tensioning, force-limiting seat belts and sports
seats which incorporate Whiplash Injury Lessening (WIL) technology.

Dual VVT-i technology

The astounding powerplant of the TRD Aurion gives a perfect example of our race-developed learnings in action. It starts with Dual VVT-i technology that varies the timing to the intake and exhaust valves throughout the rev range. So whether you're at idle, cruising or overtaking, the engine will optimse
fuel consumption and maximise power output to meet your demands.

Eaton™ TVS Supercharger

The TRD Aurion is the world's first production car to be fitted with a four-lobe Eaton™ TVS supercharger. So it delivers strong, lag-free boost response throughout the rev range. Because the supercharger is an air pump driven by the engine's crankshaft it spins independently of throttle position, 'standing by' to deliver instantaneous boost on demand.(The boost offered by a turbo, by comparison, will by its very
nature, exhibit lag and delayed throttle response).

6-speed Automatic Transmission

A six-speed intelligent electronic automatic transmission also helps keep the engine in its most efficient operating range. While a sequential shifting mode lets you control gear changes when you require a sharper response. Finally, a tuned sports muffler offers a revealing and sporty note without being raucous.
