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.

INTERIOR

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 Convienence

mean you have to give up comfort and convenience. The TRD
Aurion features:

- 6 disc in-dash CD Changer with MP3/WMA compatibility
- 8 way power adjustable driver's seat. Plus 6 way power
adjustable passenger seat in 3500SL

EXTERIOR

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 Bodykit


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 bumpers 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.

SAFETY
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)


Dual stage SRS front airbags, which measure the intensity of the collision and deploy accordingly, are fitted for both front seat occupants. Seat-mounted side airbags help reduce the likelihood of injury to front seat occupants during side collisions. Side curtain shield airbags help reduce the chance of injury to the head of front and rear seat outer occupants in a side impact. For added restraint, 3-point Emergency Locking Retractor (ELR) seatbelts have pretensioners which retract the seatbelt at moment of impact, and force limiters which help reduce the risk of chest injury.

 

TRD Wheel and Brake Package


Wherever you travel you've the reassurance of Toyota Link# communication technology handily positioned in an overhead console. It lets you contact the Toyota Link call centre for roadside assistance or emergency support. If an airbag is deployed, Toyota Link can send for help when you can't. These are just some of the support services right at your fingertips.

 

Passive Safety


Even reversing and parking are easier in the Presara. Select reverse and the exterior mirrors dip automatically allowing you to see the kerb. At the same time, a rear reversing camera displays a colour picture of what's immediately behind your rear bumper on the Satellite Navigation screen**. Leaving nothing to chance, sonar sensors in the front and rear bumpers sound alarms as you approach objects making it easier to manoeuvre into and out of tight parking spaces.

 
 

MECHANICAL

Power and Fuel Economy


A supercharged 3.5L V6 engine delivering 241kW of power and
400Nm of torque. All while maintaining an average fuel
consumption of 10.9L/100km^

^Fuel consumption will vary depending on driving conditions /
style, vehicle conditions and options / accessories. Source of
fuel consumption data: ADR81/01 combined cycle.


 
 

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 Eatonâ„¢ 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.
