Toyota will be launching a new version of the Toyota Aurion sedan sold in Australia that will become the one of the most powerful FWD production cars on sale. The supercharged V6 Toyota Aurion sedan will also be the first official vehicle from Toyota branded under the TRD label. The Toyota Aurion TRD comes in two different flavors, a more basic 3500S and the better equipped more sporty 3500SL flagship. Both models send up to 323 horsepower and 295lb-ft. of torque through the front wheels. The Aurion, which is basically be a Camry with new front and rear bumpers is powered by a 2GR-FE 3.5L V6. The new performance models rise the power beyond the standard output thanks to an Eaton TVS supercharger developed by TRD and motorsports company Harrop Engineering. The new engine develops over 221lb-ft. of torque from as low as 1,250rpm and maintains this torque until redline. The 0-100km/h acceleration takes 6.1 seconds and the standing quarter in 14.2 seconds. The Toyota Aurion TRD is only offered with a six-speed auto and comes with larger brakes than the standard model. Twin-piston calipers and vented 325mm discs at the front, and 310mm ventilated rear discs with single piston calipers fill the 19in alloys.
