Toyota Type FT-86 II Concept on GT5-like Video Footage

Toyota Type FT-86 II Concept has published two brand new videos of its FT-86 II concept car that broke cover at this week's 81st Geneva International Motor Show. The first video is a real-life 'walk-around' of the actual concept model while the second clip shows the FT-86 II in some virtual racing action in what appears to be -but is not mentioned-the Gran Turismo 5 game (if we're wrong on this one, let us know in the comments section).

The FT-86 II is the final concept version of Toyota's upcoming rear-wheel drive sports coupe before the production model comes to life next year. For the details on the styling changes over the original study, read our previous article Toyota Type FT-86 II Concept.

TOYOTA PRIUS HYBRID

TOYOTA PRIUS HYBRID
The Prius is a parallel configuration hybrid, a vehicle that can run on just the combustion engine, just the electric motor, or a combination of both. Toyota's design goals are to reduce the amount of pollution and to maximise fuel efficiency. To do this, it uses a gasoline(petrol)/electric hybrid powertrain, incorporating large batteries that are charged by the gas (petrol) engine directly or by regenerative braking. Either the engine or the battery (or both) can power the vehicle, depending on conditions. This gives it the acceleration and power of a standard car having a much larger internal combustion engine. Specifically, the Prius incorporates:

More efficient use of the internal combustion engine (ICE), reducing fuel consumption. The 1NZ-FXE engine uses the more efficient Atkinson cycle instead of the more common Otto cycle;
Two electric motor/generators, MG1 and MG2 are in the transaxle. The MG2 provides 50 kW (67 hp) @ 1,200 to 1,540 rpm and 400 N·m (295 ft·lbf) torque from 0 to 1,200 rpm, which significantly contributes to performance and economy. The MG1, with rpm from -10,000 to +10,000 rpm, provides the engine starter and counter torque for the electronic Continuously Variable Transmission;
50 kW IGBT inverter controlled by a 32-bit microprocessor, which efficiently converts power between the batteries and the motor/generators.
Lower coefficient of drag at 0.26 (0.29 for 2000 model), with a Kammback design reducing air resistance, especially at higher speeds;
Lower rolling-resistance tires on the 2000 model, reducing road friction;
Regenerative braking, a process for recovering kinetic energy when braking or travelling down a slope and storing it as electrical energy in the traction battery for later use while reducing wear and tear on the brake pads;
Sealed 168-cell nickel metal hydride (NiMH) battery providing 201.6 volts; supplied by Panasonic EV Energy Co
Continuously variable transmission — the Prius uses a simple torque combining device, a planetary gearset. Through computer management of the electric motor/generator and secondary motor and the ICE engine throttle the effect is that the drivetraine behaves as though there were a continuously variable transmission. Toyota calls it the Power Split Device[4]. The electric motors and gasoline engine are connected to a planetary gear set which is always engaged, and there is no shifting.
Flexible resin gasoline tank, reducing the amount of hydrocarbon emissions in the form of escaped gasoline vapor; (US model only)
TOYOTA PRIUS HYBRID

NEW TOYOTA LANDCRUISER V8

The new Land Cruiser V8 replaces the current model and is the eighth generation of Toyota’s legendary Land Cruiser large-scale SUV. It remains true to its heritage in being a thoroughbred off-roader. More than that, it is equipped with world-first technologies to ensure safety, comfort and secure handling both in the rough and on the open road. Toyota’s “no compromise” approach is clear in vehicles with traditional body-on-frame construction, crucial to the vehicle’s ability to tackle the toughest terrain. This tried and tested approach is matched by sophisticated handling, suspension and drivetrain systems that extend the off-road capabilities and enhance comfort and stability in normal driving.

New V8 diesel engine
The Land Cruiser V8 is powered by a new 4.5-litre V8 D-4D engine. It is the first Toyota eight cylinder diesel engine and is equipped with common rail injection technology. The unit is the most powerful Toyota diesel yet, producing 282bhp (286 DIN hp) and a prodigious 650Nm of torque, available from just 1,650rpm. Thanks to its high efficiency, the engine has the lowest emissions and fuel consumption in its class, producing 270g/km of carbon dioxide and an official 27.7mpg in combined cycle driving. It is extremely tough, too, engineered to perform faultlessly in temperatures from -30 to +50°C. The V8 is matched to a new six-speed automatic transmission with a manual sequential gear selection mode. As befits a serious offroader, it incorporates low ratio gearing.

World-leading suspension and handling technology
The Land Cruiser V8 is one of the most technically advanced four-wheel drive vehicles ever produced and is equipped with a series of advanced dynamic and handling features. These include the world’s first four-wheel Active Height Control and Adaptive Variable Suspension (4-Wheel AHC & AVS), a fully adjustable system that also provides spring rate control. Not only does this give exceptional performance off-road – wheel articulation is so great, the car can crawl over steps with a 630mm height difference without lifting a wheel off the ground – it regulates pitch and body roll on-road to maintain ride comfort and refinement. The full-time all-wheel drive has a new transfer unit governing the distribution of torque between the front and rear axles, with a newly developed Torsen torque-sensing limited slip centre differential, which gives improved cornering performance and driving stability. The transfer shift system lets the driver move from H4 (high) gearing to L4 (low) gearing by means of a rotary switch on the dashboard, when the vehicle is moving at low speed (up to 3mph).

Rugged and modern design
The vehicle’s design is rugged yet modern, developing styling cues from the Land Cruiser’s distinguished past while embracing themes from Toyota’s contemporary “Vibrant Clarity” design philosophy to bring the Land Cruiser brand fully up-to-date. An equally bold approach is taken inside the cabin where the sense of ruggedness and reliability is combined with comfort, quality and a great sense of spaciousness.

Luxury specification
The Land Cruiser V8 may be engineered to cope with extreme environments, but the cabin is designed to provide premium levels of comfort, convenience and safety. Available in a single luxury specification, it is equipped as standard with four-zone climate control air conditioning, full-map satellite navigation, Bluetooth, rear parking monitor, nine-speaker sound system with six-DVD autochanger and leather upholstery. A premium JBL audio system which includes i-pod integration and ICE (in-car entertainment) pack with rear seat DVD monitors are available as options. The flexible seven-seat interior is easily adapted to accommodate passengers or additional loads, with tumble-and-fold second row seats dividing 40:20:40 and the two rearmost seats folding to the side. High safety standards Occupants are protected by 14 airbags, including front knee airbags and curtain shield airbags along the entire length of the cabin. Active safety provisions include new multi-terrain ABS, which automatically adapts braking performance to suit the surface on which the vehicle is travelling. And to help minimise the consequences of an accident, a pre-crash safety system automatically tensions the driver and passenger front seatbelts when sensors detect a dangerous situation, such as the vehicle spinning or emergency braking.
Launched in the UK on 15 February, the Land Cruiser V8 is priced £55,995

TOYOTA FT-HS Hybrid-Sportz CONCEPT

The world’s first hybrid-powered sports car, the Toyota FT-HS Concept. This front-engine, rear-wheel drive sports car is projected to accelerate from 0-to-60 in the four-second range. That impressive result is achieved through a powerful 3.5-liter V6 engine coupled to a 21st century sports hybrid system. With this hybrid powerplant, Toyota is shooting for a total power output of about 400 hp. Other performance features include a lightweight, carbon fiber Kevlar roof which incorporates an aerodynamic longitudinal depression down its center, and a speed activated wing that elevates during high velocity driving.

The FT-HS’s styling is certain to cause a stir as Toyota refers to it as a combination of “perfect imbalance.” So-called “freeform geometrics” integrate fluid surfaces with hard corners, promoting airflow and reducing turbulence, which Toyota claims increases stability in high speed driving (translation: freeform geometrics is fancy terminology for functioning aerodynamics). “Integrated component architecture” is next in the design philosophy. This entails showing what needs to be seen–tail lamps spanning the width of the vehicle–and hiding what does not, al-la-retractable spoiler. Ultimately, the FT-HS styling goal is to achieve “subtractive mass”, which is a minimalist style that is not only lightweight but also looks lightweight, according to Toyota. The sharply sloped roof is actually a retractable hardtop, though rather than folding up, like metal origami, into the trunk, the roof slides back and then drops behind the front seats. That effectively turns the Hybrid Sports Concept into a two-seater.

The concept’s interior is said to be modeled after a driver’s cockpit , but also offers structural functionality. A carbon fiber beam replaces the space normally occupied by the instrument panel, offering structural rigidity as well as a place to suspend the driver’s controls. This beam adds to body stiffness, necessary when cruising with the open-top roof system stowed in the rear. Long live T-tops.

Toyota - Driving to Save Lives

Toyota uses their top-notched engineering skills in their cars, SUVs, and trucks to surpass the safety standards set by the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety and their products have been over and over again perfectly exceptional throughout the course of testing and evaluation. Toyota revealed more than a few unique technological advances to guarantee the safety of the passengers because Toyota does not only intend to make superior cars but also construct secure and consistent vehicles. Keep these safety parts in check to make your driving fluently smooth.

Brake Pad

This is the anti-friction material lining used in disc brakes, brake pads give support to decrease heat up and enhance the living period of your TOYOTA braking elements. The rubbing of your car's brake pads against the rotor is transformed to stopping power. It depends mainly on the composition of the brake pad and your driving behavior that wear rates may differ. Brake pads should be substituted on a regular basis. Normally, the initial indication of tattered brake pads is a squealing sound. The squealing occurs when the wear indicator on your brake pad touch next to the rotor.

The brake pad is probably the most vital protection of your car. With no effusive functional brake pad, you are inviting a disaster each time you drive.

Oxygen Sensor

Oxygen is a very significant element for your car's internal ignition, you have to check or gauge its level of content to ensure ideal running condition of your car's emission system. The oxygen sensors help out the engine to reach a proficient performance and create fewer and safer emissions.

Oxygen sensors just like the Toyota oxygen sensor are spark plug-shaped deliberately designed to dish up as a central component of the car's emission system and that of the exhaust control system. In the greater view of the subject, an oxygen sensor is an electronic piece of equipment that measures the percentage of oxygen in the gas or liquid that is being analyzed.

Head Lights

Headlights are illumination piece of equipment intentionally designed to provide lighting at some stage of low visibility periods such as night time and rain or smoggy surroundings. Headlights are fixed in front of the car to illuminate the road ahead of and point you with your driving. In addition to this function, headlights also provide as a safety apparatus because it gives out signal to the oncoming vehicles of you being there. Without headlights, driving at low visibility is completely unsafe.

Headlights are normally in pairs particularly in passenger-carrying road vehicles where they are usually placed on each side of the frame. It is very essential that the two headlights are carrying out as it should be to avoid the discernment by an approaching vehicle that what you are driving is car and not a motorcycle and letting him take the protective measures upon passing you by.

Toyota is undoubtedly the best Japanese brand that infiltrated the global car market. Being Japan's biggest car manufacturer and second in the world, Toyota's technological proficiency in making vehicles and advanced engineering is world renowned.

Toyota Recall Models & Years

It has been reported that Toyota issued a safety warning for its 3.8 million Toyota and Lexus cars. It is because of potentially deadly floor mats.

Toyota is finally taking action against the number of complaints for floor mat issues with certain models and announcing a recall of his vehicles.

Seven models that are being recalled could potentially have removable mats and it could interfere with the pedal and can cause it to stick.

This is by far the biggest recall that the auto giant had to make in the U.S. The National Highway Traffic and Safety Administration issued a statement to all owners of Toyota and Lexus models from 2004-2010. They informed that car owners may need to send their vehicle in for recall.

The issue here, which a lot of you might already know is to do with the floor mats on some of the models of Toyota. This problem can cause the accelerator pedal to get stuck in a wide open throttle position and wedge itself against the floor mat. And this is considered by the National Highway Traffic and Safety Administration as a major safety issue.

"A stuck open accelerator pedal may result in very high vehicle speeds and make it difficult to stop the vehicle, which could cause a crash, serious injury or death," said Toyota in its statement.

If you own one of the Toyota models then we would advise you to visit the link Toyota Recall Models & Years and download a list of models affected by this recall and the procedure to be followed.

Best Fuel Efficient Cars for 2010

Over the last few years, the world has witnessed an emergence of numerous car models. It won't be wrong to say that today the level of competition has been increased and the market has got bombarded with different car models. Every new model being introduced in the auto market contains new features. Perhaps, today every car is acting as a luxury sedan and contains magnificent features that make it difficult for buyers to make a proper selection. However, the fuel efficiency has been one key feature that has always played a vital role in making the proper selection of a good car.

Today there are still many people who are looking for more economical and fuel efficient cars. In fact, if we carefully study the current scenario, the average person merely can't manage to pay for a vehicle that consumes to much fuel. Ultimately, the money spent in purchasing a car is more like an investment, and no body likes to make a wrong decision. That fact remains that along with the environment; there is one key factor that drives people to shop for cars that are not just environment friendly, but fuel efficient that in turn affects the budget as well. It doesn't matter whether you are purchasing a car for your daily commuting or excursions, you should have a car that suits your lifestyle and consumes less fuel. If you are planning to buy a fuel efficient car, here are some of the best models you can look for:

Honda Civic- EPA city/highway mileage: 26/34 (manual), 25/36 (automatic), 40/45 (hybrid)

For years, Honda Civic has been one of the most popular compact cars admired in Australia. Without doubt, today its popularity can be attributed to its steady high level of finish and luxury, but its fuel efficiency element cannot be ignored. In fact, when it comes to squeezing every last inch of motion out of a drop of gasoline, there cannot be any comparison. The current model is the best and the most fuel-efficient. If that isn't enough, there is another model of Honda, a hybrid version of the Civic as well as the super-green Civic GX, which can run on natural gas and requires no gasoline at all.

Ford Focus- EPA city/highway mileage: 24/35 (manual), 24/33 (automatic)

In terms of fuel efficiency and performance there cannot be any comparison to the Ford Focus. Designed by Ford's European division, this car model fuel economy trails a bit compared to Japanese compacts, but it's cheap to buy, and pleasing to drive. It is easy on your pocketbook when it comes to keeping the gas tank filled. A 13.5 gallon fuel tank usually allows you to travel almost 325 miles non-stop.

Mercedes-Benz E320 BLUETEC- EPA city/highway mileage: 23/32

There are very few cars in the world that can match the fuel efficiency of Mercedes-Benz E320 BLUETEC in terms of diesel powered cars. This model is the best answer who always thinks - a diesel car always consumes more fuel. In fact, if you get the chance to test-drive a Mercedes E320 BLUETEC then you must go for it. Its key feature of 3-liter V6 power plant offers an impressive power of a V8 with the fuel economy of a compact sedan.

Toyota Camry Hybrid- EPA city/highway mileage: 33/34

Toyota Camry Hybrid is one of the most affordable cars in the current scenario. In fact, it is one of the best models that feature rock-solid dependability, exceptional comfort along with better fuel economy at an economical price. Adding to this, it is one among those models that can offer an altogether conventional driving experience and features a bigger (2.4 litre) engine and conventional tires that makes it a fuel economical car.

Toyota Corolla- EPA city/highway mileage: 26/35 (manual), 27/35 (automatic) Today it won't be wrong to consider Toyota Corolla as one of the country's best-selling vehicles. It is in fact considered as one of the most remarkable economical cars in present context. It features impressive fuel economy with the volume-selling base 1.8-liter engine, and its ride is more compliant than the typical compact sedan's.

Today it is not that difficult to get the best car for your money that can save you fuel as well. All you need is proper research and to compare the fuel efficiency for the best deals on the car you want.

2010 Toyota Aurion: Australia's Version of the Camry Receives Mid-Life Facelift

Toyota's proposition in the large sedan segment in Australia, the Aurion, which is essentially a Camry with a different nose job and rear end, has received a nip and tuck for the 2010 model year. Exterior styling changes for the Japanese firm's front-wheel drive sedan that competes against the Holden Commodore (Pontiac G8) and Ford Falcon include a new front mask, LED stop and tail lamps, and new wheel designs across the range, including ten-spoke alloy wheels on the entry-level AT-X model.

All three versions of the Aurion (Prodigy, Sportivo and Presara) get new grade-specific bumpers, radiator grilles, lower aperture grilles, headlamps and fog-lamp surrounds while Toyota's designers also eliminated the sedan's body-side moldings for a cleaner look.

In the cabin, the new model year Aurions benefit from upgraded instrument panels, audio systems, lighting and in-cabin storage as well as additional standard equipment across the range.

There are no changes under the hood with the new-look Aurion retaining the 3.5-litre Dual VVT-i V6 engine that delivers an output of 200kW / 268HP to the road through a six-speed automatic transmission. The sedan returns an average fuel consumption of 9.9lt/100km that comes to about 23.8mpg US.

Toyota Shows All-New 2010 Land Cruiser, Available in Three and Five Door Bodystyles

Making its world premiere at the Frankfurt Motor Show, the all-new 2010 Toyota Land Cruiser, which also previews the North American market Lexus GX, will go on sale in Europe and other international markets before the end of fall 2009. Building upon the design of its predecessor, the sixth-generation Land Cruiser gets fresh sheetmetal with softer shapes all around and a completely revamped interior featuring a more contemporary design for the dashboard.

Toyota says that the new Land Cruiser, which will be available in most markets in three- and five-door bodystyles, has a more spacious cabin. The five-door model will be offered in a seven-seat version with a third row of two full-size seats that can fold completely flat into the loadspace floor when not in use. The second row seats now have a sliding range of 135mm and a more flexible 40:20:40 configuration, with reclining seatbacks.

Being a proper off-road model, the Land Cruiser sticks with the body-on-frame construction, however, its rigidity has been increased by 11 per cent while insulating frame-to-body mounts have been added to absorb engine, drivetrain and road noise, and to improve ride comfort.

The vehicle's front independent double wishbone and rear four-link lateral rod suspension systems have been revised for extra comfort and better steering feel, while higher grade models are equipped with a new electronic Kinetic Dynamic Suspension System (KDSS), which adjusts the front and rear anti-roll bars for optimised on and off-road performance.

The flagship models also benefit from an electronically controlled rear air suspension system that works with Toyota's Adaptive Variable Suspension (AVS) system with Roll Posture Control allowing the driver tune the ride characteristics with a choice of three damper settings.

A new feature for the sixth-gen Land Cruiser is the Multi-terrain Select, which automatically controls power and braking to optimize performance for different types of off-road surfaces. The system also combines a monitor that shows real time images from around the vehicle from a network of four cameras supposedly providing the driver with more information about the immediate surroundings.

In the European market, the new Land Cruiser will offer buyers a choice of two revised engines, a 4.0-litre V6 Dual VVT-i petrol producing 249 horsepower and a 3.0-liter turbocharged 4-cylinder diesel that makes 173 horsepower. Toyota says that CO2 emissions of both engines have been reduced by 12%, while the diesel model returns a combined fuel consumption of 8.1 lt / 100km (29mpg US) with CO2 emissions of 214g/km.
