Toyota Press Release: TRD AURION ENGINE EXCEEDS EXPECTATIONS The supercharged V6 engine in the upcoming TRD Aurion has exceeded its performance targets, according to TRD chief engineer Stephen Castles.

| The TRD Aurion will be the first production car in the world to use the new Eaton twin-vortices supercharger (TVS) which was packaged locally by Melbourne-based Harrop Engineering.

| The Perth-based Orbital Engine Company assisted TRD with vital testing and component development.
"Our engine calibration partner Orbital was surprised at how well the components stood up after putting it through some rigorous testing. "We see the collaboration with key local suppliers as crucial to maintaining the Toyota DNA of QDR," said Mr Castles. |
