TRD has taken on the RAV4

RAV4 can get «charged» version of the rally fans.

Toyota Racing Development — for those who are in the tank, we recall that this is sports division of the Japanese company. In a short time they can prepare «charged» version of the RAV4 crossover, collected on the basis of the rally version of the car, which made its debut last year.

However, technically crossover will be little different from the run-off, judging by the rally version of the RAV4. The engineers equipped it with safety cage and modified the suspension. Of course, the chosen special off-road tires. But under the hood was the former 2.5-liter naturally aspirated engine producing 176 hp and 232 Nm of torque.


However, the decision to release the car is still pending. The head of the American branch of Toyota Bill Fay only hinted that «the magic of sports TRD could reincarnate Toyota the RAV4, and it would be wonderful,» and no more.

Perhaps in the long term TRD prepare turbocharged engine, but further information has yet been received.
