Se on euroopan malli, pitäisi tulla myös suomeen, joskin hinta tulee olemaan suolainen, vähintään 100k€.

The all-new Toyota Land Cruiser V8, king of all roads.

The new Land Cruiser V8, Toyota’s top of the range model, is to make soon its
European market. This eighth generation retains all the world-beating off-road capability
predecessors but adds more refinement, comfort and superior driving quality.

Land Cruiser chief engineer, Sadayoshi Koyari, explains the development theme of this new
generation as follow: “For more than 50 years now three key words have been the basis of
each generation of Land Cruiser: strength, durability and reliability. Therefore, rather than
opting for revolutionary change, we decided to carry on the sense of trust in the Land Cruiser
as the basic concept. With the latest generation we had to recognise the loyalty of Land
Cruiser customers by providing a vehicle that will not betray their trust.”

Built on a completely redesigned platform with a body-on-frame design, the length of the new
model has been increased to 4950mm while the wheelbase has been kept to 2850 mm. The
height varies between 1865mm and 1910mm depending on the suspension featured on the
model, the width of the model is reaching 1970mm.

The new Land Cruiser will be available with a brand new 4.5 D-4D V8 diesel engine,
combined with a new 6 speed automatic transmission, which develops an impressive 650
Nm from 1600 to 2800 rpm and 286 hp at 3600 rpm. This diesel engine has a fuel
consumption of 10,2 L/100km, a 4% improvement versus the outgoing 4.2 TD L6 engine,
based on the European combined cycle.

The model will be also available with an improved 4.7 VVT-i V8 petrol engine, combined with
a 5 speed automatic transmission, which develops 445 Nm at 3400 rpm and 288 hp at 5400
rpm. This petrol engine has a fuel consumption of 14.4 L/100km, a 12% improvement, based
on the European combined cycle. Both engines are fully compliant with Euro IV emissions
regulations.

Advanced new technologies to make new Land Cruiser V8 a genuine, go-anywhere off-road
vehicle include:
• The world first Crawl Control system, available in combination with the petrol engine,
which automatically controls the engine and the brakes to maintain a very low
speed, avoiding spinning and locking. The driver only needs to steer the vehicle
when driving in extreme off-road situations.
• The world first 4-Wheel Active Height Control and Adaptive Variable Suspension
(4W AHC & AVS)*, which links all four wheels’ suspension system for the first time
and also provides a new spring rate control system.
• The European first Kinetic Dynamic Suspension System (KDSS)*, which actively
operates the front and rear stabiliser bars based on a pair of hydraulic control
cylinders.
• A newly developed centre Torsen® Limited Slip Differential (LSD).

* Availability is depending on market conditions.
The new model will feature a wide range of advanced safety features like the newly
developed Multi Terrain Anti-lock Brake System, the Vehicle Stability Control, the Electronic
Brake-force Distribution and 14 Airbags.
The new Land Cruiser V8 will be unveiled in Europe at the St-Petersburg Motor Show
(Russia) on October 24th. Sales of the model are starting today in Japan while the European
sales start will be as of December 2007.
