Toyota’s racing arm, Toyota Racing Development, showed off five new high-powered concepts at SEMA this year. These concepts are based on some of the most popular Toyota models, including the Avalon, Corolla, Camry, Land Cruiser and Highlander.
While all five models differ in power and interior features, they all sport the same shade of silver exterior paint and custom TRD branding inside. The Avalon TRD is based on the 2015 Avalon XLE Touring model. It features a dropped suspension, new struts, 19-inch wheels and a free-flowing dual exhaust with quad tips.
The new Camry TRD also gets a dropped suspension and new struts, as well as 21-inch wheels, new brakes pads and an updated exhaust system. The Corolla model is similarly equipped to its Camry cousin, though it gets a six-speed manual instead of its regular CVT and 19-inch wheels.
Toyota’s truck and SUV offerings got the most extensive revisions, including 20-inch wheels, a fully revised interior and a dropped suspension on the Highlander, while the Land Cruiser saw its height jacked up by two inches, so a new underbody skid plate could be added. It also received a snorkel air intake, tubular running bars, LED lights and remote-reservoir coilover shocks.
Toyota is looking to see what drivers think of these new TRD models, meaning that you could be seeing a TRD version of your favorite Toyota car at Toyota of Dallas sometime in the near future.
