Toyota Presents Cart-Like Aurion TRD with 1.2-liter Engine for Aussie Racing Series
Enlarge the picture above and you'll see that this particular Toyota Aurion TRD doesn't look quite normal. And truly enough, the Aurion TRD is one of the go-kart like cars that will run at the Aussie Racing Cars Series in next weekend's Nikon Indy 300 race. All Aussie Racing Cars have a moulded body and share a space-frame chassis and a 122HP Yamaha engine. They compete nationally at V8 Supercar events, as well as the Indy 300 and the Australian Grand Prix. -Continued Though the competition sees cars wearing various body shells representing brands like Holden or Ford, Toyota is the first manufacturer to directly support entries in Aussie Racing Cars.
"We're really pleased to join such a competitive, popular and entertaining series," said Toyota Australia motorsport manager Todd Connolly. "Toyota sees it as an ideal grass-roots category for young drivers to learn and make their way up the ladder in motor sport," he added.
