Renders of uncovered 200 Series

Yes the BMW Headlights.

New to the Land Cruiser range will be the addition of Toyota’s 5.7L V8 engine sourced from the Tundra pickup, which will also feature in the upcoming Lexus LX 570 SUV. The VVT-I equipped V8 will come with a six-speed automatic and is likely to develop close to 350hp.

There could possibly be a smaller 4.5L V8 turbodiesel engine producing 203hp and 317lb-ft. of torque, with 90% of twist starting from just 1,200rpm.

No Doubt the Fellow's over at Nissan must be looking at one another wondering what to do especially after the total disaster of the 3 Liter Diesel that even to this day keeps blowing up.

bull bars are going to be expensive

Looks quite nice but I don't like the sound of the airbag suspension one bit.

Hope the V8 diesel is a firebreather. It will need to be for the US market.

Guess I'll wait and see.

Well I'll be
Its looks a little like my 2002 GU patrol without the wheel on the back , hope it has its the power, suspension and stability

The power and torque figures that have been quoted for the 4.5l V8 are lower than what the twin turbo diesel V8 is rumoured to produce. The 5.7l V8 would be great but would be surprised is we get it here. More likely is a 4.7/5.0l V8 in Oz. Also the Prado 4.0l V6 rumoured for Oz.

Just to go over another rumour, hydraulic and not airbag suspension is likely for the upspec models (Sahara?).

Love the look of the 200. Very nice.

May be wrong, but can't see the spare tyre underneath! Does that mean they just left it off, or is it going to be stored in a compartment under the rear cargo area floor, which in no time ARB and TJM will have mods to remove and replace with a water tank and stick the spare plus another one on a rear carrier!!!???
