Toyota Aurion Sports Concept & Aurion Sportivo SX6 / ZR6

The Australian International Motor Show proves once again that Aussies seem to be getting all the fun. And even though the Aurion Sports is just a Concept based on the Australian version of the Camry, they still get the chance to choose among two sporty version of the Aurion, dubbed Sportivo SX6 & ZR6 (they differ on the extra equipment). The latter are equipped with the same 272 Hp 3.5 V6 engine of the basic versions (0-100km/h in 7,4 sec & 228km/h top speed). Besides the full bodykit, the Sportivo SX6 & ZR6 get 17" alloys and a sport orientated suspension.




As for the Aurion Sports Concept, according to Toyotas it's purely an exterior styling exercise. But, in the press release they also add, "However, from a performance perspective a sports sedan based on the Aurion could be expected to be powered by a supercharged or turbocharged version of an advanced Toyota engine". Now that's something I'd love to see: a front wheel-drive, turbocharged Toyota with 350+ Hp! Via: Jalopnik
