Toyota Racing Development (TRD) has released a Sportivo bodykit for the Toyota Auris, complete with other enhancements like a new suspension spring kit, antiroll bar, and 17 inch TRD wheels. There’s also a more sporty TRD exhaust.
No enhancements to the engine though. I’m kind of dreaming of a performance oriented Toyota Auris with the Lexus IS250’s 2.5 liter V6 with 205 horsepower under the hood, if it can be turned into a front wheel drive powertrain.
One more photo after the jump.

somehow or other, i was expecting to c the exhaust pipe to be in the middle…strange me…haih….

I dont think it would be a good thing to attract attention to the exhast pipe on such a small car with no power. Get some extra hp, then start showing off the muscle features

Are we seeing another VW golf coming up?
Looking at the commitment Toyota doing.
This model will be a long way to go….
Market it to be middle to high range.
Unlike Vios model which all along been a budget family car in Toyota family range.
Auris…… keep it up to beat down European Car with your Technology

I agree about the comment about the exhaust pipe how is that a more sporty exhaust pipe ?
If that is sporty what does the original one look like looks damn sad lah.

Hmm.. dynamic and swift, too hard to resist. Is Auris ever coming to Malaysia, any idea?
November 3, 2006 @ 9:23 pm
It looks silly…seriously…

maybe they might put the toyota aurion sportivo’s 3.5 V6 in it. 200kw there on 9.9l/100km or so they claim. or might be too big
auris sits in the same spot the corolla does. not a higher model.
