from Nihoncar.com

The Toyota Blade, luxury version of the Auris, saw a new element added to its lineup yesterday with the long awaited V6 version! Under the bonnet sits a 3.5 liter DOHC VVT-i V6 engine producing 280HP @ 6200rpm and 35.1kg-m @ 4700 rpm, this power being transmitted only to the front wheels (2WD / FF).

Even though many were expecting an All Wheel Drive version to support the extra power, Toyota decided to keep the Front Wheel Drive layout, as a result, many modifications were needed on the suspensions (specially tuned), brakes (16 inches diameter), 17 inches alloy wheels on 225/45R17 tyres and automatic 6 speeds gearbox.

The look of the Blade V6 was also modified with a slightly different front grille, logos here and there; leather steering wheel and shift knob, sporty and luxury interior (leather/alcantara)...

This new addition to the Blade line up is now available in Japan from 2.772.000 to 3.324.000 Yen, more news and detailled infos when we get our hands on it for a full review in the weeks to come!

Sedangkan versi Eropanya (Auris) juga tersedia dalam mesin 2.2 D4 D 2AD-FHV 177 bhp & 400 Nm dgn transmisi manual 6 speed.

Dengan body hanya sedikit lebih besar dari Yaris, diberi mesin dgn Torsi setara mesin 4000 cc normal aspirated, kebayang kalau nyusul gak perlu oper2 gigi, tinggal bejek gas maka Torsi 400 Nm yg terbentang antara 2000 - 2600 RPM akan langsung "menendang" roda depan & menekan penumpang ke Jok.......

WWD = Wrong Wheel Drive = Front Wheel Drive

maaf kalau tekesan ngga terima tapi apakah mobil fwd selalu dibawah RWD dalam tenaga besar seperti 200hp ke atas. ?

terima kasih peace

Wah, 400 nm torque tp fwd, apa tidak torque steer ya ?

mobil kalo akselerasi moncongnya naik ke atas. buat mobil RWD bertenaga besar, hal ini sangat baik karena meningkatkan grip roda belakang yang berfungsi mendorong, tapi tidak buat FWD, karena yang terangkat adalah roda depan, grip pun menghilang dan tenaga besar jadi sia2 gitu...
karena itulah distribusi berat mobil FF lebih condong ke depan guna mengurangi efek ini

Kalo masuk ke Indo, gw yakin akan ada yg nambahin jemuran baju di belakang.

FWD dgn HP gede + rear spoiler = ???

FWD+HPGEDE+REAL SPOILER?
bisa aja, dengan distribusi bobot dan sudut spoiler yang tepat, contoh di CTR
