    And when it comes to technology by Toyota, the results are more than excellent. The brand delivers us supreme driving experience, based on acceleration, fuel efficiency, stability and comfort.

    The engine itself combines a single-scroll turbocharger with a cylinder head, that uses special exhaust system for further optimized exhaust temperature levels. The system is so well blended together, that brings us wonderful responsive acceleration and maximum torque levels with a wide rpm range.

    Toyota brings us even better combustion speed, created by a tumble flow in the cylinder. This, paired with the new-age D-4T technology delivers the perfect air-fuel mixture. These, as many other improvements reduce the overall thermal efficiency with the tremendous 36 percent. This makes the 8-NR-FTS a leader among the mass-produced gasoline engines.
