Queensland Highway Police Car - Toyota Aurion aka Camry

There are plenty of hot car out there, but this one really awesome. Toyota Aurion aka Camry in Malaysia is use as Highway Patrol Car in Queensland, Australia. If you read our previous post on this machine, Toyota Racing Developments workshop has bolted a supercharger on to the Aurion’s V6 engine to lift power from 204 kW to 241 kW.

The TRD Aurion was locally developed in Australia and the supercharged engine gives TRD Aurion 0-100km/h acceleration of 6.1 seconds and standing 400m acceleration of 14.2 seconds.

So far in Malaysia, the most powerful police car that I have seen only Satria GTi. What do you think ? Is it necessary for PDRM to have performance car in their line.

Exterior

  • The car features a unique front bumper designed to reduce air resistance. Increasing the size of the “jet-fighter” grille, an element of the MMC sedan design identity, both improves engine cooling and with the chrome treatment of its perimeter enhances the premium look to the car. The bottom edge of the bumper is designed as an air dam for improved handling and vehicle stability at higher speeds.
  • The engine hood uses a lightweight aluminum panel with an air scoop to feed the turbocharger; twin air outlets discharge heat from the engine compartment.
  • The unique rear bumper accommodates twin tail pipes. The bumper’s design enhances airflow control and contributes to better straight-line stability at higher speeds.
  • The factory-fitted option rear decklid wing-spoiler generates effective downforce.
  • The grille and trunk lid carry the Ralliart emblem.
