In the rear, trapezoidal LED lamps help enhance the athletic look.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Amid much global debate and speculation, the LC300 also introduces two all-new engine options. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>A 3.5-litre twin-turbo Petrol V6 and 3.3-litre turbodiesel V6 are on offer. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Both engines feature the latest technology and promise excellent performance, NVH-levels and exemplary refinement.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The Petrol V6 is borrowed from the Lexus LS500 (an engine praised for its velvety smoothness and strong, linear power delivery). It delivers a substantial 305 kW of power and 650Nm of tractive effort; while the new oil-burner is poised to deliver even greater levels of performance and efficiency. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Outputs are quoted as 227kW and a whopping 700Nm \u2013 representing a 32kW increase and 50Nm hike (versus the outgoing 4.5 turbodiesel V8).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div contenteditable=\"false\" data-embed24=\"Images\" data-pos=\"middle\" id=\"embed_102357fb\">\n<div class=\"slide\"><img decoding=\"async\" alt=\"\" data-smallsrc=\"https:\/\/cdn.24.co.za\/files\/Cms\/General\/d\/11269\/2eb7aa59ebd8468292970b05d508dc0d.jpg\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn.24.co.za\/files\/Cms\/General\/d\/11269\/f54af3238ee342869e7a5e43e3620d88.jpg\" title=\"Rear, trapezoidal LED lamps help enhance the athletic look.

Detailed specification, pricing and model line-up will be issued at launch timing. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u2013 ISSUED TOYOTA SOUTH AFRICA MOTORS<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>THE
