Toyota has revealed its plans for the SEMA Show this year, and it seems the one to take away the cake would be the
Toyota Tacoma X-Runner RTR which will borrow the 5.7-L V8 from the relatively-huge Toyota Tundra pickup.
The stock 2011 Toyota Tacoma X-Runner used a 4.0-L V6 pushing out 236 hp, equipped with a six-speed manual transmission. And that takes it from naught to 100 km/h in a bit less than 7 seconds. Comparatively, the RTR or “Ready-to-Race” version’s eight-cylinder 5.7-L V8 is capable of delivering up to 381 hp, so we can be assured of a pretty good acceleration figure.
