Previa Diesel Minivan - Svo Or Biodiesel on 2040-cars
Marietta, Georgia, United States
Toyota Previa DIESEL minivan!
This is a unique vehicle that is only available as an option in countries outside the United States. The vehicle has a Toyota diesel engine and transmission imported from Japan with low mileage and a clear GA title stating diesel. These cars are known to go a half million miles, especially with the diesel options. This vehicle has been nearly fully restored with fresh paint, a near-perfect interior, and lots of preventative maintenance. This car is for the true Toyota diesel enthusiast! This is the perfect car for a family that is eco-conscious and wants to drive on alternative fuels, either biodiesel or Straight Vegetable Oil (SVO). Also, this can be a great small traveling and camping or delivery vehicle that gets great gas mileage.
We just put fresh paint on the car where needed, the wheels, and the bumpers. This car only has a few thousand miles with its current diesel engine, so it is pristine and like new. These vans were ahead of their time with the engine mounted below the driver and passenger seats providing maximum room inside with a truck-like frame yet a very comfortable ride, a very stable and safe vehicle.
Here are the details: - 91 Toyota Previa diesel nearly fully restored - NOT AVAILABLE IN USA - The car itself is a one-owner with 145,000 miles before it was converted to a diesel - The diesel engine/transmission, imported from Japan, has less than 100,000 miles - It will get 25 to 30+ miles per gallon depending on how it is driven - Updated rear differential with better gearing for lower RPM's on Hwy - better mileage and faster($350 update) - Brand new pioneer radio with remote has been installed with CD and 1/4 ” input jack - The interior and exterior are in near perfect condition - 2 new tires rated at 70K, other two in decent shape - Fresh paint job worth $1,500 - $2,000 - Diesel engine-tranny combo with swap kit from Japan valued at $2,600 plus installation - Custom installation valued at $4,000 with many parts replaced including water pump, belts, filters, and more… - Oil change and new air filter and fuel filters - Runs and drives great! - Brand new battery - Some small quarks: driver door needs to be rekeyed. - A $10,000+ value if you had to start from scratch! It is hard to find a Previa in this good of shape!
This is the perfect small eco-friendly delivery vehicle, traveling vehicle, or family vehicle. The engine is strong and starts right up even on very cold days. Great for Biodiesel or SVO! |

Toyota Yaris Hybrid-R is road-going version of brand's racing technology [w/video]
Wed, 11 Sep 2013Did you know that the Yaris is Toyota's best-selling vehicle in Europe? That may help explain to us Americans why the car that's lowest on the company's totem poll here in the US got turned into an all-wheel-drive hybrid track monster for the 2013 Frankfurt Monster Show.
Called the Toyota Yaris Hybrid-R, this three-door pocket rocket isn't just a hybrid making a lot of horsepower - it incorporates technology from Toyota's TS030 Hybrid racecar that competes in the FIA World Endurance Championship series, including the 24 Hours of Le Mans. The Yaris Hybrid-R packs a 300-horsepower, turbocharged, 1.6-liter four-cylinder engine under its hood, which should be enough for most speed freaks, but Toyota pairs it with two 60-hp electric motors at each rear wheel (the same ones used in the production Yaris Hybrid that's sold in Europe). That makes total system output an insane-for-this-size 420 hybrid horsies.
But that's not all, as the Yaris Hybrid-R forgoes the traditional battery pack below the rear seats in favor of a supercapacitor, which can both hold more energy and has a much faster power charge/discharge speed than traditional batteries. Paired with the supercapacitor is a third 60-hp electric motor/generator positioned between the engine and six-speed sequential transmission. Its job is to feed the super capacitor energy during deceleration and direct its power to the rear electric motors when more grip and oomph is needed.
Spongebob Squarepants Toyota Highlander gets Tanked in Vegas
Thu, 07 Nov 2013In 2006, I bought a Scion xB (the super upright, first-generation one), and I always had this wild dream of turning the xBox into an aquarium after it had run its course in my personal test fleet. Long story short, that never happened. But apparently the folks at Toyota got wind of my idea - only, well, this isn't exactly what I had in mind.
Let's just start at the beginning here. This is a 2014 Toyota Highlander - you know, the redesigned one that bowed in New York earlier this year. I haven't driven it yet, but I'm sure it's plenty nice and will appeal to all sorts of families. Families with kids. Kids who like cartoons. Cartoons like Spongebob Squarepants.
Which brings me to our next talking point: the collaboration between Toyota and Nickelodeon for the Spongebob-themed wrap that covers every inch of this Highlander. This isn't the first time we've seen the yellow cartoon sponge on a Highlander - Toyota unveiled a differently wrapped version earlier this year - but this one features more of an aquatic, under-the-sea sort of theme. Perfect, considering the main point of this crossover's reason for being at SEMA.
Ford Fiesta ST in startling track battle against Toyota GT86
Wed, 26 Jun 2013On the surface, there's very little that the Ford Fiesta ST and Toyota GT86 (or the Scion FR-S that is sold in the US, or the largely similar Subaru BRZ) share in common. One is a hatchback with power coming from a turbocharged engine routed to the front wheels. The other is a coupe with power coming from a naturally aspirated four-cylinder boxer engine routed to the rear wheels.
Thing is, both of them are reasonably priced performance cars aimed at a similar segment of the automotive marketplace, so a comparison isn't out of the question. It is with all of this in mind that we direct you to the video below, in which the blokes from Evo pit the two manic little machines against one another on a race track. The result? Well, it can be summed up this way: Fast versus fun.
See how the track battle goes down in the video below.
