Al-Futtaim Motors, exclusive distributor of Toyota in the UAE, has launched Toyota Racing Development (TRD) for the first time in the region.

Launched at Yas Marina Circuit, TRD packs render each car instantly recognizable as unique examples, with sharper designs that also lend the cars better performance, such as improved straight line and cornering stability thanks to better downforce and aerodynamics.

Offered in aerodynamic and sport packs, TRD will be available on the iconic Toyota 86, the all-new Yaris Hatchback, Yaris Sedan, Corolla and Aurion.

While the aerodynamic pack offers aesthetic enhancements such as front and rear bumper spoilers and side skirts, giving TRD cars a unique, aggressive look, the sport pack goes a step further, adding performance wheels with low profile tyres, as well as other additions such as a sport oil filter and lowered springs, amongst other modifications offering more assured handling during spirited driving.

Alan Carpenter, general manager of Sales and Marketing at Al-Futtaim Motors, said: “Toyota’s Waku-Doki promise – Japanese for “adrenaline rush” – lives on with the introduction of TRD to the UAE. Merging both passion and technology, TRD brings to Toyota cars the true spirit of decades of racing performance, and gives customers a new dimension to customizing both the look and performance of their Toyota cars.

“TRD isn’t just about attractive design, but each pack is built with aesthetics as well as performance in mind, making the TRD vehicles as unique as their owners.”

TRD packs will be available at Al-Futtaim Motors Toyota showrooms across the UAE from November 1, in special TRD displays.

All TRD parts come with a five-year warranty and built to GCC specifications to ensure quality and reliability for the life of the car. While elements of each pack can be purchased separately, the complete aerodynamic and sport packs will be available at promotional prices, a statement said. – TradeArabia News Service
