Toyota Limited Edition Hilux 3.0 D-4D with 197Hp

The Commercial Vehicle Show at the National Exhibition Centre in Birmingham on 15 April will mark the debut of a range-topping version of the Toyota Hilux for the UK market that’ll be produced in just 500 units. It is equipped with the 3.0-litre D-4D engine that already features in the Hilux Invincible, but thanks to a Toyota Motorsport diesel-engine performance kit, maximum output is increased from 171 Hp to 197 Hp and maximum torque from 343Nm to 430Nm. With the new power kit, the zero to 62mph acceleration time is cut from 13.0 to 10.5 sec.

The special edition Hilux 3.0D-4D also features new 15-inch alloy wheels and stainless steel mesh grille while the cabin is finished in a special two-tone grey leather, with heated front seats. Sales will begin in the UK this summer. –More pics after the jump
