Toyota officially presented its new Etios, a low-cost model (“low cost”) for emerging countries, mainly Asian. But, unlike the Tata Nano (model “low cost” for reference) this is a car more “serious” and more expensive too. It’s really closer to a Dacia Logan car that Tata mini. Its only engine is a 1.5 liter gasoline, which offers 90 hp, which is attached to a 5-speed manual gearbox. It is also hoped that in future can mount a drive yet humble, a 1.2-liter. Its price will be around € 8,000 (exchange) and, except for the questionable design of the seats, as you can see is a very decent car. |

Although the Japanese brand has yet to confirm any data, in recent months come running various rumors concerning the exposition of this model. Contrary to previous rumors that would have a less powerful version of the V10 engine that animates the Lexus LF-A, it seems that the employee will be a V8 engine of 5,000 cc capable of a maximum power of 465CV. The reason for this election is supposed to reduce the final cost of the vehicle. Comparing the hypothetical 456CV the Lexus GS-F with respect to its European rivals, the Japanese model will have less power than the Audi RS6 580CV, 570CV future of the BMW M5 or the Mercedes E63 AMG 525CV.
