Sorry if it's a repost. I did a search here and found no info on this. I've coincidentally came across this when looking at other cars.

TRD TUNDRA STREET CONCEPT

An immediate hit with the gathered media at the LA AUTO SHOW press days seemed to be this 'TRD Tundra Street Concept'. Equipped with a TRD supercharger package featuring an Eaton Roots-type supercharger with an integrated air-to-liquid intercooler. Air flow is further enhanced with a TRD cold air intake, all mated in the rear with a stainless dual rear exhaust. TRD is 'Toyota Racing Development, the small 'skunk-works' type R&D shop just a few minutes from Toyota's North American headquarters in Torrance, CA. (Be sure to click on all photos to enlarge).

Based on the all-new 2007 Tundra being built in Texas, Toyota says their Street Concept includes a host of features specially-developed by TRD (meaning: Tundra owners can buy all these parts), providing significant styling and handling revisions and a more power, supercharged engine (our horsepower guess: about 480hp) designed to peak any performance enthusiast's interest.

Suspension-wise, the lower ride height is immediately noticeable. "Slammed" is the word, and the stock Tundra seems to have been designed for this modification. A new TRD Tundra-specific braking system has been developed and added to the truck with larger calipers and 16-inch drilled rotors for enhanced performance. A set of 285/45 tires ride on TRD 22x9-inch forged aluminum wheels.

Outside, check out the revised front grille and lower fascia with restyled rear valance and bumper. The tow hitch has been concealed and there's a power 'InfiniVu' tonneau cover with integrated spoiler. Toyota says that it is all topped off by a "High Impact Red" paint treatment. Inside, the seats are covered by custom fabric with leather console and door trim.

Some of the aftermarket companies which participated in this project are: ACSCO, Burbank, CA - AEM, Hawthorne, CA - Alcoa Wheels, Farmington Hills, MI - American Specialty Cars, Huntington Beach, CA - Magnuson Products, Ventura, CA - McGard, Buffalo, NY - StopTech, Torrance, CA - Progress Technology, Anaheim, CA - Cequent, Tekonsha, MI - Viam, Santa Fe Springs, CA.

And of course, some pics to drool over...








I think this is the best looking Toyota pickup since the Tacoma X-Runner

I doubt they'd make it in a double cab, seein it as a performance vehicle.

Hawt Hawt Hawt!!! I dont know about it being an SRT-10 killer though. 505 NA HP is going to beat 480 HP forced induction any day...... oh yeah and the rims are super sexy

[LanceM]

The dual exhaust molded into the rear bumber looks cool, i'm also liking those rims

[mhadden]

If anyone is interested in trying to make their reg (or other others) cabs look like this, TRD does offer a "big brake kit" for the Tundra...the brakes are already huge, but putting those Brembo calipers and cross-drilled rotors will make it stop even faster!

Does anybody have the HP and TQ numbers on that setup?

Thats my trucks younger, more hyper brother
