    TOYOTA GAZOO Racing Outlines 2019 Motorsports Activities(E

    February7, 2019 Toyota Motor Corporation GAZOO Racing Company TOYOTA GAZOO Racing Outlines 2019 Motorsports Activities TOYOTA GAZOO Racing is a racing company positioning motorsports activities as the basis of our quest to create ever-better cars. From products developed through these activities to the establishment of the GR Garage, TOYOTA GAZOO Racing’s motorsports activities have been promoted as a comprehensive method of increasing numbers of car fans. At last month’s North American International Auto Show in Detroit, we unveiled the new “Supra,” which is set to become the first global model in the GR series line-up. The new Supra incorporates the knowledge and know-how that TOYOTA GAZOO Racing has accumulated thus far, and has been developed with the goal of enabling customers to fully experience the joy of driving. We have positioned the new Supra as our flagship model and, by feeding back knowledge gained through motorsports activities into the development of new products, we intend to further expand the GR series line-up. In 2018, TOYOTA GAZOO Racing achieved the long-desired goal of winning the 24 Hours of Le Mans and also secured the WRC manufacturers’ title, demonstrating that the challenges we have embarked on are leading to concrete results. However, we will not rest on our laurels. In order to deliver the anticipation and excitement of driving to a wider audience, we will engage in the motorsports activities listed below in 2019. TOYOTA GAZOO Racing will compete in the 2019-2020 WEC season. (The driver line-up will be announced at a later date.)With team line-ups, we will also compete in the Nürburgring 24 Hours Endurance Race and other races in Japan respectively.
  • The Lexus Range Experience Amazing

    The Lexus Range Experience Amazing

    THE LEXUS RANGE EXPERIENCE AMAZING Since the launch of the LS 400 sedan in 1989, Lexus has become a synonym for exceptional quality and incredibly refined luxury cars. Determined to offer more than this, recently we’ve launched a new generation of vehicles: cars that stand out from the crowd and defy convention. Models like the exciting new UX compact crossover and the provocative yet elegant ES executive sedan. Based on a uniquely Japanese aesthetic of harmony without compromise, Lexus design is now more distinctive and single-minded than ever. However, head turning looks would be nothing without incredible performance. Inspired by the iconic Lexus LFA supercar that was launched in 2010, our ‘Master Drivers’, have worked tirelessly to identify and articulate the unique flavour of driving excitement. With this hard won knowledge we’ve now enhanced the precise and elegant nature of every Lexus with a sizeable dose of adrenaline: creating an exhilarating new driving experience that starts when you approach a car like the LC luxury coupé, and continues as long as you drive and cherish it. Unsurprisingly, technology plays a huge role in our work. We see innovation as a never-ending process, and are committed to anticipating future needs and desires. This approach has led to major automotive breakthroughs like the world’s first Self-Charging Hybrid in 2004 – the RX 400h – and now Multi Stage Hybrid that powers the LS 500h and LC 500h. Despite our intense focus on the future, we’re immensely proud of the world-class build quality of our cars, which is overseen by our ‘Takumi’ artisans.

    Master Driver Morizo, Seorang Presiden Toyota Sekaligus Pembalap Mobil

    Master Driver Morizo, Seorang Presiden Toyota Sekaligus Pembalap Mobil Komitmen Toyota yang dengan filosofi making ever-better cars bukanlah gimmick marketing semata. Dalam filosofi ini terdapat keinginan tulus dari Toyota untuk selalu menghadirkan sarana mobilitas yang lebih baik dari waktu ke waktu seiring perkembangan tren, teknologi, lifestyle, dan kebutuhan konsumen yang terus bergerak secara dinamis. Ada 2 metode yang dipakai oleh Toyota dalam menguji dan mengembangkan sebuah kendaraan baru. Yang pertama tentunya dengan memperoleh langsung input dari konsumen melalui semangat Genchi Genbutsu atau “mengumpulkan fakta langsung dari sumbernya”. Di Indonesia, metode ini berhasil diterapkan saat pengembangan Kijang sejak generasi pertama di tahun 1977 hingga sekarang tetap menjadi mobil pilihan keluarga Indonesia dari generasi ke generasi. Kijang tidak akan mencapai posisi seperti sekarang jika sejak awal tidak mengamati dan memenuhi kebutuhan sebagaian besar keluarga Indonesia. Di mana daya angkut luas merupakan rujukan utama supaya dapat memenuhi kebutuhan pergi sekeluarga saat berlibur ataupun mudik. Di sini Kijang berhasil menyajikannya dengan cara yang pas dan tetap menjaga fungsionalitas sebagai MPV. Kebutuhan lain seperti irit bensin namun tetap bertenaga ditambah keandalan dan ketangguhan di berbagai situasi dan kondisi dibuktikan secara nyata seiring waktu. Metode kedua adalah melalui arena balap di mana mobil balap Toyota ditekan hingga limit tertinggi dalam kondisi penuh tantangan ekstrem untuk melihat seberapa tangguh komponen mobil yang digunakan. Database berupa informasi teknis dan pengalaman engineer Toyota yang terlibat dimasukkan ke dalam langkah pengembangan untuk menciptakan mobil yang lebih baik di masa depan. Keseriusan di dunia balap sejak dulu dibuktikan dengan partisipasi Toyota di ajang Mobilgas Round Australia Rally tahun 1957. Kedua pendekatan di atas didukung sepenuhnya oleh Akio Toyoda, Presiden Toyota Motor Corporation (TMC).
