The Latest on New Toyota Goings On

Another week has come and gone and that means there’s news to be written about! Toyota has hardly stayed quiet as of late and we have a variety of news to share with you that you’re sure to have not heard yet and love. Check out new Toyota news from your reliable source, Toyota of Clermont, right here!

 

What’s Happening, Toyota?

Hybrid MAX?

We’ve gotten an official look, confirmation of an engine name, and even a pic of the panoramic moonroof. But, the new Toyota Tundra is still thoroughly wrapped in mystery. We still don’t know which alternative drivetrains will be offered, how many trim grades there are, the price, and so on. However, we may have just received a clue as to a drivetrain option. The upcoming Clermont Tundra might be going the hybrid route as Toyota recently a trademark for the name “Hybrid Max.” iForce Max was revealed to be the name of the upcoming Tundra’s engine not too long ago and filing a trademark of similar name just seems a little too coincidental.

Like most companies though, Toyota could simply be filing the trademark to ensure that another company doesn’t take a product name too similar to whatever they might use in the future. It’s certainly a great way to secure intellectual property, but does it mean more than that? Unfortunately, this is something we’ll have to wait and see.

The Supra Turns 35!

It’s hard to believe that Clermont new Toyota Supra has turned 35 years old. It seems like yesterday it was coming out from under the wing of the Celica and coming into a model of its own. They grow up so fast (crying actual tears right now). When a milestone like this is crossed, there’s only one way for Toyota to celebrate. A new special edition trim grade! To commemorate the 35th of the iconic Toyota sport coupe, there will be a new special edition releasing in Japan.

The 35th Anniversary Edition will not include any mechanical upgrades, but some pretty neat aesthetic upgrades like:

• 19-inch forged alloy matte black wheels.
• Carbon-fiber interior accent pieces and a “35th Anniversary” designation on the passenger-side dashboard.
• The Clermont new Toyota special edition trim grade will be based on Japan’s SZ-R trim grade which includes red brake calliper cover and matte-black mirror caps.

For additional fun, Toyota has limited this model to just 35 copies. Because demand will likely be high for this exclusive trim grade, a raffle will be organized to determine buyers on September 7th. North America won’t be getting this particular trim grade, but be on the lookout for other special editions in the future!

Parts for the 40 Series Cruiser are Coming Back!

If you happen to be restoring or destroying a 40 Series Clermont Toyota Land Cruiser (built between 1960 and 1984), you’ll be happy to know that parts are back in production. In an effort to help drivers who still use these models keep them going, Toyota Gazoo Racing will be putting several parts back into production. There isn’t a full and concise list just yet, but Toyota has revealed that parts will include engines, drivelines, and exhaust systems, among other things. Parts are expected to go on sale in 2022.
