Toyota 2UZ-FE 4.7L

I have this engine. It’s superb engine.

 

Several Toyota powerplants could probably vie for the contest of "best Toyota engine ever". Certainly the 2JZ / 3.0L in-line six has to be one of them.

 

I work for toyata. 1UR is already gone. 3UR will be gone by 2021. Twin turbo V6.

 

Still in the Lexus line up.

 

I cant wait for the twin turbo V8 to make it's way to the streets. I drive a GS460. Love making V6 stangs and challengers owners wish they had sprung for the V8 option. All smiles.

 

People don’t realize how awesome a V8 is until they are gone.

 

Has to be the UZ line of V8s.

 

How do you define best? Most advanced, most efficient, most inexpensive, most powerful? Toyota had so many great engines over the years, from the humble 22R and L diesel workhorses, to the silky smooth UZ V8s, to the very advanced 2GR/1UR/2UR, to the ***** to the wall 2JZ-GTE, all the way to the orgasmic LFA's V10. And while not of any interest to me, they pioneered hybrids and continue to have class leading hybrid models.

 

V8s are dwindling but they will thrive in vehicles most of us cant afford.

 

Forgive my ignorance. What are they putting a twin turbo V8 in?

 

The long rumored LC F.

 

Just looked it up.

Nice

 

Until you see how expensive it is going to be which means really low sales, whatever it goes in will have a ridiculous premium tacked on.

 

I would vote for the 3-UZ because it's way more performance oriented.

The 2-UZ-powered LC and LXs are underpowered and slow.
