Toyota showed a hybrid with V8 in a video about the new RAV4

The Drive portal noticed that on the official website of the brand, when describing the operation of the promising system of Ths, an unusual power unit appears. The name of the roller is trivial: “The Sixth generation hybrid system is 2.5 liters”, which hints at the filling of the debuted Toyota Rav4. However, for illustrations for a few seconds, a 3D model of chassis with an eight-cylinder unit is used!

There are no signs that Toyota Rav4 will receive V8: eight -cylinder engines even refused large Land Cruiser SUVs and Tundra pickups. However, rumors about the debut of the Lexus sports car with the V8 engine have been circulated for a long time, and the LFA successor supposedly should lead the GR line until the end of 2025. Sources believe that the “Biturbovosmiere” will work as part of a hybrid system with a total capacity of 900 horsepower.

Perhaps Toyota decided to hint at the imminent implementation of the hybrid with the V8, and the journalists discovered the “Easter”. Perhaps the chassis with an eight -cylinder engine was visualized to attract attention, because in the description the standard formulation: the video is prepared to explain the functions, there may be differences from a real car in the video, and the name of the systems may differ depending on the region, model and segment.

If the V8 engine really goes to the series, it is unlikely that Toyota and Lexus will use it in a single car. A connected hybrid with a flagship unit can appear on the full -size Century and Crown sedans, as well as the next generation Lexus LS. However, such a project has not yet been officially confirmed.
