In celebration of the 60th anniversary of Toyota’s Land Crusier line, there will be two special edition models fashioned after the Land Cruiser V8 and its average five-door model as announced by the Japanese car company’s European arm. The two special edition Land Cruisers would be rolling into the showrooms with a smashing set of 18-inch alloy wheels, genuine leather seats, upgraded audio system, and a badge to represent the line’s 60th anniversary celebration.
In terms of under the hood performance, the standard D-4D 3.0-liter diesel engine has been given a horsepower raise for up to 188bhp. That’s an additional 11 hp from the standard one. Also, it now has additional 10 Nm of torque and now functions with 420 Nm and still it retains its original figures in terms of fuel-efficiency. To make the power plant pass the stricy Euro 5 regulations, a diesel particulate filter can be added.
The price for the 60th Anniversary Land Cruiser Edition starts at £49,950 with its V8 counterpart carrying a £61,950 price tag. Both special edition models are out in the European market today.
Oh and let’s not forget that the three-door Land Cruiser is also available on the market once more and comes with manual gearbox and a LC3 level. Standard specs like Vehicle Stability Control, climate control, Bluetooth, fog lamps, a set of 17-inch alloy wheels and a 6-speaker audio are include in the model with a price tag of £30,395. We still don’t know if the 3-door Land Cruiser is part of Toyota’s celebration but one thing’s for sure, a lot of LC fans have waited long for it.
