The gloves are off at Toyota. After a couple of false starts, Toyota now has a laser-lock on the cash cows of Chrysler, GM, and Ford: full-size trucks. And it's gone right to the heartland of truck culture to get it right this time, building a brand-new factory in San Antonio, Texas, to manufacture a truck codenamed 400N, the bigger, bolder, tougher replacement for the Tundra that's due to go on sale next year as a 2007 model.

As these scoop pictures show, the new Tundra will be at least as big, if not slightly bigger, than Ram, F-150, and GM's forthcoming GMT 900 trucks. Under the disguise is sheetmetal that takes cues from the aggressive FTX concept first seen at the 2004 Detroit show. This version is the crew cab; expect extended and regular cab versions as well, with a number of bed lengths and wheelbases. (Photos at the bottom of the page show an extended cab version with a bedcap installed as additional disguise.)



Such FTX innovations as tow hooks integrated into the bumpers and hideaway bed tie-downs are likely to make it to production, according to insiders who say the new truck is full of such features. The FTX concept also showed a V-8/hybrid drivetrain, which is expected for production, and Toyota is working on a high-torque turbodiesel to enable the Tundra to go wheel to wheel with Detroit's heavy-duty models.



The San Antonio plant's capacity is 150,000 vehicles a year--hardly enough to steal segment leadership away from Ford, which last year sold almost 940,000 F-Series trucks. But although America's appetite for big trucks shows no sign of slowing, a more competitive Toyota product is almost certainly going to squeeze profit margins in what's traditionally been Detroit's most lucrative vehicle segment.

" SRT and Mopar Showcase Viper Possibilities at NAIAS
Tuesday January 9, 12:01 am ET

Custom Viper displays tweaks from Mopar Performance Parts ? and 675 horsepower!

Farmington Hills, Mich., January 9 /EXCLUSIVE from viperclub.org/ -- Much speculation has been made since the first details were released on the 2008 Dodge Viper scheduled to appear this week at the North American International Auto Show in Detroit. Of course today is the day you were supposed to be reading about it, however some magazine editions hit the newsstands ? and websites ? a little earlier. Viper buyers, already giddy over the addition of a whopping 90 horsepower (yes, 600 total ponies under that revised hood) still had one nagging worry in the back of their minds: What about this long-rumored ?Blue Devil? from the ?other? American super car camp?

They needn?t have worried. In a surprise addition to this weeks show, DaimlerChrysler?s Mopar and SRT (Street & Racing Technology) Division have added a third Viper in concept form, joining the Venom Red SRT10 Roadster and Viper Red SRT10 Coupe with white racing stripes. Reminiscent of the SRT10 Carbon shown at SEMA in 2003, this latest Coupe variation showcases the many possibilities of this potent platform.

?We at SRT, along with our counterparts at Mopar Performance, wanted to build something for NAIAS that would show what can be done with the new '08 Viper,? said Steve Sharples, Viper Brand Manager at SRT. ?This includes many of the new Mopar Performance parts which will be available for the car when it starts shipping to showrooms later this year.?

The Mopar Performance Parts featured are:

- Tubular Exhaust Header Package
- High-flowing, Cat-Back Exhaust System
- Low-restriction, functional Cold Air Intake System
- Fully adjustable Coilover Suspension Kit
- "Sidewinder" Lightweight Wheels (with anodized finish)

And don?t forget the ?Racing? in SRT, as they added these race-inspired parts as well:

- Titanium Valves and Connecting Rods
- Cast Litex Pistons and Lightened Crankshaft
- High Flow Intake Manifold with Polished Upper
- Carbon Fiber Coil Covers and Crinkle Black Valve Covers
- Adapted Dodge Viper Competition Coupe Rear Wing and Front Splitter
- Michelin Racing Slicks, 18" in front and 19" in back
- 6 point racing restraints
- Viper "Driver's Stripe" paint scheme

The results? Well besides one of the most stunning Vipers ever to greet the public, it also satisfies the Viper faithful. With a few Mopar Performance parts and some additional internal engine tweaks the car makes an incredible 675 horsepower, with the torque climbing even more ? from the impressive stock 2008 number of 560 ft lbs to a mind-boggling 650 ft lbs. You would be hard-pressed to find another exotic from any continent making those kind of numbers.

Will these modifications ever make it to a production car? SRT will not comment on future product. But if what is shown here can be done by visiting your local Mopar parts counter, we already like what we see. "

i think it's highly possible they make this if GM makes the LS7 vett
