That is actually a touch slow for the XR, might be a manual. |

Hulk please note the official toyota times -
With at least 100kg less to cart around, however, the front-wheel drive Toyota's claimed performance figures are just as quick as those recorded by Ford's premium Falcons. An official 0-100km/h acceleration time of 6.09 seconds (1.3 seconds better than the base Aurion AT-X, which claims 7.4 seconds) and a standing 400-metre sprint time of 14.2 seconds puts the TRD Aurion in the same performance ballpark as the rear-drive XR6T, XR8 and even FPV’s GT - and hot on the heels of Holden’s 6.0-litre V8-powered SS models. Toyota engineers say the TRD Aurion laps the Phillip Island circuit about 12 seconds quicker than the regular Aurion, in 1:59. Cheers Vincenzo

2012 TOYOTA AURION SPORTIVO ZR6 – ON THE ROAD Flatten the throttle off the mark and the front wheels will scramble for traction for most of first gear. Even if you require a sudden burst of acceleration from around 40km/h, the punchy V6 will overcome the front 215-wide tyres. There’s no doubt the Aurion goes ‘hard’ and is an energetic piece of machinery. The throttle isn’t touchy, but it is sensitive enough to exercise the engine’s eagerness at a small push. It’s quiet under normal loads, very quiet in fact, offering an almost Lexus-like cabin environment. It’s only when the engine is really revving that you hear an angry yet refined high-pitched hum. As a sports sedan, the 2012 Toyota Aurion Sportivo ZR6 performs well. It’s the quickest in its class. We timed 0-100km/h in just 6.6 seconds, putting ahead of both the Aussie naturally aspirated rivals mentioned above – 7.2 for the Ford and 6.9 for the Holden. (Our test averaged from 6.56, 6.75, and 6.69 seconds. Previous-gen ZR6 could manage 7.0 seconds.) As a result, the Sportivo ZR6 tips the scales at 1555kg compared with the previous ZR6 weight of 1630kg. This gives it a power-to-weight ratio of 7.78kg per kilowatt, bettering the Ford Falcon XR6 (8.68kg/kW) and the Holden Commodore SV6 (8.23kg/kW). how many of these v8s get close?? http://www.autospeed.com/cms/article.html?&A=2370 Last edited by HULK_I6T; 21-08-2015 at 03:32 PM. |

Hulk you've got your Aurion, what point are you trying to prove? Because your sounding like a person who is regretting their purchase and is trying extra hard to justify it to himself and everyone else.

Hulk, your anti - Falcon auriontation has been noted. You are arguing on the wrong forum about the benefits of your sewing machine on wheels. My old Fairlane may take 23 seconds to reach slightly faster speeds than a spastic orang-utan can swing through the trees at, but I will never, ever swap it for a car that has the personality of that old man Penny Wong...

He won't stop until this thread is locked. He knows it is trolling at it's finest and is laughing at all these comments reacting to it. Let the silly willy believe what he wants and ignore it.

Time for another bit of non-humor...
Marty wakes up at home with a huge hangover. He forces himself to open his eyes, and the first thing he sees is a couple of aspirins and a glass of water on the side table. He sits down and sees his clothing in front of him, all clean and pressed. Marty looks around The room as sees that it is in perfect order, spotless, clean. So is the rest of the house. He takes the aspirins and notices a note on the table "Honey,breakfast is on the stove, I left early to go shopping. Love You!" So he goes to the kitchen and sure enough there is a hot breakfast and the morning newspaper. His son is also at the table, Eating. Marty asks," Son, what happened last night?" His son says, "Well, you came home after 3 AM, drunk and delirious. Broke some furniture, puked in the hallway, and gave Yourself a black eye when you stumbled into the door." Confused, Marty asks, "So, why is everything in order and so clean, and breakfast is on the table waiting for me?" His son replies, "Oh, that! Mom dragged you to the bedroom, and when she tried to take your pants off, you said, "Lady, leave me alone, I'm married!"

Hulk - by your own hand you are now saying it takes a supercharged 3.5litre V6 to get a 0 -100 time of 6.6 seconds. Toyota's own official time for the naturally aspirated 3.5Litre is 7.2 seconds for 0 -100kph. You have shot yourself in the foot. This time, don't ignore the facts. Cheers Vincenzo
