What's in our Car Town garage today? (October 9, 2013)

What's in our Car Town garage today?

1936 Toyota AA

One of the most notable pre-WWII Toyotas ever made, the AA features design inspired from the Chrysler Airflow and it comes with the large 3.3L engine which develops 62hp. Although not quite as powerful by modern standards for such a big engine, revisiting nostalgia for this car is one thing that you are willing to know more about the world of Toyota. Produced from 1936 to 1943, Toyota produces 1400 units of AA during its tenure.

1984 Toyota FJ40 Land Cruiser

Off-road enthusiasts often agree that the FJ40-spec Land Cruiser is one of the best off-roaders ever made due to its rough and tough personality and a big engine that propels this offroader through tarmac, gravel, snow, and other rough surfaces no other modern-day offroaders come close. What interests everyone the most that the FJ40 Land Cruiser lasted through 2001 even though it was sold in Brazil as the Bandeirante. Oh yeah, if you're a Top Gear fanatic, you might be familiar to this Toyota offroader as Richard Hammond's offroader of choice in the Bolivia Special in Christmas 2009. Sadly, this Toyota met its climactic end when it got rolled over through one of the most terrifying slopes in Bolivia.

2011 Lamborghini Gallardo LP570-4 Superleggera

Unveiled in 2010, the Superleggera version is the top of the line version of the Gallardo LP560-4. Although it comes with the same V10 engine as the original but it sees a 10ps increase, making the power output of the 5.2L V10 engine develops 570PS of power. True to its name, the Superleggera lost 70kg of weight, resulting to a 0-60 time of 3.4 seconds and a top speed of 202mph.
