The count down is getting close. I'm loving what I hear so far. We are either good guessers or they browse this forum.
"The SkyActiv-X is a 2.0-liter gasoline engine employs a common rail-style system from a diesel engine, a supercharger and a mild hybrid system (24V System) to create an engine that produces 178hp, generates beefy bottom-end torque, like a diesel, but spins freely to 6500 revs, like a gasoline engine."
Also from a separate article: "Toyota has used a Subaru boxer engine in its GT86 coupe, and more recently, employed a BMW 6-cylinder powerplant for its reborn Supra sports car, the same engine fitted to the new Z4. And in return, Toyota has allowed its THS II hybrid system to be incorporated into models including the Mazda3 hybrid."
So it looks like Toyota has really taken over when it comes to hybrid transaxles. Good to hear... At least there will be reliability.
