Toyota RV8 engine

Automotive Engines

The Toyota RV8 engine family is a series of race car engines designed, developed and produced by Toyota Racing Development. They come in 2.65, 3.0 and 3.4 litre sizes, turbocharged and naturally aspirated, as V8 racing engines, and they were used in the CART series, the IRL IndyCar Series, Formula Nippon, Super GT and Le Mans Prototype sports car racing from 1996 to 2015. The naturally aspirated engine, formerly used in Formula Nippon and Super GT, is itself derived from the Toyota Indy V8 Indy car engine. The TS030 Hybrid uses a naturally aspirated gasoline 3.4 litre V8 mounted at a 90-degree bank angle, producing 530 horsepower, which Toyota engineers based on their Super GT project instead of building a new engine.
