Mencoba toyota ft 86

A 220-mph Land Cruiser, 86 cup car, monster Tacoma, racy Prius, weird Corolla, and "extreme" minivan round out this year’s offerings. When it comes to big automakers like Toyota , SEMA can often be a smorgasbord of weird and wonderful stuff. This year, for example, Toyota is displaying 30 vehicles, some of which honor the past, while others point to the future or just show how crazy the tuners can get. Six “extreme builds” are featured this year, and four are entered into SEMA’s Battle Of The Builders competition. Let’s take a look at each, below. Make sure you click the images to launch individual galleries of each car, and scroll all the way down for videos of the SEMA creations, too.

Sky News has learnt that the digital lender is lining up FT Partners, the US-based fintech-focused investment bank, to advise it on a new equity-raise that would take place after the summer. City sources said this weekend that the process had yet to get underway but that Revolut investors anticipated it valuing the company at between $10bn and $15bn (£10.8bn).
