Our mission through our products and our service is to bring smiles to the lives of every single customer; our stand is simply an extension of this.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>In the \u201cwaku-doki\u201d or fun-to-drive zone, models such as the 86, Aygo, FJ Cruiser and RAV4 will be featured.<\/p>\n<p>An exhibit that will come under the spotlight in the hybrid leadership zone is the ground-breaking TS030 HYBRID driven by Anthony Davidson, S\u00e9bastien Buemi and St\u00e9phane Sarrazin which finished second at this year\u2019s gruelling 24-hour Le Mans race. Together with the Toyota Imperial Racing Hilux and South Africa\u2019s newest rally championship challenger, the Castrol Team Toyota Racing Yaris which can be viewed in the fun-to-drive zone, these three models will reinforce Toyota\u2019s glorious motorsport heritage.<\/p>\n<p>The public will also have the opportunity to put selected models through their paces on both the 4\u00d74 track as well as Toyota\u2019s very own \u201cUrban Trax\u201d. The latter is a go-anywhere, set-up anywhere, versatile 4\u00d74 demonstration and instruction track, which allows the Toyota Advanced Driving team the opportunity to display the various capabilities and functions of the Toyota range of off road vehicles, through seven man-made obstacles that mimic a rough outdoor environment, but can be experienced in an urban environment. These include the demonstration of extreme ascents, descents, cross axle articulation, side slopes, traction control, downhill assist control, crawl control, ridge crossing as well as differential lock functionality.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.myjhb.co.za\/cgi-bin\/\/search.cgi?keywords=Cars\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-6284\" alt=\"Toyota Le Mans Hybrid\" src=\"http:\/\/www.myza.co.za\/press\/wp-content\/plugins\/rss-poster\/cache\/e80b0_Le_Mans_Hybrid.jpg\" width=\"700\" height=\"372\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-caption-text\">Toyota Le Mans Hybrid<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"zemanta-pixie-img\" alt=\"\" src=\"http:\/\/www.myza.co.za\/press\/wp-content\/plugins\/rss-poster\/cache\/e80b0_pixy.gif\" \/><\/p>\n<h3 class=\"related_post_title\">Related  &#8230;&#8230;<\/h3>\n<ul class=\"related_post zem_rp\">\n<li><a href=\"http:\/\/myjhb.co.za\/froome-inspires-alma-maters-championship-bid\/\" class=\"zem_rp_thumbnail\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/www.myza.co.za\/press\/wp-content\/plugins\/rss-poster\/cache\/e80b0_UJ-_Chris_Froome-150x150.jpg\" alt=\"Froome inspires alma mater\u2019s championship bid\" \/><\/a><a href=\"http:\/\/myjhb.co.za\/froome-inspires-alma-maters-championship-bid\/\" class=\"zem_rp_title\">Froome inspires alma mater\u2019s championship bid<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"http:\/\/myjhb.co.za\/exploring-technology-and-change-in-the-automotive-industry\/\" class=\"zem_rp_thumbnail\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/www.myza.co.za\/press\/wp-content\/plugins\/rss-poster\/cache\/e80b0_Johan-van-Zyl-150x150.jpg\" alt=\"Exploring technology and change in the automotive industry\" \/><\/a><a href=\"http:\/\/myjhb.co.za\/exploring-technology-and-change-in-the-automotive-industry\/\" class=\"zem_rp_title\">Exploring technology and change in the automotive industry<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"http:\/\/myjhb.co.za\/macdonald-takes-to-joberg2c-stage\/\" class=\"zem_rp_thumbnail\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/www.myza.co.za\/press\/wp-content\/plugins\/rss-poster\/cache\/e80b0_Neil_MacDonald_Waylon_Woolcock-150x150.jpg\" alt=\"MacDonald takes to joBerg2c stage\" \/><\/a><a href=\"http:\/\/myjhb.co.za\/macdonald-takes-to-joberg2c-stage\/\" class=\"zem_rp_title\">MacDonald takes to joBerg2c stage<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"http:\/\/myjhb.co.za\/joberg2c-attracts-olympic-rowers\/\" class=\"zem_rp_thumbnail\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/www.myza.co.za\/press\/wp-content\/plugins\/rss-poster\/cache\/b5a54_Matthew_Brittain-150x150.jpg\" alt=\"joBerg2c attracts Olympic Rowers\" \/><\/a><a href=\"http:\/\/myjhb.co.za\/joberg2c-attracts-olympic-rowers\/\" class=\"zem_rp_title\">joBerg2c attracts Olympic Rowers<\/a><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><!--\n\t\t\n--><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The countdown has begun for the 2013 edition of the Johannesburg International Motor Show and, as in the past, South Africa\u2019s most loved brand will be leading the way with one of the biggest stands and undoubtedly the largest presence Toyota has ever had at the show.
