I assume they'll be using a 'clean' version of the 4.5 litre twin turbo diesel V8 we get for the Landcruisers here?

650Nm of torque isn't to be sneezed at

it is when your competitors produce 700-900Nm of torque

Does anyone know if the diesels in Europe have been using urea injection and/or particulate filters for a while? I love all these new diesels coming out, but having to rely on the stealership to fill up the urea or emply the particulate filter has me worried.

It has to be the pee of a Toyota employee or you'll void the warranty.

Out of what sized engine, and at what fuel consumption?
