Default Delta 4x4 RX300 Kompressor

My girlfriend was recently in Germany and came back with a bunch of German car magazines. I was reading one called "Auto Bild Test & Tuning" and it had a page of cool SUVs, and one of them was a supercharged RX330!

Our scanner isn't working well right now, but I took a couple of pictures of the RX, looks very cool.

I did a few searches and found that the Delta4x4 was mentioned a couple of years ago, but nothing since then so I thought I'd post for all the new members.





Some other links...

It's here on this site too, I seem to remember seeing pictures of this RX (remember the wheels) on CL recently.

Dave, I made some pics of this car at the last Essen show (2003) in Germany.
I'll try to find out some more if they are still there this year.

Thanks for the photos. Sure looks cool.

Actually it's a RX300. RX/Harrier outside of North America still use 3.0L V6. We are blessed with the new 3.3L V6.

Apparently it's a very weak supercharger. Its 0-100 kmph (or 0-62 mph) time was 8.2 seconds. A mere 0.6 second improvement over stock AWD RX300's time 8.8 seconds.

TTE do a supercharger for the MKI RX300, adds about 50bhp. I think they are going to adapt it for the MKII. Cannot see it will fit on a 330 though.
