toronado/trofeo differences?

Postby novaroger » Mon Aug 24, 2009 3:15 pm

I am looking at a 90 Toronado it is not a Trofeo. What are the differences between the two?
Is it a ground effects body kit? Dual exhaust tips??

thanks Roger

The Trofeo is just a trim level. Upgrading to that package got you luxury and appearance type items, items that could be ordered on a standard Toronado anyway. It included a slightly different front fascia and ground effects, lending the car a slightly sportier look.

The Trofeo also has firmer struts and different bushings (the FE3 type), these allow the body to sit slightly lower on the subframe. When I asked the tech dept of one of the after market strut suppliers, they advised me that their struts were slightly firmer than the Trofeo and therefore significantly firmer than the standard Toro. (IIRC it was Monroe)

The Trofeo had a lot of content.
As mentioned the FE3 package was a big one.
Basically the entire exterior was body colored, versus some chromed trim in Toronado
Trofeo had ABS brakes, optional in Toronado.
Lumbar seats in Trofeo
16" rims vs 15 (and nicer looking)
Foglamps added
Interior is leather vs cloth
