Toyota are ceasing the V8s and using V6s soon.
Quote:........... The V35A-FTS is a 3.5-liter twin-turbocharged V6 gasoline engine debuted in 2017 with the fifth-generation Lexus LS 500.
This new member of Toyota's Dynamic Force engine family is the first turbocharged V-engine in Toyota's history.
In the near future, the manufacturer will stop using all V8 engines (1UR-FE, 3UR-FE) in Toyota and Lexus vehicles, and this 3.5-liter twin-turbo V6 will replace them.
The new engine is not only full of technical solutions similar to the already well-known inline-4 A25A and M20Ab engine but also made several steps forward.
The engine achieves 37% thermal efficiency. ..........
.................... The head design utilizes laser-sprayed intake valve seats instead of traditional press-fitted ones.
Intake channels are almost straight, and the exhaust manifold is integrated into the cylinder head.
Like other modern engines, the integrated exhaust manifold is also water-cooled to help shorten engine warm-up times to reduce emissions.
For each cylinder, there are two intake and two exhaust valves (sodium-cooled). .............
........... Each cylinder head has its own high-pressure fuel pump driven by an additional lobe on each exhaust camshaft. Depending on engine needs, those pumps provide fuel pressure in the range of 2.4-20 MPa inside the forged steel high-pressure fuel rails used for the direct injectors .................
......... Each turbocharger sends compressed air through its own air-to-water intercooler integrated inside a polymer intake air surge tank mounted on top of the engine. Intercoolers and turbochargers use a separate cooling system with an additional radiator and electric pump. .......

I'm not too keen on turbos, esp petrol turbos.
I like the laser sprayed valve seats, they have done it for a while now.
Sodium cooled exhaust valves??
High pressure fuel pump - I would prefer not, but that is how they get 37% efficiency.
Turbos are intercooled with separate radiator and pump .
