LTI Vehicles is launching their new purpose built TX4 range of London style taxis. The new TX4 is so named as a tribute to LTIs first purpose built Hackney Carriage, the FX4, launched in 1959, and also the fact that the new vehicle has a Euro IV compliant 2.5-litre turbodiesel engine. The new TX4 range of taxis replace the TXII models introduced in 2002.

Why on Earth do you need a 140HP Jeep Cherokee engine for a taxi that will spend most of it's life in town? Surely something like the VAG 1.8 would do better.

So they can chip it and have a go at beating the rest us away from the lights....

This trend for massive grilles eh - it looks like a disaster.

Its functional-lots of room for the aftermarket intercoolers it'll need when they chip it 250bhp!
