The Toyota UR engine family is a 32-valve dual overhead camshaft V8 piston engine series which was first introduced in 2006, as the UZ series it replaced began phasing out. Production started with the 1UR-FSE engine with D-4S direct injection for the 2007 Lexus LS. The series launched with a die-cast aluminum engine block, aluminum cylinder heads and magnesium cylinder head covers.{{cite web|url=http://www.autofieldguide.com/articles/090601.html|title=Lexus Comes Into Its Own|publisher=Automotive Design & Production|last=Vasilash|first=Gary|year=2006|accessdate=2007-05-06|url-status=dead|archiveurl=https://web.archive.org/web/20070926230046/http://www.autofieldguide.com/articles/090601.html|archivedate=2007-09-26}} All UR engines feature variable valve timing for both intake and exhaust cams or Dual VVT-i. Timing chains are used to drive the camshafts. The UR engine has been produced in 4.6, 5.0, and 5.7-liter displacement versions.

1UR

The 1UR-FSE V8 engine, introduced with the Lexus LS 460 & LS 460 L luxury sedans in 2006 has a {{Convert|4608|cc|L|1|order=flip|abbr=on}} displacement, which it gets from a bore and stroke of {{convert|94x83|mm|2|abbr=on}}. The engine includes D-4S direct injection and dual VVT-iE producing {{convert|385|hp|kW PS|0|abbr=on}} at 6,400 rpm and {{Convert|51|kgm|Nm lbft|0|abbr=on}} at 4,100 rpm. The maximum engine speed is 6,800 RPM.

1UR-FSE undergoes X-ray inspection and a CT (computed tomography) scan to ensure minimal deformation after the die-casting process. Camshafts are hollow to minimize weight.{{Cite web|url=http://www.pressroom.com.au/press_kit_detail.asp?clientID=3&navSectionID=13&categoryID=1000&kitID=222|title = Pressroom - Lexus - Press Kit Details}}

Applications:

=1UR-FE=

The 1UR-FE is based on the 1UR-FSE but lacks the D-4S direct injection technology. Originally used for Lexus vehicles in the Middle East, it was introduced in 2010 in other markets to replace the 2UZ-FE engine in truck and SUV applications. This engine produces {{convert|322|hp|kW PS|0|abbr=on}} at 6,900 rpm and {{Convert|46.9|kgm|Nm lbft|0|abbr=on}} at 4,400 rpm in the Lexus GS and LS. For the Toyota Land Cruiser and Lexus GX the engine produces {{convert|304|hp|kW PS|0|abbr=on}} at 5,900 rpm and {{Convert|44.8|kgm|Nm lbft|0|abbr=on}} at 3,800 rpm.

The 2UR-GSE is a {{cvt|4969|cc|L CID|1|order=flip|abbr=on}} naturally aspirated V8 engine fitted to the IS F, RC F, GS F, LC 500, and IS 500. It is an all-alloy DOHC, 4 valves per cylinder with Yamaha-designed high-flow cylinder heads, titanium inlet valves, high-lift camshafts and dual-length intake. It has D-4S gasoline port and direct injection, Dual VVT-i with electric VVT-iE inlet camshaft actuation. Bore and stroke is {{convert|94|×|89.5|mm|in|2|abbr=on}}. The engine's redline was increased with each iteration, ranging from 6,800 rpm to 7,300 rpm. The South Africa-based Gazoo Racing SA Toyota Hilux Dakar truck also utilizes the engine. The Lexus RCF GT3 utilises a re-stroked version of this engine which displaces 5.4 litres and makes {{convert|373|kW|bhp PS|0|abbr=on}}.{{Cite web|url=https://toyotagazooracing.com/gt3/cars/|title=LEXUS RC F GT3 CAR DETAILS - TOYOTA GAZOO Racing}}

In the IS F, the engine had an 11.8:1 compression ratio and produced {{convert|310|kW|bhp PS|0|abbr=on}} @ 6,600 rpm and {{Convert|51.3|kgm|lbft Nm|0|abbr=on}} @ 5,200 rpm of torque.{{cite web|url=https://www.ultimatecarpage.com/spec/3041/Lexus-IS-F.html|website=ultimatecarpage.com|title=2007 Lexus IS-F|accessdate=June 26, 2018}} In the RC F and GS F, the compression ratio was increased to 12.3:1, the rev limit raised to 7,300 rpm and output {{convert|348|kW|bhp PS|0|abbr=on}} @ 7,100 rpm and {{Convert|53.8|kgm|lbft Nm|0|abbr=on}} of torque at 4,800-5,600 rpm. The engine received a further increase in power to {{convert|351|kW|bhp PS|abbr=on|0}} @ 7,100 rpm and {{convert|55.1|kgm|lbft Nm|abbr=on|0}} of torque at 4,800 rpm in the LC and {{convert|354|kW|bhp PS|abbr=on|0}} @ 7,100 rpm and {{convert|54.6|kgm|lbft Nm|abbr=on|0}} of torque at 4,800 rpm in the 2019 RC F.{{cite web|url=https://www.ultimatecarpage.com/spec/5734/Lexus-RC-F.html|website=ultimatecarpage.com|title=2014 Lexus RC-F|accessdate=June 26, 2018}}{{Cite web|url=https://www.motor1.com/news/329144/2020-lexus-rcf-track-edition-price/|title = 2020 Lexus RC F Starts at $64,750, Track Edition Pricier Than LC}} Although since 2018, the RC F received a power decrease to {{convert|341|kW|bhp PS|abbr=on|0}} in European markets.

From its introduction, the 2UR-GSE was exclusively available with an 8-speed automatic transmission, based on the Lexus LS460’s transmission. The Lexus LC500 is an exception, as that vehicle uses a 10-speed automatic. No manual transmission option has been offered from Toyota or Lexus from the factory with this engine.

The 2UR-FSE is a {{convert|4969|cc|L|1|order=flip|abbr=on}} engine which previously powered the Lexus LS 600h and the third-generation Toyota Century. It has D-4S gasoline direct injection, Dual VVT-i, and VVT-iE on the intake cam. It has the same bore and stroke as the 2UR-GSE, but produces {{convert|394|hp|kW PS|0|abbr=on}} at 6,400 rpm and {{Convert|53|kgm|Nm lbft|0|abbr=on}} at 4,000 rpm. The electric motors (Lexus Hybrid Drive) in the system add extra power into the drivetrain, allowing the combination to deliver {{convert|327|kW|hp PS|0|abbr=on}} in total.

The engine's valve covers are made from a magnesium alloy, the cylinder heads are manufactured from aluminum alloy, while like the 1UR engine block it is die-cast to save weight.[http://www.sae.org/automag/globalvehicles/12-2006/1-114-12-10.pdf Society of Automotive Engineers] {{webarchive|url=https://web.archive.org/web/20110605060206/http://www.sae.org/automag/globalvehicles/12-2006/1-114-12-10.pdf |date=2011-06-05 }}
