In the states there was a potent Supercharged TRD package for that model as well as the Solara, which is a 2nd-gen two-door Camry with a nicer body.
The base 195hp was more than enough. Would be interesting to know how much power the Bathurst Camry is making. No doubt it's way lighter than the standard car. I'd have one.
It'd bring back the old TOCA 2 game nostalgia.
I'm not fully up to date with the regs for the 6hr, but I think they're only allowed to blueprint the internals, and that the exhaust is free from somewhere near the first cat converter.
Pre or post, I couldn't say.
The Camry is a 3.0 DOHC per bank, 24 valve.
In the days before Gazoo, TRD set up in Australia to market performance oriented cars as an alternative to Tickford/FPV and HSV.
Two models made it to market before the idea was killed by the then Toyota Australia chief.
TRD Aurion was a Harrop supercharged 3.5V6 quad cam 24v making 241kW.
It was capable of making more.
This engine would go on to power Lotus' Evora, Exige and Emira.
The other model was a TRD HiLux.
225kW & 453Nm.
From just above idle to around 5700rpm, it generated more torque than the standard vehicle's maximum. 0-100km/h in low 7s.
TRD Australia ceased to exist from 31 March 2009.

Fantastic drive by Gabriela Jilková and Cindy Gudet. Can’t wait for Race 2.
