The photos below are the ones that leaked in an Australian auto magazine about the all-new from ground-up (including the engine) Isuzu RT-50.
As early as 2nd-quarter of 2011 it's been already rumoured that it comes with a plus-180 hp powerplant. It had undergone several tests in Chonburi, Thailand as related by a Thai contact.

New Isuzu DMAX launched in Thailand
Isuzu D-Max – all-new model makes debut in Thailand
Bangkok Post : New Isuzu D-Max
May Single Cab at may Double Cab.
DMAX and Chevy Colorado bodies are jointly developed.
Re: 2012/2013 Isuzu D-MAX!
Halos same torque with the current Ranger at 380Nm for the 3.0 mill. Hindi pa yan yung pinaka-malupit na RT-50 pero worth noting yung addt'l points sa chassis, rear legroom at yung 5 speed AT. :)

The company says that the new D-Max’s body is 42% stiffer than the old one, and will help bring about improved handling and ride. In the double-cab, the larger dimensions of the vehicle bring about more legroom space for rear occupants, who also get more comfy seats at the back.
In terms of engines, three turbodiesel options abound – a 177 hp and 380 Nm 3.0 litre heads the list, followed by a 2.5 litre mill in two output tunes, the first being the familiar 116 hp and 280 Nm as seen on the current vehicle, and the other the VGS version offering 136 hp and 320 Nm. As for transmissions, there’s the usual five-speed manual, but the auto tranny is now a five-speed unit, bringing it in line with current expectation.

I WANT IT HUWAAAW! :bowako:
That's more than good-enough for me for a utility pickup, and still an improvement from the current 4JJ1-TCX VGS, from 163 metric-hp to 180 metric-hp (if that is really 177 hp). For a body that weighs say 2650 kg, that is an increase of power-to-weight ratio of 69.23 ps per tonne.
The current Philippine DMax's power-to-weight ratio is only 55.01 ps per tonne.
At a hindsight Boss Ry_Tower, my Yamaha YZ250 2-stroke though produces 47 hp and it weighs only 95.7 kg. So just imagine how much power-to-weight ratio i get each time i hit the dirtroads in the mountains ....LOVELY-JUBBLY! :grin:

Oo nga, almost 26% improvement, which would translate to better FC, better towing and loading capacity.

I don't like the Front Grille. Overdone, IMHO. pero everything looks nice!

Me like it a sir.... Looks like a mongrel of Chevy Colorado-Acura MDX-Mercedes/Ssangyong labo-labo all-in-one haha!!!! :grin: :grin:
With all the high-note publicity about it now from just a rumour way back early 2011, i hope Isuzu Phils. brings it here by 2012 (Kahit by-passed na ang DMax VGS Turbo 4JJ1-TCX haha! :belat:)
Will come out daw October 2011 in Thailand ---- see "Isuzu DMax - ang pickup ng mga guwapo" at Facebook.

Boss Ry, uhmmm.... now, i'm seeing more of it inside-out. i like the exterior but i may NOT like the interior, especially if i'm the one driving. i see a dashboard quite similar to the Strada/ Triton and Monterosport which i don't like.... Plus the front-side panels of the body holding the windshield looks so slopey forward where peripheral vision suffers, again which i really really hate. i have never come to terms with this thing while even on a daily-basis i have to drive a Triton in my workplace amongst all other utility pickups like the DMax and the Hilux, my in-laws Monterosport, and now my wife's newly-purchased Innova D4-D. Particularly at night time, i hate driving all these said vehicles, and yes, also the Innova! :twak2: ....By the way, she was issued the Innova (service vehicle replacing the 2003 Crosswind) before i got my recent fieldbreak.
This is the reason why i have always liked the DMax/ Alterra (the 4JH1-TC and the 4JJ1-TC to the 4JJ1-TCX bodies), and the Hilux/ Fortuner body, because i have a better forward, peripheral-and-frontal visions all-together.... i can go much faster driving any of them, squeezing through traffics, and at night times, no problems at all.... Least to say, i have more confidence driving them.
i hope Isuzu doesn't fall too much into the trend where every car manufacturer wants to look every bit modern like the majority (very slopey cars, where some are even slopey in a funny way, some are even egg-shaped! :grin:) ....Hope the new Isuzu RT-50 is not so slopey, ganda pa naman ang engine HUWAAAW....
Unless i see the RT-50 in person and feel it from the inside as the driver, i still like the current DMax body, but this is just me ;)
