Toyota's made a Reventon-like hybrid sports car
The GT86's evil twin gets a Le Mans-inspired hybrid powertrain and a weird gearbox.
Toyota will show many concepts at the Tokyo motor show, but we suspect none will be as intriguing as this. What looks like a Toyota GT86 that’s been given a Lamborghini Reventon-style makeover is actually far, far more interesting than that.
The Toyota GR HV Sports concept features a hybrid drivetrain. Rather than lifting one straight out of a nearby Prius, though, this one comes with THS-R (Toyota Hybrid System-Racing) technology that’s inspired by Toyota’s hybrid Le Mans car.
Actual engine and motor details are conspicuous by their absence, but we suspect the endurance racer’s 1,000bhp petrol-electric setup isn’t squeezed under its mini-Batmobile body.
I love it!!!
