Toyota Teases 400-Horsepower Hybrid-R Concept
Toyota will bring the Hybrid-R Concept to the Frankfurt Motor show. The Hybrid-R uses a current production car as a vehicle for a lot of the same technology from Toyota Racing’s TS030 LMP1 car.
Details are scarce, but we’re told a high-power internal combustion engine and electric motors produce more than 400 horsepower, and that the car can be suited to the road or a racetrack via a dual-mode control.
We’ll have more details, including a better look at the Hybrid-R Concept, when it debuts on September 10.
