More details have been released of the Toyota Hybrid R, which is inspired by the Yaris, the details have been revealed ahead of the car's official debut at the Frankfurt Motor Show.The company released more details and an official sketch on the Hybrid - R concept.
The car is based on the Toyota Yaris and combines a 1.6 litre Global Race Engine along with two electric motors for a total of over 400 brake horsepower. The motors drive the back wheels and the engine drives the front to make the model all wheel drive.
This will be the first road car from the company to feature any hybrid technology from their Le Mans racer. A super capacitor powers the electric motor, which harvests energy that has been lost due to braking.
