WHAT’S NEW IN THE WORLD OF TOYOTA SA


A NEED FOR SPEED At the recent Tokyo Auto Salon, Toyota Gazoo Racing revealed the ultimate in guy-garage-gear: the new GR Super Sports Concept. It’s


a sports car that’s a hybrid…


Every guy wants to be a superhero, with all the gadgets and red-hot cars that come with that comic-book- style kapow! The good news is that, thanks to Toyota and Toyota Gazoo Racing, to own these wheels one day, you won’t have to be bitten by a radioactive spider, or fall to Earth from a far-off planet, or even be an eccentric billionaire who’s fascinated


by flying rats. The new GR Super Sports Concept is a superhero- worthy sports car that incorporates hybrid power technology developed through Toyota’s top-level participation in the FIA World Endurance Championship. The GR Super Sport Concept shares


most of its principal parts with Toyota’s TS050 Hybrid WEC race-car. Beneath


its flowing, original bodywork there is a twin-turbo, direct injection V6 engine and a Toyota Hybrid System Racing powertrain, both of which have been honed in international racing. With its high-efficiency EV system and lean- burn engine, this next-generation super sports car is engineered to deliver both exceptional power and environmental performance.
