Hybrid Toyota Supra Wins Tokachi 24-Hour Race!

Toyota Team SARD's specially-prepared Supra HV-R hybrid GT racer has won the Tokachi 24-hour endurance race in Japan. The converted Super GT-spec racing car did so convincingly, too. As the only GT-class car in the field, the Denso SARD Supra HV-R maintained a steady lead of several laps throughout the course of the race, and in the later hours, it essentially dialed things up a notch and ran away from the rest of the field.

Motor will assist its acceleration if needed as long as the battery is not used up. The race is more about experimenting some new setups and new techniques because Supra HV-R is the only GT car in the field.

Good news. What are the functions of the two small in-wheel motors in the front wheels?

That will increase the possibilities of the productions of the Lexus LF-A hybrid supercar and the Toyota FT-HS supercar.

Green supercars are coming...

Another demonstration of the superiority of Toyota/Lexus technology. Nothing comes close.

Well then, david, how come the Prius is not as economical as its competitors, and hybrids aren't suddenly selling. Because the technology is kinda rubbish at the minute, the concept is good though. The other manufacturers are not stupid enough to produce a car that doesn't have reliable technology.
