Toyota to Enter the Denso SARD Supra HV-R in Tokachi
After finishing 4th in class and 17th overall last year with the Lexus GS450h, Team Toyota is heading back to the Tokachi 24-hour endurance race in Japan on July 15th, 2007 with a souped up Denso SARD Supra HV-R (pictures below). More info and specs on the Supra HV-R from AutoblogGreen (via):
The Supra HV-R is a hybrid whose Super GT-spec 4,480cc V8 is augmented with regenerative braking, a pair of 10kW in-wheel motors up front and a 150kW motor in the rear. The engine’s output is rated at 480 horsepower and 376 lb-ft of torque, and the car’s weight will come in at a little over 2,300 pounds.
Some artwork specs for the HV-R. The final product may be slightly different, but probably not all that much. Looks good, doesn’t it?
