Toyota shows a little more of the Yaris Hybrid-R

We already knew almost everything about this 400PS (395bhp or 294kW) pocket rocket. Now, we can get a better look of it. But first, i'll do a short summary of what we can expect from the 3-door Yaris. It comes with a 1.6-liter Global Race Engine (GRE) developed by Toyota Motorsport (TMG) and two electric motors.

Toyota reveals a little more of the Yaris Hybrid-R concept

Toyota confirms what we already knew. The special hybrid car that is going to be shown at the Frankfurt Motor Show is based on the Yaris. I am almost certain this car won't be produced, but the technology used in it might find its way into a production model, possibly the new Supra, but that is unknown for now.

Seems the Toyota Hybrid-R concept isn't the new Supra, but a special Yaris

This is a sad day. When half the world thought that Toyota was going to show the successor to the Supra, we find out that the Hybrid-R is just a special version of the Yaris. Well, "just" is a little unfair, because the hybrid powertrain, based on the TS030 Hybrid Le Mans race car, generates over 400PS (395bhp or 294kW).

Toyota will debut the Hybrid-R concept in Frankfurt. Supra?

Toyota just announced they are going to reveal for the first time the Hybrid-R concept at the Frankfurt Motor Show. I have no idea what it could be or what is its purpose, but we do know it is going to showcase what they learned with the TS030 Hybrid Le Mans race car, and it can be applied to a road car.
