Toyota Gazoo Racing has revealed a new GR Super Sports Concept at the Tokyo Auto Salon, a sportscar that incorporates hybrid power technology developed through Toyota???s top-level participation in the FIA World Endurance Championship. The GR Super Sport Concept, making its world debut at the salon, 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. The concept is a demonstration of how Toyota Gazoo Racing uses participation in motorsport to help produce ever-better cars, feeding back technologies and skills acquired through race and rally competition into the development of new production vehicles. This includes the new limited edition Yaris GRMN, the first GRMN model to be built and sold in Europe. The development programme for the Yaris GRMN drew directly on experience gained from the standard Yaris???s (Vitz) entry in the Japanese Rally Championship and from track testing on the N?zrburgring???s challenging Nordschleife circuit. Toyota also sees its continued participation in the WEC being highly beneficial to the development of cutting-edge hybrid and electrified vehicle systems. Fuel-saving technologies and other valuable insights gained from competing in such a demanding environment are already being fed back into production vehicles. Shigeki Tomoyama, President of Toyota Gazoo Racing, said: ??sRather than developing production cars into sports cars, we aim to work out how to incorporate the know-how gained from racing and rallying into production cars. This is how sporting competition contributes to Toyota Gazoo Racing???s efforts to make ever-better cars. ??sThus,
