Toyota to reveal Hybrid-R sports car

Update, August 13: Toyota has released another teaser image of the Hybrid-R concept car, and with a bit of digital tweaking it appears as though the prototype design is in fact a compact hatch.

Though no new details on the highly-anticipated vehicle have been released, it looks increasingly likely the high-performance hybrid will be of similar size to the Toyota Corolla.

Toyota hot hatch fans will now have something to crow about, particularly as the vehicle is rumoured to have a high-performance track-based driving mode. More details as we get them.

Toyota has announced it will stage the world debut of a new Hybrid-R
concept “for road and track” at the Frankfurt motor show on September
10.

Apart from this logo, Toyota has revealed only that it will be powered by the same Toyota Hybrid System-Racing (THS-R) technology seen in the brand’s TS030 race car that finished second behind Audi in this year’s Le Mans 24-hour endurance race.
