Well, this is a KERS system. Don’t understand why F1 (or the manufacturers in it) never took advantage of the “hybrid” word in terms of marketing.

I might be wrong but I doubt it, the electric motors should give a fantastic torque jump as well as some hp gain… similar to kers just always there
Forgive me for not understanding, but what is the point on the electric motors in this car? It sounds like the only time they are used is on pit row!
way better sound than audi’s shitty diesel sound
you don’t know shit the prius uses Nickel Metal Hydride batteries, maybe in the future they might use lithium ion but not when this post was made.
Actually the current plug in Prius does have a li-ion battery.
ugh. its a shame toyota had troubles this year at Le Mans… the car was in 3rd place when it got out…
Actually, like the Audi, the Toyota TS030 uses a KERS flywheel system that stores kinetic energy in the form of a free-spinning low-friction metal wheel when the car slows down. The wheel maintains some of the energy for use in accelerating.
how does this argument have anything to do with this video? Actually, the hybrid system in the toyota race car uses the energy from braking and uses it again on the straits. The extra boost more than makes up for the extra weight of the system not to mention the fuel that is saved. Lastly, the toyota race car doesn’t even use batteries. It uses super capacitors that have no “lead” or anything like that.
Your father is Loic Duval? And how old are you?
Spaceship start…
actually, i do hope they get a successful season with this one… somehow, to make up for the lapses that the TS020 GT-One… the TS020 was fast, but due to its misfortunes, it never really won a race… i do hope they have more luck with this one…
My father is Loic Duval , and i go everytime with him just to see him driving the r-18 TDI and listen her sound ; but i must say that the toyota has a better sound.
in an interview tetsuyu tada said toyota held 78%(from memory) of subaru. according to the wiki though, toyota owns something like 16%? or 18%? of FHI (Fuji Heavy Industries) who own subaru. I guess depending on the size and number of other companies under FHI, that 16% share of FHI could be a 78% share of one of their smaller companies? At any rate,Toyota obviously own a large enough chunk of subaru to have their R&D work on projects for them otherwise the 86 would have a 2zzge(IMHO it should)
78% you say..
Very nice car, but i think that Audi win LeMans, because Toyota have big break between GT-ONE.
Now they have financially recovered from that and they have the financial breathing room, they are refocusing on autosports and exciting cars.
Point being, Performance cars are projects usually run at a loss. Ie, the large cost of development and production vs the relatively small amount of sales, leaves a very small, if any profit margin. Most automotive manufacturers produce performance cars out of passion .the factory fires cost toyota hundreds of millions of dollars, They werent about to take any gambles or waste any resources on low volume sales. So all resources were put into producing products with the highest return. Fleet cars
Reading your previous comments, are you seriously saying that Toyota went bland, dull and cheerless with their cars because of the factory accident?
Point being, couldn’t they just produce a performance car in their remaining facilities?
The 86 is being sold under the subaru badge to maximise sales. Subaru fans that would never buy the car under the toyota name will flock to it with a subaru badge on it. As toyota owns subaru anyway, the more money subaru makes…the more money toyota makes…so why not sell it under both names. Same goes for scion in the US. Im honestly surprised that we havnt seen a lexus version of it….yet.
it’s a petrol car! not a diesel car like audi!
toyota’s engine is gasoline
The whistle of the electric engine is too much annoying!!!Agghh My ears!!!
hmmm thats a petrol engine……
@ 0:08 until the engine starts.
Would you mind telling me where exactly this change is?
If diesels start sounding like that ill start liking them a bit more
No diesel can get to that high pitch, definitely gasoline.
You can clearly hear it’s NOT dieselpowered
Its a milkfloat with a fucking monster inside it
audi will humiliate it..
toyota power!!!
Um, i dont think this is diesel powered…..
dude these is not a fucking peugeot or audi this is a toyota so its not a diesel!
Fingers crossed for Toyota :p
Yeah, I agree, but Audi gonna win, that’s all.
I think they will put this in with the last Pug 908
Cool windshield wiper
My thoughts exactly.
The stupid Audi r18 is there, why can’t this masterpiece be in the game too?
forza 4 DLC please?
PETROL IS SO MUCH BETTER THAN DIESEL!
My kinda hybrid.
Petrol…
It’s not a diesel though. Dubstep sucks.
