  • is the V8 only to produce electricity or are the electric motors in addition to the V8?

  • It's a parrallel hybrid so the motor and transmission layout is normal. The electric motors collect energy during braking (just like a Prius) into a corner and store it in fast charge capacitors. Heading out of a corner that power is reapplied through the electric motors adding 230hp to the V8s 450hp (total 680hp)to boost acceleration and save fuel.

    Should win hands down at Lemans.

  • I would love to drive this track!

  • this car had kers before it was cool

  • That voice at 7:00 is so familiar, is that Radio Le Mans' John Hindy commentating

  • Amazing technology

  • @nyocok There were people in the corner and his oversteer was to bad for him to keep moving, so he had to stop. Its a nasty turn!

  • I own a 1997 Twin Turbo Supra Manual transmission. Im very aware of the car design and potential. I love it so much Im amazed every time I see it. Yeah this supra is not setup for this course.

  • @wardogmobius look and listen to around 7:00 aswell :)

  • @wardogmobius if i remember correctly there is 1 corner where it cannot corner sharp enough at the low speed entry so people have to push it. obviously not setup for that course i guess

    i own an mkiv so im quite aware of their handling in stock form. i cannot imagine a better weight distributed, lighter, slightly more powerful one

    here it is look at 2:30

  • @adamgm84 This supra won the 2007 Tokachi 24 Japan. What do you meand it doesnt have handling? THink again....LOL
