Toyota engineers are special people - working to enhance the vehicle that is reliable, affordable and versatile to the public during the day , while at night they also continue to work on their second job , build a car like the one here , for example.
Hand -build concept car has been created by the Toyota Engineering Society and was unveiled at the Tokyo Auto Salon this year under the name TE - 800 Spyder . And this car carries a plug- in hybrid technology.
This compact sport seems to be inspired from the MR2 and Prius at the same time . It uses the mid-engine configuration legendary style lightweight sports car that is affordable and backed by the same hybrid drivetrain as the Toyota Prius . The weight of this car is right at 1,000 kg , and the battery has been relocated to the central tunnel , while the hybrid system has been tuned slightly to accelerate from 0-100 km / h can be achieved in 5.8 seconds.
This car is quite handsome and looks like fun to drive , and who knows someday Toyota will decide to give the GT 86 smaller brother based on this concept.
