tuckevalastin · 01-10-2009, 09:55 PM

hybrid sports car concept with a body designed by an Italian design firm

doesn't look Toyota to me and also doesn't look very original to me but I guess it's better than a Prius

The Architect · 01-10-2009, 09:55 PM

"Toyota Alessandro Volta"
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The Toyota Alessandro Volta is a concept car developed in the collaboration of the Japanese manufacturer Toyota and the Italian design company Italdesign Giugiaro. The concept vehicle named after Alessandro Volta, the Italian physicist who invented the battery, was officially unveiled at the 2004 Geneva Motor Show and it is a study of a hybrid-powered sports car.
The car was built on a carbon fiber chassis and features a four wheel drive hybrid powertrain of the Lexus RX 400h which combines a 3.3-litre V6 gasoline engine with two electric engines. The gasoline engine is fitted behind the rear axle and there are additional two electrically powered engines, one on each axle. The combination develops a maximum output of 300 kW (408 bhp), which enables the car to accelerate from 0 to 100 km/h (0 to 62 mph) in 4.03 seconds and reach the top speed of 250 km/h (155 mph). The car seats three people abreast and features drive-by-wire controls. The concept never materialized as a production car due to high costs involved.

rear end of the silver one reeks of modernized Acura NSX.....

buthukoy · 01-11-2009, 02:03 AM

Looks very similar to the new LOTUS EVORA.. a Toyota powered, mid-engined, two-plus-two sports car. The Toyota 2GR-FE dual VVT-i engine: 276-hp, 3.5 liter V-6; estimated 0-60 mph in less than 5-seconds & a top speed of 160 mph.
Projected to go on sale this spring in Europe & be launched in the U.S. at the end of 2009. Lotus Evora..$65,000 est.
