Toyota GRMN Sports Hybrid Concept II


Toyota GRMN Sports Hybrid Concept II


Looks like Toyota and Gazoo Racing will be bringing more than just the Lexus LF-A to the Nurburgring 24-hour endurance race this week. In a surprising announcement, the Japanese automaker will also bring their new mid-engine convertible hybrid concept to Nurburgring, which they've christened as the Toyota GRMN Sports Hybrid Concept II.



An updated version of the first concept that was introduced at the 2010 Tokyo Auto Salon, the GRMN Sports Hybrid Concept II is an MR2-based hybrid concept that features plenty of styling cues from the fabled MR2 sports car. It was also designed in a far more aggressive detail befitting of its status as a new-age hybrid concept car.



In addition to the advanced convertible design language of the car, Toyota and GRMN (Gazoo Racing tuned by MN2) also improved on the car's mid-engine sports-hybrid AWD system that now carries a 3.5-liter Type 2GR-FXE V6 engine that produces 249 horsepower to go with a front electric motor that bumps up the output to 299 horsepower.



So far, these are the only details we have of the new Toyota GRMN Sports Hybrid Concept II, but rest assured, we'll have more details when the car makes its official debut at the 24 Hours of Nurburgring this weekend.
