[UPDATE] Toyota to unveil hybrid sports car at the 2013 Frankfurt Motor Show

For the 2013 Frankfurt Motor Show, Toyota announced last week that they will be featuring the Hybrid-R Concept. The concept vehicle will carry the Toyota Hybrid System-Racing (THS-R) technology that currently is in the TS030 Hybrid racing in the FIA World Endurance Championship.

 

The Hybrid-R will be the first street car that has the THS-R system. There is no other information released ahead of Frankfurt except for the logo that Toyota offered up, but it looks like Toyota is a making a little push in the sports car world. 

 

The TS030 Hybrid has a 3.4-litre V-8 with 530 hp and an additional 300 hp from the electric motor. We will hopefully find out what’s inside the Hybrid-R concept when it will be unveiled at the Frankfurt Motor Show starting September 10th.
