SupraStar 3000 Posted July 30, 2009 Share Posted July 30, 2009 Designed by Parisian firm Sacha Lakic, this hybrid racecar feeds power to all four wheels thanks to a 4.5-liter 480-horsepower Super GT V8 engine combined with three electric motors—one at the rear-axle, and two in each of the front-wheels. Total output is a Nascar-like 700 horsepower. Due to a mostly stripped-out interior, the car weighs about 2,400 pounds. The HV-R was the first hybrid racecar ever to win a major racing event when it finished first place at the 616-lap Tokachi 24 in Japan in 2007. see the rest here http://www.hybridcars.com/news/worlds-six-fastest-eco-cars-25631.html Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

j_jza80 Posted July 30, 2009 Share Posted July 30, 2009 So it's just a Supra shell then really! No different really than the famous JGTC/super autobacs cars using a 3S engine really. Seems a shame that the 2jz/v160 is one of the most tunable setups around, yet the weight penalty/size are too much at that level of motorsport.
