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.

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.
