Toyota is celebrating its online premiere of the all-new GR HV Concept, ahead of its public debut, which will take place at the 2017 Tokyo Motor Show, at the end of the month.
The name stands for Gazoo Racing (GR), whereas HV initials refer to Hybrid Vehicles, and supposedly said to have been inspired by the legendary Supra and Sport 800 racing in the World Endurance Championship (WEC).
Visually, the new car show looks like in the current generation of 86, even if the automaker does not make a reference to it, featuring new front and rear ends, LED headlamps, a small boot cap spoiler, a central exhaust pipe inserted into the diffuser, and Targa-style roof. The exterior is dominated by matte black, and the concept is also equipped with hood features to provide additional cooling to the powertrain.
By the way, Toyota GR HV uses an unspecified hybrid powertrain, which drives output backwards through automatic transmission. However, the driver can also choose a six-speed manual operation, using a compact H-gear shift, with a touch of a button.
Another cool feature is the ignition button, which is located on the automatic transmission lever, and additional points to the water meter, oil, and additional water gauge shown on the infotainment system.
