(from Toyota Press Release) The hybrid takes a supercar disguise for promoting a new way of designing the environment friendly car of the future. “We have entered a new era. We have created a hybrid that has nothing to do with the typical electric power vehicle which so often flaunts rather unappealing characteristics”, Fabrizio Giugiaro asserts. “When creating the volumes of this eco supercar, the idea at the back of my mind was to recapture the stylish features of the central-engine models, which I had already used with the BMW Nazca, the Alfa Romeo Scighera and the Volkswagen V 12, to demonstrate that if a racing shell can combine a “clean” and innovative propulsion system, the headroom for creating and designing environmentally-friendly sedan and compact cars of the future would be huge.”

Don't forget about the gas-mileage monster Opel Eco-Speedster!

The question is, will it be fwd, awd, or rwd. (oh, wait it'a awd. ok)
All would make it a neat package, something sporty that handles like crazy and has power and economy.
The perfect car? maybe, if it has a full sized spare.
