Certainly will not be remembered for the aesthetic, stylistic features using the more distant from the Toyota production, but the new Hybrid Sports Concept GRMN is a sports competition careful to ecology. Before describing it, it's a duty to explain the origin of its name: GRMN is in fact an acronym for Master of Nurburgring Racing Gazoo, the preparer whose name bringing the idea (Gazoo) and whose source of inspiration to dedicate the result.
Master of the Nürburgring is a veiled reference to Hiromu Naruse, test pilot who died in 2010 during testing of the Lexus LFA Nurburgring Edition. Among the curbs of the track will be also presented the German Sports Hybrid Concept heavier spiders 1,500 pounds and equipped with a hybrid platform from 299 hp total.
From 248 hp to the 3.5-liter V6 goes in fact a small electric module, which adds another 50 horses but also moves the front wheels, creating a 4WD system. This prototype is an evolution of the MR2 Sports Hybrid Concept.
