Toyota Gazoo begins a new era of endurance racing with the launch of its all-new GR010 HYBRID Hypercar, which will compete in the 2021 FIA World Endurance Championship (WEC). The GR010 HYBRID is a prototype racer developed over the last 18 months by engineers at the team’s headquarters in Cologne, Germany and the electric hybrid powertrain experts at Higashi-Fuji in Japan.

Powertrain 
The GR010 HYBRID incorporates a potent four-wheel-drive racing hybrid powertrain, with a 3.5litre V6 twin-turbo engine, providing 680PS to the rear wheels and combining with a 272PS motor-generator unit, developed by AISIN AW and DENSO, on the front axle. Total output is capped at 500kW (680PS), meaning the GR010 HYBRID’s sophisticated electronics reduce engine power according to the amount of hybrid boost deployed. ‘This car represents our next generation of racing hybrid,’ explains Toyota Gazoo Racing Team President, Hisatake Murata. ‘During our LMP1 era, since 2012, we worked tirelessly to improve and strengthen our hybrid technology for racing. We set new standards with the TS050 HYBRID, and our first loop of racing hybrid development is complete; this technology will be available to our future customers soon. Now the second stage will begin.
