About the Toyota GR010 Hybrid
The Toyota GR010 Hybrid is a masterpiece of engineering and technology, specifically designed for the FIA World Endurance Championship (WEC). This generation of the Toyota hybrid was produced starting in 2021 and replaces its predecessor, the Toyota TS050 Hybrid. The car was developed by a talented group of engineers including Hisatake Murata and Pascal Vasselon, who paved the way for this high-performance vehicle with their innovative ideas. The car combines a 3.5-liter V6 twin-turbo hybrid engine with two electric motors to achieve impressive performance and fuel efficiency. This combination allows the Toyota GR010 Hybrid to reach a peak power of about 680 PS (670 hp).

Both the chassis design and suspension were specifically tailored to meet the demanding requirements of endurance racing. The aerodynamic elements include a large rear wing, as well as complex channels and air deflectors to ensure optimal airflow. Noteworthy is the hybrid system that recovers energy and stores it in batteries to provide additional boost during crucial race phases.
