Based on the most utilitarian Yaris hatchback, Japanese developers have created a very original product, seemingly having no chance of being put into mass production. However, despite all the skepticism, Toyota-hybrid launched in the series.
Regular hatchback "Toyota Yaris" has gained popularity in Russia. It is available in several versions, including a hybrid version. But if the pre-styling hybrid version was powered by lithium-ion batteries, then the latest version of the Toyota hybrid sports car will be powered by supercapacitors.
Sporty "Toyota"-hybrid, the photo of which instantly circled the Internet long before the premiere show at the Frankfurt Salon, is a concept "Toyota Yaris", based on the version of the three-door hatchback. The sports version differs from its prototype primarily in appearance - it has become more aggressive. Having retained Toyota's "family" features, the hybrid nevertheless looks much more dynamic.
Toyota Hybrid Specifications
The Japanese have not yet disclosed all the parameters of dynamism - they are preparing a surprise for the official presentation. However, some indicators of the power-to-weight ratio have become known. The racing variant of the Toyota Yaris R lost all of its batteries. In this variant, the hatchback's electric motor is powered by supercapacitors. It is no secret that their capacity is much less than that of lithium-ion or nickel-metal-hybrid batteries. But capacitors are able to release all the stored energy in a matter of seconds, thus providing amazing energy performance - up to 300 kW per ton of moving mass.
In racing mode, Toyota-hybrid delivers a charge of ionistors in less than 5 seconds (something on the order of 100 W / h). As a result, within a very short time, the rear engines spin up to full power (up to 120 hp). It is not entirely clear why invent such a system if there are three hundred "horses" from a conventional gasoline engine? But why. The combined torque of both electric motors slightly exceeds that of the internal combustion engine, despite the fact that the internal combustion engine is more than two and a half times more powerful than the electric motors. Accordingly, the acceleration of the car is much faster.
It is not only the power plant of the Toyota hybrid that is unique. The control system of the concept deserves special attention. If the front wheels of the hatchbackare about to grind from the insane power being fed to them, the automatic system will transfer some of the gasoline engine's power to a generator that feeds the rear wheels.
If the hybrid hatchback is in normal mode, then its electric motors give out no more than 40 hp. with., the cooling system does not allow them to develop anymore, and the power take-off of the gasoline unit is limited. But when the concept hits the racetrack, it's the perfect balance of power, torque and weight that allows it to achieve record-breaking speeds.
According to experts, this combination of the most important parameters is very unusual for a production car. After all, the hybrid weighs about a ton, and barely reaches 3.9 meters in length. In a word, the Japanese presented both a budget hybrid hatchback and an almost racing car in one concept.
