Toyota has also suggested the idea of synthetic fuels, but our gut feeling is that we’re going to see a racy Toyota Prius with an advanced hybrid system, better suspension, and perhaps an LSD.
Whatever it is, the new concept will be unveiled at the Circuit de la Sarthe over June 10-11. The automaker will also host a themed exhibition with the Japan National Tourism Organization and Mazda, the first Japanese auto manufacturer to win Le Mans in 1991. With that in mind, we would be remiss if we did not note that Mazda and Toyota are rumored to be working on new electric sports cars together.
The new Prius looks awesome, and a coupe version with proper handling chops and fizzy performance would be tantalizing. We’ll let you know if Toyota is of the same mind in a couple of weeks.
