Yes, it is young, as GRMN Sports Hybrid Concept has just been unveiled at the Tokyo Auto Salon. And yes, it is very restless, as the Japanese Speedy Gonzales is motivated by almost 400HP.

GRMN stands for Gazoo Racing Master of Nurburgring. The two-seat, AWD hybrid is based on the outgoing MR2 platform. Under the skin,  there is a mid-mounted 3.3-liter V6 that drives the rear wheels and which is partnered with Toyota’s THSII hybrid system, that propels the fronts. Drivers can optate for the EV mode in the city and enjoy this 1500kg beauty reach 60mph in just 4.5 seconds.

Toyota Motors Co. say this Honda CR-Z’s rival will hopefully go on sale starting 2011 and that it intends to be world’s first sports hybrid car and as we know Toyota staff, it’s very likely they stay true to their promise.
