Should we be surprised Toyota->ke88 is considering a hybrid version for their latest GT 86 sports car? No, we think not! In an interview with TopGear, GT68's chief engineer Tetsuya Tada confirmed that Toyota is indeed considering a more powerful version for the GT86->ke4085 - a model that could feature a hybrid powertrain.

And if you thought he was talking about the usual power-train seen in the Prius you were wrong. He said that the hybrid GT 86 will combine the usual 2.0-liter naturally-aspirated flat-four engine with a KERS system that will recover energy during braking. This system will help the car delivering an impressive 300 HP and will significantly improve the performance numbers.

However, Tetsuya Tada said a final decision will be made in the upcoming future, so stay tuned for more details.
