Toyota planning hybrid comeback to Le Mans

After last year Toyota won the Tokachi 24 race with its Supra Hybrid, now the Japanese manufacturer is planning a return in the famous Le Mans 24h endurance race, with a hybrid race car.

According to Toyota’s Kazuo Okamoto, Member of the Board since 2005, the manufacturer’s goal is to step higher into the endurance races and to introduce hybrid systems in sports cars, which will make them lighter and more efficient.
