The 2013 motorsports racing season is drawing closer and as such, we've seen numerous race teams from different series unveiling their respective race cars.

Toyota->ke88 Racing is jumping on that trend with the unveiling of the modified TS030 Hybrid car, the same racer that Toyota will be fielding in the Le Mans 24 Hours and the FIA World Endurance Championship (WEC) this season.

The 2013 TS030 Hybrid race car carries a number of modifications from the 2012 model, particularly the revised version of the hybrid system first used in last year's race car. With new regulations set to be enforced in 2014, Toyota Racing went to work early in fine-tuning the overall racing characteristics of the RS030, particularly the engine, which for the 2013 model will feature a 3.4-liter, normally aspirated V-8 engine that produces 530 horsepower and the matching super capacitor-based system that delivers 300 horsepower of boost to the car.

Needless to say, a lot is riding on Toyota Racing to deliver results this year. They've got the car that can get it done and it's only a matter of time before the team can justify the preparations they've done in the off-season with actual race wins.
