The new TS040 hybrid racer sure looks like a fast machine. The TS040 uses several systems to increase fuel economy including a braking system that harvests deceleration energy to use in acceleration. Toyota hopes its competitors will see a lot of this rear-end while leading the way around the track.

Toyota has unveiled a new hybrid race car that delivers an impressive 1000 HP, making it a serious contender in endurance racing. This machine is designed with one goal in mind: to win. But the big question remains—**can it take down the Audi team?**
For years, Audi has dominated the 24 Hours of Le Mans, winning 11 out of the last 13 races. Toyota’s latest creation, the TS040 Hybrid, is their most ambitious attempt yet to break Audi's stronghold. The car is built to meet the stringent regulations of the 2014 FIA World Endurance Championship, which require a 25% improvement in fuel efficiency.
Fuel economy is now a critical factor in endurance racing. This year, officials will monitor fuel usage over a three-lap average, and teams exceeding limits will face penalties. To meet these demands, Toyota has incorporated advanced hybrid technology into the TS040.
The car features motor-generators that work alongside traditional brakes to capture energy during deceleration, which is then stored in a NISSHINBO super-capacitor for use during acceleration. Additionally, the TS040 is slightly narrower than its predecessor, with a 10 cm reduction in width and 5 cm narrower tires, presenting both challenges and opportunities for the engineering team.
Toyota’s engineers have refined the car’s setup, integrating a 3.7-liter V-8 engine producing 520 HP, paired with a hybrid system that adds another 480 HP. The car has already undergone 18,000 km of testing at Paul Ricard, and it made its debut at the Six Hours of Silverstone on April 20, 2014.
This development isn’t just about racing—it also impacts consumer vehicles. Technologies tested on the track often find their way into production cars. For instance, future models from Toyota and BMW may incorporate Le Mans innovations.
What do you think of this new hybrid race car? Would you want to take it for a few laps around the track?
