Toyota may be planning to replace its GR86 sports car as early as 2025 with a hybrid version, adapted using the turbocharged three-cylinder engine from the GR Yaris 👀
On the subject of the much-talked-about electric Toyota GR car, Nakajima said reducing the height of traction batteries carried in the floorpan of BEV models will be “the breakthrough” needed to build lower, sleeker and more interesting electric cars.
Better aerodynamics, working in tandem with Toyota’s recently announced solid-state battery technology, would make delivering a 1000km-plus battery touring range seem “not so special”. Currently, Toyota and other BEV manufacturers work to a 150mm battery height, which suits the current BEV crossover and SUV models because there’s enough space to accommodate a bulky battery. However, Toyota is already changing to 120mm units and has a further reduction in its sights. “Our target is 100mm,” said Nakajima, “so that in future we can build a battery Supra, for example.
