A look at the future of cars. Or at least Toyota’s view. Here are five low emission hybrid cars currently in concept.
The Highlander: an electric hybrid engine inside an SUV engineered to meet the EPA’s rating for a Super Ultra Low Emission Vehicle. Estimated to get 600 miles from a single tank.
The FTX truck powered by an V8 hybrid gas-electric with V6 fuel efficiency.
A Giugiaro-designed carbon-fiber Volta that sports a 408-hp Hybrid Synergy Drive (a 3.3-liter V6 with an electric motor for each axle), delivering 435 miles on a 13.7-gallon tank (or 700km for 52lts) and features "drive-by-wire" controls, allowing the steering wheel and pedals to be positioned in front of any one of the three people in the front.
The 4-wheel-drive mid-engine 2+2 CS&S sports car. An electric motor drives the front wheels, while a gas engine and electric motor in combination drive the rear.
The Fine S uses hydrogen fuel cells below the deck for a low center of gravity, and employs independent 4-wheel.
