Japanese automaker Toyota Motors is developing a new hybrid version of its GT86 sports car.
This new car will mark the third version for the company after the Coupe and the Convertible models.
GT86 Hybrid is expected to feature a new powertrain with approximately 250HP.
Other features of the new version include 6-speed manual transmission and optional six-speed automatic transmission.
Toyota Motors drivetrain engineering senior manager Koei Saga said that the development work is quite advanced now, so if the green light is given, the company is ready to do it.
"We are quite prepared because we do have a hybrid system that we can use for that kind of vehicle, utilizing the production passenger car hybrid system, and we also have the pure race-oriented hybrid system," Saga added.
"So I think it won't be very far in the future that the green light will come."
