Excitement and expectations are abound at the upcoming 2013 Frankfurt Motor Show next month, as the Toyota Hybrid-R Concept will be unveiled. No detail whatsoever has been released, other than this picture of a new Hybrid-R logo.
The first of three teasers, the logo is a new derivation of Toyota’s familiar blue-and-silver Hybrid Synergy Drive symbol. A prominent ‘R’ replaces the stylised ‘S’, and its subtle chequered flag graphic draws connections to racing.
Touted as ‘exciting’ and ‘radical’, the new concept will “bring Toyota Hybrid System-Racing technology to the road (and track),” according to the brief press statement. The video above shows the tech as featured on Toyota’s Le Mans racer, the TS030 Hybrid.
Could this be a preview of the much-rumoured Toyota Supra replacement? We’ll know more in the coming days as more teasers are released, so stay tuned. Meanwhile, take a look back at the history of the Supra here. Surely that’ll whet your appetite for what lies ahead.

Unlike a large majority of the motor heads I’am with the notion of a hybrid-Ize Supra as long the performance is worthy if the Supra nameplate. I mean if Porsche, Ferrari and McLaren can attempt it, I’am sure Toyota with over a decade In the hybrid industry can pull something off.
I dont think so. Maybe this hv to do with the yundong shuangqing II concept from china motorshow? Hmmm… A bit late toyota. But better late than never!
i’m excited about it too, i’m all in for a hybrid or NA fast cars. i’m not a big fan of turbos whether it’s big or small turbos, got to hate turbo lags.
Wow, looks promising
OMG YESSSS LET IT BE SUPRA!!!
