Toyota's successor to the Supra!
http://www.automobilemag.com/auto_sh...s_toyotavolta/
Sorry if this a repost; I haven't been on in awhile. The steering wheel and pedals move to the center, right, or left for whatever position you want. It gets 400+ miles on a 13 gallon tank; about 27 miles per gallon. All carbon fiber, mid-engine with 2 electrical motors on each axle, no drivetrain but all wheel drive so three abreast seating can happen. The tire treads have the Toyota emblem in them. 2800 pounds and 400+ hp 0-60 @ 4 seconds with a normally aspirated v-6. Holyfuckshitdamnhellpiss!!!!!! I hope it makes it to production....may be going for 100 grand.

point taken, i guess when i pictured the electric motor, I envisioned the motor taking away from the engines performance potential.
