Toyota GRMN Sports Hybrid concept

Wed, 22 Jun 2011

Toyota is set to unveil its GRMN Sports Hybrid Concept II at the forth-coming Nürburgring 24-hour endurance race taking place this weekend.

GRMN is an abbreviation of 'GAZOO Racing tuned by MN'. Gazoo being the Japanese motorsport specialist that has a loose affinity to Toyota following a collaboration on the iQ city car, whilst MN makes reference to ‘Meister of Nürburgring' or Hiromu Naruse; the Toyota test driver tragically killed behind the wheel of a Lexus LFA last year.

The car is an evolution of the original GRMN first shown at the 2010 Tokyo Auto Salon. Its previous incarnation was little more than a re-worked 3rd generation MR2. The GRMN II, however, features bespoke bodywork and a thoroughly reworked mid mounted hybrid power plant.
