Every Toyota loyalist and every hand behind the company is looking forward to 2008. Why? Because that is the slated release for the much-awaited Toyota hybrid sports car dubbed the Volta. Toyota has always been known to set itself apart from all other car manufacturers, releasing some of the most outrageous designs that seem to grow onto society once the cars establish themselves as bestsellers.
Japan Goes Italian The new concept hybrid sports car from Toyota will definitely be a head turner. It seems an elite group of designers chosen by Toyota within their ranks have chosen to give the first hybrid sports car a little Italian flair. Pictures of the concept car have emerged from the company itself and the first thing that may come to mind is the Lamborghini Diablo; only the Volta is eco-friendly. Toyota is out to show everyone that the hybrid technology can also be applied on high-performance auto like the Toyota Volta. After all, it is rumored to go from 0-60 in 4 seconds and has a top speed of 155 mph; not as fast as the Diablo or any Ferrari but the important thing is how much gas this vehicle doesn't use. The Name Game The Toyota hybrid sports car also pays homage to Alessandro Volta, the man who invented the electric battery in 1800; very convenient and quite an honor considering that this vehicle does run on a type of battery. The Volta runs a V6 engine and there's an electric motor on each axle. Toyota Volta motor will be used to run several things like the computer responsible for the movement of the wheels, activation of brakes, etc. This is basically something known as drive by wire, a technology that is fitted into modern fighter jets, so you can imagine how much time in design was spent on this near-future release. This technology also allows for an awkward feature that can have the passengers reposition the steering wheel and pedals in front of them. Economy Toyota aims to have the Volta out and running by year 2008 - two centuries after the invention of the battery for which the car is named after. It is expected to have a tank that holds only 13.7 gallons that will allow it to go 435 miles when filled up. Plus, if 408 horsepower isn't enough, you will just have to weight for later versions of the Volta because this is the top speed estimated for the initial release. Toyota France expects to release this to the European market in 2008. However, Germany might be happy to know that the car will be for sale there by December of 2007. Experts are speculating that prices for the Toyota hybrid sports car will range from $72,000 to $165,000 in the US market once it hits North American shores. Whether or not the market is ready for this sports car, Toyota itself is ready to prove that hybrid technology does belong in the automobile industry and will suit any purpose and application.
