By introducing the GR HV Sport Concept today, Toyota gives us a taste of what will be waiting for us at the next auto Show in Tokyo.

As you’ve no doubt noticed, it is fitted with a roof-type targa, which reminds us of the golden years of the
Supra. The more nostalgic among us will be more than served.

Under the hood, we find a combination of gasoline engine and electric. More details on this hybrid drive will be given out at his official unveiling.

The GR HV Sport Concept is equipped with a automatic transmission.

In fact, Toyota allows you to select your own reports without having to engage the help of a pedal. Roughly speaking, the usual paddles on the steering wheel have been swapped out for a lever.

This conceptual approach has LED headlights, aluminium wheels and a rear diffuser inspired by the race car TS050 Hybrid.

In its press release, Toyota makes no mention of the 86, formerly known as the Scion FR-S. Gold, this GR HV Sport Concept appears to be a straight derivative of the latter.
