Toyota Yaris with 400hp? Meet the Hybrid-R

Putting the ‘super’ in supermini, this is the TOYOTA Yaris Hybrid-R that comes packing 420 horsepower. 300 of those have been squeezed from a 1.6-liter engine with the remaining 120 coming from a pair of electric motors. The technology behind this system is derived from the Toyota Hybrid Racing team’s TS030 that finished in second and fourth spot at this year’s 24 Hours of Le Mans. The Yaris Hybrid-R also boasts a third electric motor, located between the engine and six-speed sequential transmission.
