The look might have to grow on some folks but definitely a step in the right direction. Thanks for sharing VH! :happy0180:
The first thing I thought was the exposed headlights and how much wind resistance that would factor in.

I think that figure is grossly overestimated. The Concept I, which uses the the older 3.3L V6 driving the rear but with a more powerful electric motor driving the front, pumping out 400hp together, weighed 2,860lbs (1,297kg).
The Concept II with the newer 3.5L V6 and less powerful electric motor should weigh less than that. Last edited by ydooby; 06-22-2011 at 04:26 PM. |

Notice the engine is 2GR-FXE. Atkinson cycle...on a performance vehicle? Really?... That said 245hp from an Atkinson cycle 3.5L isn't too bad, seeing how the regular 2GR doesn't make much more than that. I don't really understand the motive though. If they really want part load efficiency and performance, they need Valvematic on a V6. Tuning that sort of engine would make more sense.
And @RRnold yea the lights seem pretty bad for aerodynamics. I somehow feel like this design is just for show, it doesn't seem like a serious performance car to me. They could do much better than this. The styling is cool though, just cover the lights, make it hardtop or something. |
