The hybrid aspect could be anything from mild, which adds an extra 48V small battery and maybe a bigger starter motor, so negligible weight gain.
Or a regular gas hybrid adds the weight of one or more accessory electric motors and some battery capacity greater than mild, plus inverter and additional plumbing, but an integrated electric drive can still be "relatively" light, depending on power.
Or, a plug-in hybrid which usually adds electric propulsion of greater power to drive the vehicle fully electric, as well as battery capacity sufficient for up to an average daily commute distance while fully electric.
I'd go with option 1 mild hybrid, since it adds minimal weight and will therefore retain the characteristic dynamics of the vehicle and will get an already amazing engine with a high power to weight ratio to operate in the most fuel efficient way possible for an average daily commuter.
I'd like to see it happen but as always it depends on the size of the D...Demand!
In some ways, it could be a better example of a Japanese 2 seater sports car than the current V6 Supra. People were complaining it was mostly BMW, so let's make a GR Corolla hybrid powered 86 that ticks ALL the boxes.
Probably similar sentiments are shared by tech staff that work on mundane projects daily.
Voila!
