2008 Hybrid Celica CS+S Leaves Other Eco Cars in the Dust


Digg this TrendStumble this TrendShare this TrendEmailthis TrendEmbed This TrendShare This Trend



The Toyota Celica is leaving us in 2006… But in 2008, it returns as an AWD hybrid car.

From PistonHeads
According to a report in this week’s Autocar, the Japanese car giant, which recently overtook GM as the world’s biggest carmaker, is developing a mid-engined, 4WD hybrid car with four seats to replace both the MR2 and Celica. Both cars are nearing the end of their lives and will be withdrawn by mid-2006.

It could be called a Celica—that’s yet to be determined—and it will draw inspiration from the CS+S concept shown in Tokyo in 2003—see pic. However, it leaves Toyota without a high-performance motor for the time being.

A radical departure for a sports car, the machine could house a power train similar to that of the Toyota Yaris T-Sport, using a 105bhp petrol engine, as does the Prius hybrid. It’ll rev to 7,000rpm though, which, since the engine’s a VVT-i, suggests that the power will mostly be found at the top end of the rev range.  (PistonHeads)
