Toyota City, Japan, October 6, 2017―Toyota Motor Corporation (Toyota) is set to unveil the GR HV SPORTS concept car at its worldwide premiere at the 45th Tokyo Motor Show 2017, taking place from October 25 through November 5 at Tokyo Big Sight.
>The GR HV SPORTS concept represents a new way to enjoy cars by integrating the thrill of a sports car with the environmental friendliness of an eco-car. who is tesla for 200 alex
>The design is reminiscent of TOYOTA GAZOO Racing's TS050 Hybrid racing car that competes in the World Endurance Championship (WEC). A CANCELLED GROUP S PROTOTYPE WHICH WAS SET TO BE TOYOTA'S EQUIVALENT OF THE DELTA S4 KNOWN AS THE MR2 222D
>Features a targa top that was also used for Toyota's legendary convertible sports cars, the Toyota Sports 800 (a.k.a. Yotahachi) and the Supra just because it can
>Powered by THS-R (Toyota Hybrid System-Racing) that is infused with hybrid technology refined by the TS050 Hybrid but in reality is a completely different system
>While completely embodying functionality as a genuine sports car, the GR HV SPORTS concept features LED headlights, aluminum wheels, and a rear diffuser similar to the TS050 Hybrid MR2 222D prototype. The design evokes - Toyota's bond with motor sports.
>The matte black body color expresses power and aggressiveness and totally does not represent a further connection to the reimagination of the aforementioned rally car.

Pictures of the inside please. I want to laugh at the missile firing button in the 'shifter' that does nothing because it's a fucking automatic with huge buttons on the dash designed for 5 year olds.

That is a barely edited render of an 86 with a targa top and updated headlights.

you don't get a car more environmentally friendly than a very light one with a relatively simple engine.
>who is tesla for 200 alex
An overpriced toy for nerds that might be quick 0-60 but is a tire chewing dog in the corners.
>Features a targa top
So what?
>Toyota Hybrid System-Racing
Making the driving experience even less pure
>While completely embodying functionality as a genuine sports car
This sentence means absolutely nothing. Any car has "sports car functionality" if you upgrade the brakes, and the stock brakes on this car will not stand racing use
>the GR HV SPORTS concept features LED headlights
so fucking what?
>aluminum wheels
literally every major car manufacturer sells alloys
>and a rear diffuser
Which doesn't do anything in a relatively heavy roadgoing car except perhaps clean up the flow separation some, but it won't make it stick to the ground.

So it is trying to appear as a 6-speed manual? But they fucking forgot reverse gear.

Cool, so it's like a DCT except your response time is SLOWER from having to take your hand off the wheel, thus making it pointless!

Sadly, there's probably a legitimate marketing reason for it. There are 3 common excuses I see for so called "car enthusiasts" getting a car with an automatic transmission
>the auto will shift faster and therefore ==go faster== than a stick shift!
Only true for paddle-shifter DCTs made in the last 5-10 years and purpose-built aftermarket dog boxes made for drag racing, otherwise this has been proven time and time again to be bullshit. Even if this were true, it proves that they only care about showing off how fast/cool their car is instead of getting it for the actual driving experience.
>I'm too scared to learn clutch so I'm just gonna get this auto car with a "manual mode"
In my experience, the auto cars that let you change gears don't hold a candle to a proper stickshift. Just do what I did and practice a bit in the parking lot where you bought it before driving it home and practicing for about an hour in an empty parking lot (preferably one with a hill). You'll probably stall it a few times during your first couple weeks of owning it even after that practice (ESPECIALLY on steep hills) but stalling the engine is no big deal because it only takes a few seconds to start it back up and put her in gear. After a month or two you'll hardly ever stall her.
>I don't want one because I live in a big city with a lot of stop-and-go traffic
The only valid excuse IMHO other than being disabled. Constant traffic lights aren't that bad but rush hour traffic is an absolute killer for you mentally when you are in a car with a clutch pedal. I sometimes see people suggest you get a second "fun" car with a proper manual when you're not commuting but chances are good that if you live somewhere that the traffic gets that bad then you don't really have the space/money for another car anyways.
tl;dr I blame the market shift on more people moving into populated cities with traffic congestion issues and on my/future generations being too pussy shit to take on anything with a learning curve that doesn't hold your hand the whole way through.

>is it trying to appear as a 6-spped manual?
It, apparently, gives you the option of changing between automatic and full manual. How they intend to make it work I have no idea it's not going to work and it'll be a glorified automatic sports shifter that denies changes it doesn't like.

There is only one way I can see this being "feasible". The transmission is an automatic with a clutch instead of a torque converter. Using the buttons on the dash? then there's your regular automatic as the clutch is actuated by the car. Want a manual? Press the button to FIRE ZE MISSLES override the computer, and have 100% control of the transmission.
I'm assuming there's going to be a third pedal for this situation.

Out of all the pics I've seen so far, I can only find two pedals. I'm happy to be proven wrong.
