Featured Cars Introduction
TOYOTA GR010 HYBRID '21
Four consecutive wins at Le Mans for Toyota with this prototype race car
Toyota Gazoo Racing won two World Endurance Championships in a row starting in 2018, and it took three straight overall titles at Le Mans with the LMP1-class TS050 - Hybrid. In 2021, a new LMH category was added that represented the top class, so Toyota developed the GR010 HYBRID to compete in this division.
Because it was all new, the GR010 represented a big change from the TS050, most notably the powertrain. The engine went from a 493.1-hp twin-turbo 2.4-liter V-6 to a 670.6-hp twin-turbo 3.5-liter V-6. Also, the 493.1-hp front- and rear-wheel electric motors were swapped for a 268.2-hp system that powered the front wheels only. This resulted in a 4-wheel drive system where the front wheels were exclusively powered by the electric motors, while rears were driven by the gasoline engine.
Car No. 7 was driven by the team of Mike Conway, Kamui Kobayashi and Jose Maria Lopez, while the No. 8 car was piloted by Sebastien Buemi, Kazuki Nakajima and Brendon Hartley. This season saw Toyota take their sixth Le Mans title (and four in a row) in the new hypercar division.
