Modern engineering reaches the peak cool factor whenever it resembles anything remotely close to fiction, science or otherwise. As in the case of the when a Toyota TS030 switches from an electric to combustion engine.
In the video above, you’ll be able to experience just that – a Toyota TS030 Hybrid switching over from its electric engine to its combustion engine. The sound? Well, lets just say the Le Mans prototype sits somewhere between the Nolan-verse Batmobile and a Star Wars pod racer. At least in the eyes/ears of this particular dork who knows next to nothing about the finer working mechanisms of a car.
For those of you more knowledgeable in the craft of cars and all things motor-related, and who will definitely appreciate a lengthier demonstration, the video below features the on-board footage, showcasing the driver’s view of the track run. Shit starts to get verifiable insane around the 1:15 timestamp.
Check it out.
