This crazy-cool looking car puts up some really incredible numbers. The 3.5-litre V6 makes it go really fast, if you consider 0-60 in four seconds really fast, and most people do... A combined output of some 400 horsepower drives the rear wheels. And the sticker-price on this car would run a very reasonable $30,000. Impressive numbers on any vehicle, let alone a hybrid.
While Toyota puts on an entertaining show with the FT-HS, they may merely be showing us something shiny to keep us from focusing on this lightly-reported on number: 25. That’s the approximate fuel economy that the FT-HS is getting. That’s certainly better than what most gas engine high-performance sports cars are getting now, but it’s a far cry from “environmentally sound.”
