I did not know that this existed.

So, I was looking for where I got my !!!error: Indecipherable SUB-paragraph formatting!!! from, when I stumbled on !!!error: Indecipherable SUB-paragraph formatting!!! on Toyota Europe’s blog. Apparently, a group of kids (with an organization, !!!error: Indecipherable SUB-paragraph formatting!!! , that gets kids into this kind of thing) actually managed to build a 2/3 scale TS050, using a Toyota COMS powertrain (think something like the Renault Twizy, it’s about 5 kW or about 6.5 hp peak) for electric, and a Yaris 1.0 liter engine for gasoline propulsion.

I would hoon the shit out of that.

I mean, yes, Audi’s exit from the WEC hurts, but do we really need LMP4? j/k

But really, though, I’d like to buy 5 or 6 or 18 of these.

I dunno, LMP3 still has a 420 hp 5.0 V8. (LMP2 having a 600 hp 4.2 V8, LMP1-H having ~500 hp ICE and ~400-500 hp hybrid system (depending on track.)

By that logic, this would be about LMP5 or LMP6.
