Toyota brings electric technology to Pikes Peak
11 Jun 2012|1,849 views
Following last year's success at the Nürburgring Nordschleife, where it set the fastest lap record for an EV (Electric Vehicle), Toyota is bringing its highly-acclaimed electric racing technology to North America. It will set to contend in one of the most challenging racing event - the Pikes Peak International Hill Climb.
The team at Toyota has honed the mechanics of their EV racer, making it more durable and more powerful than that raced at the Green Hell. From the source, the TMG (Toyota Motorsports GmbH) EV P002 car claims to be capable of a top speed of 240km/h in Pikes Peak configuration.
Ludwig Zeller, General Manager Electric & Electronics: “Pikes Peak is a great showcase for TMG’s electric powertrain technology. We already proved at the Nürburgring that TMG is leading the way in developing such powertrains for motorsport and this is another sign of our commitment to this technology. TMG wants to be increasingly involved in electric motorsport and we believe our powertrain technology is an industry-leading combination of performance, durability and packaging. Electric powertrain technology in motorsport is still in its development phase but through projects like this one, TMG is laying the foundations for the future of high-performance and motorsport cars.”
