Toyota Racing TS040 HYBRID WEC 2014

[Scuderia Paul]

The trio of 2014 FIA World Endurance Championship LMP1-H combatants has been completed with the unveiling of the stunning Toyota Racing TS040 HYBRID.

The TS040 HYBRID packs an enlarged (513BHP) 520PS 3.7lt 90° NA V8 petrol engine, up from 3.4lt, from the TS030-HYBRID from 2013 but it works in conjunction with a new 4WD energy recovery system which adds (473BHP) 480PS to give a total of (986BHP) 1000PS.

I would give anything to try that in GT6!

FULL TECHNICAL INFORMATION | PRESS RELEASE & FULL GALLERY​

Also, the car seen in the on-track presentation is shown with Le Mans spec aero while the studio images are of the regular 6h races spec.

UPDATE We must now get this Manufacturers' and Drivers' World Championships winning car!

Ew. It looks like a squashed bug.

 

[SkilledRacer]

Not a huge fan of the headlights but the more LMP's the better

 

[Azure Flare]

Combined output of damn nearly 1000 HP, hell yes I want this!

The front is fugly as everything.

 

[Scuderia Paul]

Wouldn't it be great to hear this in GT6?

​

Here are a couple of PS3 1080p wallpapers of the TS040 HYBRID.

Doesn't sound like it revs quite as high as the TS030, or maybe it's a flatter sound.

@Scuderia Paul: Thanks for sending me the link! I forgot to use the search button. Anyway, I support this. 👍

 

[PsuPepperoni]

I really hope they choose to implement the Le Mans version if anything. The barn door headlights are too weird.

 

[Amac500]

I don't know man, this thing is just ugly.

 

[Scuderia Paul]

I don't know man, this thing is just ugly.

It has 986bhp though. Would you turn it down because of it not being exactly pretty? If so, you are crazy. Crazy!

I'd take the Audi. Audi!

 

[BrunoI_SRE]

It may be ugly, but you won't see it at over 200mph!

 

[Scuderia Paul]

Here is another onboard of the TS040 HYBRID from the 6h Silverstone. Watch the closing speed against the GTE cars. This new generation of LMP1 cars are monsters.

I saw it racing at silverstone and it was completely dominant so i would really like to see it in the game!!!

 

[GtR0B0]

I'd take the Audi. Audi!

I do think the Audi is prettier but it sounds terrible compared to the toyota:tup:

I think the Porsche is the nicest, followed by the Toyota, as I don't think the Audi's livery helps it.

You were there? Lucky you as I would of loved to have been there. I hope to get to Le Mans but it depends on if a friend decides to go or not.

 

[SnakeOfBacon]

I can't really explain, but I think that the car is hideous, and really dig the styling at the same time.
I guess it just has that Panoz Esperante appeal.

Try to get to le mans by any means I went in 2010 and it was one of the best 24 hours of my life! And ye I went to silverstone

Here is an onboard video of the TS040-HYBRID from the WEC 2014 6h Spa on 3 May.

[SSJGZWarrior]

The Toyota is very good but dominate at Silverstone ummm well not really. Audi did put up a fight and got the lead before they crashed out. Spa however, yea Audi got destroyed.

LE MANS TEST 2014 FLY-BY


PRE-SEASON TEST @ CIRCUIT DE ARAGON

An onboard lap from a 24h du Mans 2014 qualifying session.

​

 

[GBalao888]

!!!!!! I hope this car can reach 400KM/H if it were in GT6.

 

[Scuderia Paul]

Here are a couple of onboards from 24h du Mans this year. Le Mans at night is such an amazing sight.

We have the TS030 in GT6 now, all we need is this, the TS010 and TS020 ugraded and we have a full set!

All of them are going to be displayed at the GWFOS, perhaps some PD photographers will be there to see them

Yep, let's hope so @SVT Cobra GT.

 

[SVT Cobra GT]

I would love the TS010 and TS020 GT-one premium but if you want a full set you need the TS040 too. It is made to a different set of regulations than the TS030, has 986bhp at boost and 4WD.

Just realised that I took your reply completely the wrong way. I did it on purpose. Promise! I am now going to change my reply as if nothing ever happened. Good day to you.

Nice ninja edit.

 

[Scuderia Paul]

Here is a great video of TS040 HYBRID #7 dominating 24h du Mans 2014 before it's heartbreaking electrical failure - Damn FIA-sanctioned parts denying Toyota a sure-fire victory.
