Toyota beats electrical vehicle record

[ukrkoz]

Sorry, your Prius (and TCH) probably can’t do this.
Toyota has set a new lap record for electric cars at the Nurburgring Nordschleife race track in Germany with a time of 7:48, beating the previous mark of 9:01 second set earlier this year. The challenging 13-mile long road course is considered the benchmark for automotive performance.
The specially designed [COLOR=blue !important][COLOR=blue !important]vehicle[/color][/color] resembles a prototype race car and was engineered by Toyota’s motorsports division (TMG) to showcase its electric motor technology. With two motors generating a total output of 375 hp the TMG EV P001 has a top speed of 162 mph.

Here's the thing. Jaguar CX75 hybrid has four 196 hp motor wheels.
2012 TCH is said to have new 196 hp MG2.
This record vehicle has 2 motor wheels, 375 hp devided by 2=197 hp each.

is it too much of a coincidence, or Toyota is headed into powerful motor wheels hybrid design?

BTW, 375 hp divided by 2 = 187.5 hp.
