Toyota's
carbon fiber hybrid sports car, the FT-HS
Wednesday,
December 27, 2006
So,
you've heard about the FT-HS
Hybrid Sports Concept that is
supposed to debut at the
Detroit Auto Show. A 0-60 mile
per hour in 4 second hybrid
sports car with 400 hp can
claim the attention of both
many hybrid fans, as well as
sports car fans. What really
has me interested about this
vehicle, however, is the use
of carbon fiber. With its
ability to cut the weight of
many automobiles in half, but
also making them stronger,
carbon fiber holds great
potential. Carbon fiber
plug-in hybrid vehicles, for
example, could essentially end
the need for liquid fuel for
most in the U.S., enabling the
far majority of drivers to
drive purely powered by
electricity. Of course, you'd
still be able to fill up with
liquid fuel when needed.
Anyway, for some cool pictures
of the FT hybrid, check out Winding
Road.
