Toyota AE86 BEV and Hydrogen Restomod Concept EVs – Driving and Making of | Tokyo Auto Salon 2023

Toyota AE86 H2 Concept (hydrogen-engine vehicle) By utilizing the knowledge acquired by "making ever-better motorsports-bred cars" as put into practice by TGR and ROOKIE Racing in Japan's Super Taikyu Series, TGR has developed a vehicle that can be driven while enjoying the internal combustion engine's appeal points of sound and vibration. For this, two Toyota Mirai fuel cell electric vehicle high-pressure hydrogen storage tanks are mounted in the rear, and other modifications, including fuel injectors, fuel pipes, and spark plugs, have been kept to the minimum. Toyota AE86 BEV Concept (battery electric vehicle) Utilizing the electrification technologies cultivated by Lexus, the AE86's body, light weight, and front-rear weight balance were maintained as much as possible, while the robust driving force characteristic of a battery electric vehicle (BEV) and a manual transmission were adopted to develop a vehicle that offers even greater driving pleasure than the original. The vehicle also makes maximum use of the electrification technology of existing commercially sold vehicles, employing a Tundra HEV electric motor, a Prius PHEV battery, and others. ___ Video Timeline 0:00 – Toyota AE86 BEV Driving 1:11 – Toyota AE86 Hydrogen Driving 1:57 – Group Driving & Exterior 3:16 – Toyota AE86 BEV Restomod Highlights 3:46 – Toyota AE86 Hydrogen Restomod Highlights
