(ELECTRIC MOTOR SWAP) For Drifting??
EX FR-S Electric Motor Swap
Yaris Hybrid-R concept with 414 hp
"In place of a traditional hybrid battery, the Yaris Hybrid-R uses a supercapacitor — which can't store as much energy as a regular battery, but can unleash its power far faster. According to Toyota, in regular mode the supercapacitor only provides about half the maximum power to the two rear motors, but on track can provide a five-second burst of full energy."
"Toyota's engineers swapped into the engine bay a 1.6-liter turbo four-cylinder. On the back end, they hooked each rear wheel to it's own 60-hp electric motor, and put a third electric motor between the six-speed gearbox and the engine — allowing it to act as an advanced kind of traction control that shifts power rearward when the front tires can't take any more. At peak, the system churns out 414 hp."
