Everything about The Toyota Alessandro Volta totally explained
The
Toyota Alessandro Volta is a
concept car developed in the collaboration of the
Japanese manufacturer
Toyota and the
Italian design company
Italdesign Giugiaro. The concept vehicle named after
Alessandro Volta, the Italian
physicist who invented the
battery, was officially unveiled at the 2004
Geneva Motor Show and it's a study of a
hybrid-powered sports car.
The car was built on a
carbon fiber chassis and features a
four wheel drive hybrid powertrain of the
Lexus RX 400h which combines a 3.3-litre
V6 gasoline engine with two electric engines. The gasoline engine is fitted behind the rear axle and there are additional two electrically powered engines, one on each axle. The combination develops a maximum output of 300 kW (408 bhp), which enables the car to accelerate from 0 to 100 km/h (0 to 62 mph) in 4.03 seconds and reach the top speed of 250 km/h (155 mph). The car seats three people abreast and features
drive-by-wire controls.
The concept never materialized as a production car due to high costs involved.
