February 17, 2023Rumors have been circulating about Toyota's development of a mid-engined hybrid sports car, and new reports suggest that the project might be a collaboration with Suzuki and Daihatsu.
According to Japanese media, the three automakers are working together to produce a lightweight, two-seater sports car that will feature a mid-mounted engine and a hybrid powertrain.
