what's up everybody this is Antoine Goodwin on the floor again at the 2013 Frankfurt Motor Show and today we're taking a look at the Toyota Yaris hybrid our concept and I know what you're thinking when you see Yaris and you see the letter R that you're just talking about maybe a body kit and suspension in about 113 horsepower but in this case the Yaris hybrid R is actually powered by a 1.6 liter version of Toyotas racing engine that Hybrid Synergy Drive system is actually going to be worth 300 horsepower to the front wheels but that's not all they're also two electric motors worth 16 horsepower apiece on each rear wheel bringing the total system power to 420 horsepower that's a lot of power you've also got the consummate suspension upgrades and body styling that kind of looks like a Toyota Yaris a - pfft you got that sort of a trapezoidal grille that was very forward light now I can't even imagine it with 420 horsepower in a Toyota Yaris with all-wheel drive even feels like because there's really no precedent for this in Toyotas lineup it's nothing like it they've never built moving lights before and I'll probably never get an opportunity to experience it so they'll probably only make this one the whole purpose of this Yaris hybrid our concept is to attract attention to the more standard eco friendly Toyota Yaris that they get in the world market now we don't get that car in North America just yet but hey keep your eyes peeled so we've got a really big hybrid push coming up and anything could happen we'll have an answer on goodwin on the floor of the 2013 Frankfurt Auto Show taking a look at the Toyota Yaris hybrid our concept it's crazy you
