Toyota is coming out with a hybrid car based on the new Corona chassis.
It has a 1.5 liter gasoline engine that operates at less than 4000 rpm
at low compression and with very short stroke, so its hyper efficient.
the engine is linked to a power sharing transmission with an electric
motor and generator that has a small battery pack. Toyota says that this
vehicle gets double the normal milage as the standard Corona vehicle
while keeping the range of a gas car as well as good acceleration and
cruise capabilities.
