Spark Models – 1/64 Scale – #Y100 Toyota TS030 Hybrid N.8 2nd Le Mans 2013 Scale Model Replica

The Toyota TS030 Hybrid was a Le Mans Prototype 1 (LMP1) sports car built by Toyota Motorsport GmbH and used by the manufacturer in the FIA World Endurance Championship in 2012 and 2013. It was Toyota’s first all new prototype since the GT-One last competed in 1999, and was the first petrol-hybrid engine car to participate in the World Endurance Championship. Work on designing the car began in late 2010 when early chassis designs were presented to Toyota Motorsport. The project was stopped briefly after the 2011 Tōhoku earthquake and tsunami, but the car’s building was approved six months later. The TS030 Hybrid featured a Kinetic Energy Recovery System (KERS) regenerative braking device to charge a super capacitor. Its engine, a naturally aspirated petrol 3.4-litre (210 cu in) V8 power unit, was mounted at a 90 degree angle, produced 530 horsepower (400 kW; 540 PS), and was based on Toyota’s Super GT project.
