Now, more pieces of the puzzle have fallen into place, courtesy of Top Gear magazine. The FT-Se, set to join the electric vehicle revolution, features a dual-motor setup. One motor powers the front axle, while the other takes control of the rear wheels, creating an all-wheel-drive (AWD) configuration with a rear-biased behavior. These motors source their energy from a “special” third-generation battery pack, which poses an intriguing challenge in terms of cooling, especially when attempting a hot lap around the legendary Nürburgring.
The Nürburgring, often referred to as the “Green Hell,” is one of the longest and most iconic racing tracks globally, with the Nordschleife layout spanning 12.94 miles (20.83 kilometers). The layout used for the 24-hour endurance race extends even further, covering 15.7 miles (25.3 kilometers). Fumihiko Hazama, the chief engineer behind the FT-Se, shared that Toyota already has a target lap time in mind but chooses to keep it a secret for now.
