Toyota Races In Super Taikyu Series With Hydrogen-Powered Corolla And Carbon-Neutral Fueled GR86 | Carscoops carscoops
. Highlighting the importance of engineering development in motorsports, Toyota said that between May and November 2021, the engine performance was improved “to levels comparable to gasoline engines”. Power output was increased by 24 percent and torque by 33 percent, although we don’t have the actual figures.Despite the improvements, Toyota admits that cruising range and refueling time are still “major issues” and set the goal of addressing them throughout the 2022 season.
This year marks the debut of the Toyota GR86 CNF Concept with the colors of ROOKIE Racing, which is using a carbon-neutral fuel as a sister model to thealso competing in the ST-Q class. Under the bonnet, there is a turbocharged 1.4-liter engine developed from the GR Yaris’ 1.6-liter unit, with modifications in order to run in a new type of carbon-neutral fuel.
While there are still carbon dioxide emissions produced during combustion, those are offset by the carbon dioxide used in the fuel mix, resulting in “plus/minus zero emissions”. The good thing about the carbon-neutral fuel is that it is compatible with the existing infrastructure and vehicle technology serving as a potential alternative to electrification.
Toyota and Subaru will use motorsports to discover issues, make improvements and “explore the possibility of future practical applications” for the carbon-neutral fuel. They will also use the expertise gained in the evolution of the road-going Toyota GR86 and Subaru BRZ.
