Toyota unveils a hydrogen race car concept built for Le Mans 24 Hours
Modern electric vehicles aren't very practical for endurance races due to the long charging times, but Toyota may have an alternative. Its Gazoo Racing unit has unveiled a GR H2 Racing Concept that's designed to compete in the Le Mans 24 Hours race's new hydrogen car category. The automaker isn't divulging specs, but the appeal is clear: this is an emissions-free car that can spend more time racing and less time topping up.
Toyota doesn't say if or when a race-ready GR H2 will hit the track. The machine is built for"future competition," the brand says. Don't be surprised if Toyota refines the concept before bringing it to a Le Mans race. The company is no stranger to low- and zero-emissions motorsports. The brand has been racing a hydrogen engine Corolla in Japan's Super Taikyu Series since 2021, and its GR010 hybrid hypercar took the top two overall podium spots at last year's Le Mans. A purpose-built hydrogen car like the GR H2 is really an extension of the company's strategy.after years of resisting the segment in favor of hybrids and hydrogen cars.
