Whoever would have thought the Prius would one day lead Toyota to the 24 Hours of Le Mans to challenge for victory?

Yes, the Japanese automaker’s expertise in gasoline-electric propulsion were on display this past June when it arrived at the world famous race track to battle Audi for endurance racing supremacy. As the narrator explains, “At Le Mans, hybrid technology has taken over.”

Now Toyota has released a short film entitled “The Ultimate Endurance Race,” documenting the experience of the team and drivers.

With victory remaining just outside the team’s grasp this past year, there’s a promise from Toyota to be back in 2014.

Watch the complete six minute short film below.
