Toyota Yaris Hybrid R Video, First Look
Can a Yaris be fast? Can a Yaris be fun? Toyota seems to think it can, and they’re making a compelling argument with the debut of the Yaris Hybrid R Concept this week at the F rankfurt Motor Show.
Combining two 60 hp electric motors and a turbocharged 4-cylinder engine, there’s 420 hp on tap. Using a new type of hybrid technology and some expertise borrowed from its Le Mans race cars, this concept car lives up to its R badge.

Who's the euro-douche that just walks up and poses in the video? What an asshole.
Someone cannot do math... 60+60=120hp. Where did 420 come from?
