Now is the TS050 HYBRID: Toyota's weapon for WEC

After being shown the new machines racing Audi and Porsche, today it is the turn GAZOO TOYOTA Racing has unveiled the new TS050 HYBRID, the vehicle that will compete in the new season of the World (WEC) Endurance Championship.

After a complicated defense of their World Championship titles in 2015, Toyota has set performance targets complex to compete once again return to the front of the competitive WEC, which also involved manufacturers of hybrid LMP1 As Porsche and Audi.

The TS050 HYBRID, the third new vehicle TOYOTA since it began to participate in the WEC in 2012, was presented publicly for the first time this morning at the Paul Ricard circuit in southern France.

It presents a substantial change concept around the engine. A gasoline engine 2.4-liter V6 twin-turbo direct injection, combined with a 8 MJ hybrid system, both developed by the Division of development of automotive units Technical Center Higashi-Fuji.

Thanks to the turbo engine new generation direct injection is best suited to the current legislation, which limits the flow of fuel into the engine, and offers the opportunity for technology transfer and knowledge of the circuit road vehicles set.

As in the TOYOTA passenger, front and rear engine generators recover energy during braking, store it in a lithium-ion battery with high power and release it as drive with maximum efficiency. Thanks to storage supercondesador change the battery, the TS050 HYBRID can climb the hybrid category 8 MJ, higher power.

A new engine concept involves different cooling demands and structure, and a new transmission to handle the substantial increase in torque of the turbo engine. In combination with a new aerodynamic concept, this means that virtually all components TS050 HYBRID chassis has been redesigned by TOYOTA Motorsport GmbH in Cologne (Germany).

Engine components have also played a role in improving the aerodynamic behavior of the TS050 HYBRID; to relocate the motor-generator unit forward, it has achieved a better airflow under the vehicle, which will contribute to the overall performance. The kinematics of the suspension is also revised to optimize tire wear.

The team, which includes several new faces, and has been testing the TS050 HYBRID and trying to maximize its performance and reliability; for it has traveled more than 22,000 km with positive results. The next test comes at Paul Ricard on March 25-26, while the season starts WEC nine races at Silverstone on April 17.

Additionally, if you need some of the automobiles parts, you could purchase at Banggood, which is one of the wholesale platform to provide you low prices. Such as, toyota yaris key fob, toyota yaris remote key, etc.
