A nice looking car. Toyota need something fast since they are making headway in F1 and the Supra has gone.

Not bad. Reminds me of some of those prototype sleek cars from the late '80s which never went into production.

Looks outstanding, but a little confused by the 250kph top speed? Why the lack of top end speed - and why not put in a 4 ltr V8 to appeal to the American market?

My guess is that Toyota is trying to capitalise on the hybrid phenominum that is running through the USA at the moment. The name Volta suggests to me that the car relys a lot on an electric engine. Great looking car.... 250 kph or 150mph is the normal limit on German cars bar Porsche, so they are also trying to appeal to the Europeans I guess.
