This car is Toyota trying to the World Endurance Championship for the second time in a row to win.

In Europe, remember we are usually only those who have the 24 hours of Le Mans wins, and that is already years in a row, Audi with their R18. But that race is only part of a season, where last year Toyota manufacturers and rijderstitel to her name managed to convert, with drivers Anthony Davidson and Sébastien Buemi.

The aerodynamics are adjusted, there are even two different bodies has been developed: one for the Le Mans race (high speeds) and one for the slightly slower circuits. Also, the nose adapted and there is a redesigned suspension that should ensure that the tyres less hard wear.
