1989 Mr2 Mk1.5-The only one like it in the whole world:  This was a complete restoration from top to bottom.  I have owned this car for over 12 years.  It has been transformed into a weekend/track warrior.  A majority of the modification were completed over last winter.  The car has not been driven on the track since and only a few times on the street.  My bad back forces the sale.  All of the modification were completed by Yoshio Kishimoto (japanese-auto.com) a factory trained toyota master mechanic.  This is not chop shop rebuild.  It was completed with taste and looks like it just came out of the factory.  The following mods were completed on the car:

1.  Body:  New paint with crystal glass protection top coat, new fender flares, all windows and interior were removed during the process, and new carbon fibre rear wing.

2.  Interior:  New sparco seats, new Yoshio roll bar, new OMP race quick release steering wheel,  custom pedals, trd short shifter with que ball shift knob, 5 point race harness, and blitz boost controller.

3.  Drivetrain:  New jdm 3sgte turbo engine, custom intake, custom intercooler using the supercharger intake to keep a stock look, new bully clutch, new Kaaz 2 way limited slip, new custom drive shafts, berk down pipe, turbo blanket, New Supra tenzo injectors and fuel pump, new 4 core rad with new piping, New AMR custom sprung coilover suspension system, new suspension techniques front/rear swaybars, new custom exhaust with 4" stainless steel muffler, new willwood/Hawk larger brakes with bias valve, and new 15x8.25 XXR wheels with New Toyo 888, 205/50/15 fronts and 235/50/15 rears.

4. Data:  Dyno rwhp @ 285 with 18lbs of boost.

This is a unique one and only build that is an amazing driving experience.  Over $50,000.00 has gone into this build.  It is sitting in my warehouse waiting for it's proud new owner to drive her away.

Toyota sold record 1.52 million hybrids in 2017

Fri, Feb 2 2018

Toyota has been selling electrified cars for more than two decades now, launching the Prius hybrid in Japan in 1997. Back in the fall of 2015, the automaker announced a number of goals as part of its "Environmental Challenge 2050." One of those was to sell 1.5 million hybrids (including its Lexus brand) annually by 2020. Toyota has announced that is has already achieved that goal, selling 1.52 electrified vehicles in 2017. That's an 8 percent increase of Toyota's 2016 hybrid sales, and means the company has sold more than 11.47 million electrified vehicles since it began. Toyota says that represents a reduction of more than 90 million tons of CO2. Last year's achievement "is a testament from our customers to the quality, durability and reliability of our electrified powertrains," says Toyota Executive VP Shigeki Terashi, "and, thanks to them, has led us to establish a solid and sustainable foundation for mass producing a more diverse portfolio of electrified vehicles across our range moving forward." Other goals of Toyota's Environmental Challenge 2050 are 30,000 annual fuel cell vehicle sales by 2020, mass production of battery electric vehicles in 2020 and annual electrified vehicle sales of 5.5 million by 2030. These are all part of Toyota's larger goal of reducing new vehicle CO2 emissions by 90 percent by 2050 (compared to 2010). Prior to 2016, Toyota hybrid sales peaked in 2013, at 1.28 million before slumping slightly in 2014 and 2015. Toyota saw an uptick and a new record in 2016, at 1.4 million, before setting yet another record in 2017, at 1.52 million. Related Video:

Toyota to start production of hydrogen vehicles in December

Sun, 08 Jun 2014

Toyota's hydrogen fuel cell vehicle will be in showrooms sooner than planned, the Japan Times reporting that production will commence in mid-December with the sedan following "by the end of this year." No reason was given for the new timeline; Toyota has been saying all along that we'd see it in 2015.
The company is said to be "considering" production volume of "dozens of... vehicles per month" at a "likely" price of eight million yen, which is $78,030 US. That is well in line with the numbers thrown around last year, when the target was somewhere between $50,000 and $100,000. Then late last year, during our first drive of the FCHV mule, we wrote that "the official quote... [is] that a price of 'less than 10 million yen is ideal.'"
That alleged $78K is a sizable sum to be one of the early adopters on the hydrogen fuel cell wagon train, but with things moving around so much - and with Toyota publicly citing hydrogen fuel cells as the future - there's plenty of reason to be cautious about that number.
