「Toyota's first electric sports car aimed to be indistinguishable from a gasoline one」:  ある意味、正直?

Despite all the strides made by electric vehicles in the last decade, there's still one category where they're sorely lacking: the affordable EV sports car. We've seen sedans, SUVs, supercars, and even pickup trucks, but there's yet to be an EV that drives like a Miata. That could be changing, as a new report from the U.K. suggests that Toyota is working on an electric performance prototype worthy of the GR badge.

ヘ～

At the recent 24 Hours of Le Mans, Autocar spoke to Akio Toyoda, Toyota's recently retired president and grandson of the company's founder, and says he is still taking an active role in developing the EV sports car. Toyoda, a known enthusiast that has driven some of Toyota's race cars at endurance and rally competitions around the world, says that he wants his performance EVs to be almost indistinguishable from their gasoline counterparts.

やはりル・マンに出たトヨタと豊田章男さんの威力は日本国内以上に凄いんですね。

Toyoda has been adamant about preserving the "fun to drive" aspect of cars as the industry moves into a new era of green energy, almost to a fault. It's why the company has been experimenting with hydrogen-combustion race cars 

現実的問題としては、此方が本命と思います。充電渋滞などバカげています。

Rumors have pointed to a potential EV using a mid-engined layout being co-developed with Toyota partners Daihatsu and Suzuki, but Toyoda didn't disclose details and still hedges.

どうでしょう?

テスラと中国EVを見れば、さきゆきが分かる気もしますけど～
