Toyota Mirai — this hydrogen car which took part in the ninth stage of the WRC is offset. The logical question — why? In 2017, Toyota plans to return to the World Rally Championship, and hydrogen «bomb» is to remind of profit companies.
They did it! Behind the wheel of Toyota Mirai was Mitsushiro Kunisava — Japanese journalist and concurrently also an amateur racer. The car was equipped with sink 153-strong power plant. From a purely racing were just brake pads and tires.
9 seconds does it take to accelerate to the first hundred, and reserve at Mirai enough for 480 kilometers. However, in the WRC car to drive only a few special stages, and not in the combat channel. So everything was still going on promotions rather than battle-tested.
Will it help increase sales Mirai? Perhaps even more so that by the end of the year decided to implement 400 copies. In the US, the cost of the hydrogen car is 57 500.
