TAS 2010: Toyota MR2 Sports Hybrid concept packing 400-hp 3.3-liter V6, AWD [w/video]

manufacturers concept a lot of products that end up never being released to the public, this is just another proof of that.
I wonder if they did it to study viability of car such as this (rar engined, rear drive with front electric engines, in sport cabrio/coupe).... as this concept can be used to determine value of such future projects no matter what platform and engine they use.

Exhibit A:
2003
Exhibit B:
2004
Exhibit C:
2005
Exhibit D:
2010
And a lot of speculation in between. This car has been evolving for a while now. They trashed the +2 seats from the CS&S and put in place of the I4 a V6. They can't possibly have been testing this car for so long just to go nowhere with it. There is an interview with Naruse on the Gazoo racing site (japanese version). Google translation is sloppy, but from what I gather, he has been working on the dynamic of the car and it will be released "when it's ready".
Don't look at the MRS platform and the MZ engine. I'm pretty sure that bit is just for testing purposes.
