2012 TMG Sports 650<\/h1>\n

Cologne, Germany – TOYOTA Motorsport GmbH (TMG) will present a range of high-performance vehicles at the Essen Motor Show (1-9 December), showcasing its race and road car developments.<\/p>\n

Making its first public appearance at Essen will be the TMG Sports 650 concept, a TMG-developed 650hp, bi-turbo super sports car based on the Lexus LS 460.<\/p>\n

As a showcase for TMG\u2019s high-performance capabilities, this heavily-modified road car is intended to push the limits of performance in all areas.<\/p>\n

It features a 4,969cm\u00b3 650PS V8 engine, intended to achieve a top speed of 320km\/h via an eight-speed high-torque-capacity transmission while the aerodynamics have been improved using TMG\u2019s cutting-edge wind tunnels.<\/p>\n

The TMG Sports 650 is a high-end limousine-sized car which is equally comfortable and exciting on the road as on track days.<\/p>\n
