3.3
litre V6 + electric |
Toyota's design collaboration with Italdesign produced
the hybrid sports coupe the Alessandro Volta. The car
is powered by twin electric motors and a 3.3 litre V6
petrol engine. The layout of the drive systems with the
V6 behind the rear axle, and one electric motor behind
the cockpit and the other driving the front wheels gives
the Volta a flat floor and a spacious cabin capable of
seating three.
The Volta's steering, braking and throttle are all electronically
controlled by 'drive-by-wire' technology. As such the
entire control system can be shifted from left to right
and vice versa allowing the Volta to be controlled from
either side to suit the users needs.
Exterior styling of the Toyota Volta is quite powerful,
the bonnet of the car flows into the windscreen with little
change in the angle, this gently curving line continues
back until an abrupt end at the rear of the Volta which
cuts down sharply. The whole of the car is adorned with
plenty of grilles, vents, and louvres.
