On the heels of Peugeot’s Le Mans withdrawal announcement, Toyota has released first photos of it new Le Mans hybrid racer car.

Right on target with previously released design illustrations, the petrol-electric hybrid-powered race car will be fitted to a newly developed chassis according to LMP1 specifications. It will be built by Toyota Motorsport at its headquarters in Cologne, Germany while the hybrid powertrain will come from Toyota Motor Corporation in Japan.

No technical details have been released yet, but hopefully the new LMP1 will retain its GT-One name from the last time Toyota raced – the 24-hours of Le Mans in 1999.
