 An update function ensures network drives, and multimedia control system vehicles are always equipped with the latest software.Toyota calls it a "full-city study of hybrid cars," so the FT-Bh is not destined for production. However, Toyota's goal is to create a Runabout, fuel-efficient low-cost urban areas that do not rely on expensive materials or complex manufacturing, but rather to use existing technology to make the hybrid affordable to the masses - something that would be suitable for Europe.

Porsche 918 Spyder 2014

Porsche Spyder will be a technological and performance tour de force when it arrives next year, powered by a combination of a mid-mounted V-8 and two electric motors up front. The combined power output could approach 800 horsepower, and the top speed should easily break the 200-mph barrier. So maybe it should come as no surprise to see this 918 Spyder prototype, recently caught testing on a German racetrack, wearing some racing-inspired camouflage.

That’s right, the 918 can run for approximately 15-20 miles via twin electric motors fed power by a lithium-ion battery pack. So if you’re running a quick errand, the 918 Spyder is as eco-friendly as a plug-in Prius, Chevrolet Volt or Nissan Leaf EV. Just make certain your speed doesn’t exceed 93 mph, otherwise the 4.6-liter V-8 will spring into action. Not that we’d mind, considering the engine delivers roughly 570 bhp. Working in conjunction with the electric motors, the 918 Spyder can vary power to the front and rear axles as needed, while providing neck-snapping 0-60 runs of less than 3 seconds.

2014 Audi R8 Concept

Audi R8 being overdue for an update. The car looks as stunning today as when it was introduced as the Le Mans Quattro Concept during the 2003 Frankfurt Auto Show. Then again, that concept rolled onstage nearly a decade ago, and the production model has been on sale for approximately six years now. While we love the shape of this mid-engine 2-passenger speed machine, there is definitely some room for improvement. One thing Audi isn’t messing with is the overall design; the R8 test mule caught by our spy photographers sports a new front and rear fascia. The shape of the headlights and taillights has been revised, though this prototype looks remarkably similar to the outgoing model.

Audi is almost guaranteed to dump the dim-witted R-tronic sequential gearbox for its much more refined S-tronic dual clutch transmission. The optional R-tronic has routinely been criticized for being balky and slow to shift. An improved automatic transmission should improve performance and even eke out a few more miles per gallon – not that you buy an R8 for its fuel savings. A 6-speed manual will also be available. The 430-bhp 4.2-liter V-8, along with the optional 525-bhp 5.2-liter V-10, should be mostly carryover, though both motors are likely to have a bit more power than before.
