Friends: 59 | Is this Supra hybrid based on HSD? If it is, this will be the first with in-wheel motors to make AWD. |

But, you're right it is the first with in-wheel motors AWD. The Lexus LS 600h is a mechanical AWD. However, the Supra seems to have a super-capacitor storage device in addition to the NiMH battery. Ken@Japan | |

Friends: 37 | 16 hours in (06:00 JST) and the hybrid has led the entire way. They're currently 9 laps ahead of the Porsche 911s in 2nd and 3rd place at 379 laps. Can you say Butt kicking.    What will be interesting to see will be what the fuel economy was compared to the other cars. How much fuel was used compared to the others, and how many pit stops were required compared to everyone else.
