    A Google News search for "hybrid" displays an article by Motor Trend with the title:
    "2011 Tokyo: Toyota FS Hybrid Concept is Century for 21st Century"
    "MotorTrend Magazine - 1 hour ago
    The company also assists Toyota with some engineering projects, and the FS Hybrid concept making its debut in Tokyo may just be one such project. ..."

    But then, mysteriously, the article appears to have been removed from Motor Trend's website.

    UPDATE: This is the closest thing I could find on Toyota's website, originally unveiled as a CAD drawing back in 2006:

    The FT-HS is nothing new. On top of it all, they just released the GT 86 (which is hoping to channel the AE86 Hachiroku).

    The picture in the search results is not that new. It's the GRMN hybrid sports car. It's different from the Toyota 86 (GT 86 in Europe and Scion FR-S in NA) that was just revealed.
