Toyota Unveils Hydrogen-Powered Prototype Testing Car at Le Mans 24 Hours

Toyota makes a groundbreaking move in the world of motorsport by unveiling a hydrogen-powered test car set to revolutionize the Le Mans 24 Hours race. The GR LH2 Racing Concept, a hydrogen-fueled prototype, was introduced by Toyota at Le Mans, showcasing the brand’s commitment to exploring the potential of liquid hydrogen as a fuel source for internal combustion engines.

Developed at Toyota Gazoo Racing Europe in Cologne, Germany, the GR LH2 is based on the chassis of the GR010 HYBRID Le Mans Hypercar. While specific details of the engine and hybrid system remain undisclosed, TGRE chairman Kazuki Nakajima emphasized the importance of testing and expanding the capabilities of hydrogen combustion engine technology.

With Toyota’s history of hydrogen implementation in motorsport, including modified Corollas in the Super Taikyu series, the GR LH2 Racing Concept represents a significant leap towards incorporating hydrogen technology in high-performance racing. The brand’s ambition to compete at Le Mans and in the World Endurance Championship with hydrogen technology demonstrates its commitment to innovation and sustainability in the automotive industry.

Despite initial plans to introduce hydrogen at Le Mans in 2024, delays have pushed the timeline to 2028. Toyota’s readiness to participate hinges on the finalization of regulations, including safety protocols for the use of liquid hydrogen in motorsport. The recent approval of these regulations by the FIA Motor Sport World Council marks a crucial step towards realizing Toyota’s vision of hydrogen-powered racing on a global stage.
