Your thoughts ?
Toyota could possibly opt to release energy exclusively at the front rather than via both axles, front and rear. Something like 130 kW (approx. 180 HP) at the front and 225 kW (approx. 300 HP) at the back. Would allow them to release the 6 MJ hybrid boost for more than 45 seconds via the front exclusively. Just speculating.
