Autosport say that Toyota have been testing an all new LMP1 hybrid designed to current rules. The car has been commissioned from Dome and follows tests with an adapted open top Dome S101 in late 2008. It does
not say the new car is open.
It also says that some sources say the engine is not related to the current unit in the Rebellion car and it may be an all new 2 litre turbocharged unit.
It suggests they had been gearing up for an entry in 2012 but this may have been delayed following the earthquake.
The articles also quotes the ACO in saying that they are in touch with 4 new manufacturers interested in LMP1 including some big ones and some small ones.
