Toyota Debuts 400-Plus-HP bZ Time Attack Concept for SEMA 2025

Rapid 3D printing with race-grade hardware turns the refreshed bZ platform into a 400‑plus‑hp research mule for EV motorsport.

Overview

  • Built on the 2026 all-wheel-drive bZ platform, the concept uses Toyota R&D‑tuned dual motors delivering over 300 kW (400+ hp) through bespoke ECU calibration.
  • The one-off features a six-inch lower ride height, a six-inch wider track, and a full aero package with a front splitter, side skirts, rear diffuser, and a large wing.
  • Track hardware includes TEIN coilovers, an Alcon braking system with Hawk pads adapted from the 86 Cup and Corolla TC programs, and 19×11 BBS wheels on 305/30ZR19 Continental tires.
  • Toyota produced the widebody and aero via laser scanning, CAD, and large-scale 3D printing at its Georgetown, Kentucky Add Lab, positioning the vehicle as a rolling test bed for EV development.
  • The concept will be displayed November 4–7 at the Las Vegas Convention Center in Toyota’s SEMA booth, and it is a non-production prototype with modifications that may not be street legal.
