The resultant flat floor and wide beam (just under 2 meters/6.6 feet) allowed Toyota to sit three adult passengers side-by-side, with a single smaller seat in the rear. The unorthodox configuration caused its builders to designate it a 3+1 coupe.

Of course, it wouldn't be a Toyota hybrid without being economical. If driven moderately a single 52 liter (13.7 gallon) tank of gasoline should result in approximately 700 km (435 miles).
Toyota once again has bent the rules of performance, developing a powerful supercar that won't offend Mother Nature or her minions. Ironic, but the one company that would have no financial challenges building a car this daring, probably won't. Enthusiasts with socially conscious hearts can only hope.
