The video features close-ups of the engine being built, as well as snapshots of the car doing what it does best: driving fast on a race track. Looking at the car (and hearing it), it’s hard to believe that we’re seeing a hybrid. The noises emanating from the TS040 HYBRID rival those found in any Formula One car.

The hybrid race car video features an original song created by Yasutaka Nakata, also known as CAPSULE. Although you might not have heard of him, he’s been fairly well-known in Japan since the release of his debut album in 2001. Since then, he has become a producer for top Japanese acts, as well as producing a remix for Kylie Minogue and working on the soundtrack of Star Trek Into Darkness.
