Toyota bZ Time Attack AWD Concept Turns Electric Power Into Lap Times

Toyota’s latest project doesn’t have a hint of the future; it shouts it from the racetrack. The Toyota bZ Time Attack Concept started as a quiet electric crossover, but somewhere along the way, Toyota figured they would let things go wild.

Collaborating with Toyota Motorsports Garage, they created a bZ that transformed the bZ itself into a full-blown machine, and built track records hunting machine.

Everything about it screams purpose. The team began with a stock 2026 bZ, stripped it to its foundation and rebuilt piece by piece. No-trouble dual-motor is a clean 338-horse system that now brings more than 400 horsepower. It’s fast, but more valuable, it is poised to fight. The stance is wider, the ride lower, the whole thing comes across as a coil-up and a waiting-to-shoot thing.

Underneath, there’s proper racing gear. TEIN coilovers, Alcon brakes, and Continental tires are wide enough to make a muscle car blush. The roll cage isn’t for show either—it’s FIA-spec, which means this thing’s ready for real competition.

The bodywork looks like something drawn by a kid with a box of crayons and a love for race cars, with widebody panels, sharp splitters, a tall wing, and vents everywhere you look. It’s not subtle, but subtle isn’t the point. Every scoop and edge does something useful, pushing air, cutting drag, or gluing the car to the asphalt.

Inside, it’s all business. No screens, no clutter, no comforts. Just two racing seats, some harnesses, and a whiff of metal and rubber. It’s more pit lane than living room, and that’s the way Toyota wants it. The Toyota bZ Time Attack isn’t about saving the planet or showing off battery range. It is about proving that an electric car will still excite your palms with sweat.
