The Toyota TS050 Hybrid is a sports prototype racing car that Toyota built for the 2016 Le Mans Prototype rules of the FIA World Endurance Championship, replacing the TS040 Hybrid. It was revealed at the Circuit Paul Ricard on 24 March 2016. Its engine is a 2.4 litre twin-turbocharged petrol V6, where the two earlier cars had used a naturally aspirated V8, paired with an 8 megajoule hybrid system that stores energy in lithium-ion batteries. The car was heavily redesigned for 2017, keeping only the monocoque from the previous year. In 2016 the number 5 car lost the 24 Hours of Le Mans on the final lap when it lost power, but Toyota went on to win the race with the car in 2018, 2019 and 2020 and clinched the world endurance championship for the LMP1 class in 2019 and 2020. The last race for the TS050 was the 2020 round in Bahrain, which the number 7 car won.
