Overall, the Mirai’s unique shape has benefitted from these sporting updates, and we would love to see Toyota offer this as an optional extra or as a GR Sport trim level. There is no mention of performance upgrades, save for the slightly lowered suspension.
We can assume that the Mirai’s power figures remain unchanged. With just 182 horsepower and 221 lb-ft of torque, the hydrogen-powered Toyota is unhurried: 0 to 60 mph takes 9.2 seconds. As a niche product, we find it hard to believe that Japan’s largest car company is working on a performance version of the Mirai.
If a sportier version is on the way, we’re guessing it will remain a JDM exclusive. To make it appealing, Toyota would have to ensure it produces at least 320 horsepower. Still, it’s great to see Toyota showcasing this product and the sportier aesthetic upgrades.
