Toyota. A brand that, until the GT86 and Supra, you probably associated with dependability. Sense. Tedium, perhaps. But thanks to those sports cars, a Le Mans win and a World Rally programme, it"s beginning to turn that around. Oh, and now there"s this. This" is a pressurised lunar rover, powered by fuel cell (like a Toyota Mirai) and able to travel 10,000km, or over 6,000 miles. Not on Earth, though, but in space. Of course. That"s because Toyota has teamed up with JAXA the Japanese equivalent of NASA to design a vehicle that"ll carry and accommodate up to four people on the moon"s surface, and with enough energy to drive a full lap of its chunkiest part.
