Outside, this car’s body features a retractable rear wing along with a host of other aerodynamic features including ducts and vents that manage airflow at racetrack speeds. Moving inside, it’s got a sporty, low-slung cockpit with a driver-focused layout. Designers also took steps to reduce weight with things like a carbon-fiber seat.
Now, let’s talk about what you’re all salivating for, technical details, but let me warn you, you ain’t going to like it. You see, there is practically ZERO powertrain news to share at this time. All the company’s said is that it features a high-tech internal-combustion engine, but that’s it. Still, this is actually good news; we don’t want no stinkin’ electric!
The powertrain is housed under a transparent hood while an ambiguous engine cover leaves much to the viewer’s imagination. And you’re going to have to give your mind’s eye a real workout because we have no idea if the Toyota FT-1 will ever go into production.

Can't wait to see the production version. Hopefully they keep it very similar.

 

[SRT-What?]

Malade!

 

[trish07]

Keep fingers crossed!

Wow..... Looks simply amazing. That cockpit screams Supra with the way it hugs the driver. Unfortunately, I think any hopes I had of possibly being able to afford one just flew out the window.

vraiment belle, j'espère juste que sa ne sera pas seulement paddle shift mais manuelle mais c'est un moindre mal au fond lol au moin ils sortent enfin un concept qui a de l'allure

You're right, it has the same raw, aggressive style. I think that's why I love this so much, the sagaris is one of my favorite cars.

Just like your face

What did you expect from a guy with no vehicule, living in Matagami and loving 20" chrome wheels??

 

[DDspec V]

Must be blind. :run:

loll the rear end looks like Lexus LFA but the frond end is "discutable en criss"

 

[DJD&G]

Inb4 150k $ supra...

I acutally didn't like the front either. Till I watched the video of it. Now the more I see it, the more I like it. Production version probably won't be as aggressive.

My estimate is ~100K. ~500hp.

 

[trish07]

Si on se rappelle, le concept de FR-S était spécial aussi....tout comme le concept de la LFA, au final, ça se ressemble plus au moins et c'est toujours moins agressif que le concept.

De mémoire, c'est un projet développé en collaboration avec BMW, je suis sûre que ça va être bin beau
