The "Future Toyota" numero uno, or FT-1, is supposed to be Toyota's top RWD sports car. At least in concept form. What we get is a taste of Toyota's future design language, calling the FT-1 the "spiritual pace car for Toyota Global Design." It's almost a caricature of the FRS, with its spin on long hood/short deck styling, but with attention payed to housing some interesting aerodynamic tricks. Strategically placed vents that point at the use of extractors, and rear diffuser work stand out. There's even some F1 styling cues: obviously in the powerful nose, but also in the rear LED "rain light." Powertrain options are held quiet, but out of the hood peeks a longitudinally mounted engine for everyone to place bets on…
Is that an intake housing a velocity-stacked V10? Certainly looks too wide to be a valve cover for some inline motor, sorry 2JZ fans. The interior carries on the F1 theme in the control layout over the wheel, with a fighter jet inspired glass Heads Up Display (HUD) high up in the dash.
What ever it is, it's aimed to be Toyota's halo car. With the next NSX around the corner, could we see a return of the mighty Supra name plate? See the video for a quick look at the interior details and displays.
