Toyota FT-1 Concept

[Wretched]

Toyota has stunned crowds at the Detroit motor show today with this astonishing concept, the FT-1. In case you were wondering, yes, this is the new Toyota Supra, (we’re almost certain!).

The FT-1 references Toyota’s sports car history through its design language, with the front engine, rear-wheel drive layout allowing the cockpit to sit further back, also aiding weight distribution. It aims to give the driver excellent vision, thanks to the 2000GT-inspired wraparound windscreen.

That attitude follows into the cockpit design, which “capitalises on the car’s low centre of gravity“. There’s a Formula-1 style steering wheel, while a colour head-up display allows the driver to keep their eyes on the road at all times.

The exterior looks like a steroidal version of the FT-86 concept that spawned the GT86. This car gets flared front wings, large air intakes and exhausts, and a huge retractable rear wing.

Toyota claims that this new car was designed as part of its “aim of creating cars that connect more deeply with customers on an emotional level and generate a more satisfying ownership experience.” That’s easy to do – just make this new Supra a reality.

I do like the profile but the front and rear are a little over styled.
Though better than their last efforts with that horrid spindle grille.
