Four seconds, not bad.

Awesometastic, christmas-licious

Look like the love child of a Audi R8 and the new Nissan Skyline. Not very original but good stat, should be impressively fast.

It’s still a hybrid.

U G L Y

you aint got no alaby

You UGLY yah yah you UGLY

yeah, there’s a lot of r8 in the profile. the aero kit is totally overdone, especially in the front. still, if they managed to keep it looking that good and offered it to me for $35k, i’d take it.

Power is nice though it looks kinda weird, interior has a strong resemblance to the previous one’s basic design

It is not a show stopper but it is better than Acura’s concept car unveiled at the Los Angeles Motor Show. Not bad coming from the usually staid Toyota designs.

That roofline is sexy, and I love how the taillights are also the spoiler. Nice little details.

Not bad, Toyota!

Merry Christmas, everyone!

Get rid of the hybrid action.

Excess weight and complexity are not good for a sports car.

The car has the looks though, don’t change a thing there.

GAY…’NUFF SAID

“— a two-door sports coupe that could provide clues to the next Supra”

“The car seats four and has a 50:50 weight balance.”

I’m confused…

The design is butt ugly. Tone it down with a clean modern design. No retro crap please.
A hybid V6 with 400hp, 0-60 in around 4 seconds all for 30-40 grand! Wow, I’ll take that. That’s zo6, Porsche, F40. performance & the Toyota will get 20mpg and be reliable. Where do I sign-up.

Oh yeah…………MERRY CHRISTMAS EVERYONE!

Just make it gas….I don’t like the hybrid.

God help the Supra if it looks ANYTHING like that.

towards S.M. C6. The Z06 get to 60 in under 4 seconds and it gets more than 20 mpg reliably. Just BC its a Toyata doesn’t mean its reliable. You have a week assumption.

dam, see this is why i may regret the 335i, i love it, but toyota motors are the best imo……..

Uh,

Very Japanese. Zen interior, too.

I doubt 400 hp is getting 4 sec. to 60. Maybe 4.8. Saying 4 sec. to 60 is like saying the zo6 is 3 sec. to 60 in this case

and yes, this concept is effing HIDEOUS

u are wrong!!!!!!! just cause its a toyota does mean its reliable!

Ugh.

1) It’s a Toyota…
2) It’s a Hybrid. When will people wake up to that scam?
3) It’s ugly & childish-looking. I used to doodle cars that looked just like this before I learned to draw freehand. Looks like someone had a ruler glued to their hands as he was forced to design the car.
4) It’s a Toyota…

You can’t beat the price.

Steve Bossel-> horsepower means nothing unless you consider the car its moving. It’s a toyota, so everything is probably made from plastic! It would have to scale in at under 3000lbs to get 4 seconds with 400hp.

Side: kinda cool. Rear: not bad. Front: Looks like the next hoover vacuum.

four seconds, 50/50 weight, zero soul

lets hope its like the old supra or there wont be a single enthusiast that gives a **** about toyota

and it loses that hybrid for a turbo

I think its very odd looking both inside and out. The front end looks like the latest thing in snow blowers.

If you want soul from a Toyota go try a third and fourth gen Supra or a first or second gen MR2 (though not the crappy mk2 NA US version).

Got potential, the front bumper would need some work and a hybrid, no sport car enthusiast in their right mind would buy a hybrid sports car.

What you get when Gobot meets Gaybot.

This car won’t seat four unless they mean two small dogs in the back.

Here’s the distinction between Toyota’s concept cars and others—they have the means of making come to fruition, and the engineering prowess of making a massed produced vehicle that’s livable as a daily driver. This design would do and sell well on the market, and the theme is consistent. You have to hand it to Toyota for investing substantial sums of money into R&D.

The exterior is only ok, the interior is gorgeous! I love how the drivers side just wraps around and engulfs you. Very nice, I like the interior.

No comment. It’s just a CGI concept, so it doesn’t really exist.

Okay, one comment: Toyota should stop trying to copy Lamborghini styling.

hideous……

George Alexander of the Auto Fidelity Group says “absolutely stunning… Toyota is about to embark on a journey that will further distinguish it from all other automotive manufacturers. With the FT-HS Hybrid Sports Concept, Toyota is staying true to its roots by being a reliable, economical, and evironmentally friendly company, that is now bringing back power and speed to cater to the enthusiasts that Toyota once had. This will allow Toyota to furter dominate the auto industry, that it already has a stronghold on.”

Where do I place my order?

This is high-class design — the future in making.
And Dear Conservatives, f*^k you! Go drive your F-150s and don’t **** on our parade.

There is a difference between design and styling. I’ll repeat that again, design and styling are NOT the same. Design has an intention, a purpose, and solves a problem. Styling is important too and fits into the design, but it is not the first and only priority. Not original? Why? Correct me if I am wrong, but I don’t really seem to remember any hybrid concepts with a unique folding roof with that sort of performance. Sure it’s not revolutionary, but it is uncommon. Achieving complete originality is an incredibly difficult task because whatever you do, you can be almost certain that someone else has done something similar. And while making remarks, please try to make sure you back it up with a proper reason or explanation.

Anyway, I personally love the interior. I would imagine the front bumper area is probably *designed* to enable enhanced cooling to the brakes and such. The rear seats which are virtually inaccessible to adults are useless—why not use the space for something like storage? Having said that, I think Toyota was thinking about a wider audience when they designed this car. This, for me, isn’t the new Supra, but something new altogether.

$30-40K my big black ass…

i like the side desing roof line is the same as the gtr proto i like more the back than the front but i dont love either…. the side view is awesome

Its so Toyota, and I don’t mean that as a compliment.

Merry Christmas all!

toyota is gonna make all their cars hybrids from now on. but aslong as it is fast and handles well then i dont care what it runs on. besides, you’ll get better mileage and supposedly help stop global warming.

More a Celica than a Supra. Or a higher end Scion.
Trendy, but trendy fades fast. Definitely designed for the young crowd.

it gets to 60 in 4sec because of all the instant power from the electric motors. i really am only digging the profile

It looks good for the most part, but I highly doubt you will be getting into this one for $30-$40K. Its nearly $30K just for a Prius after all the dealer markups. But I’m sure Toyota will sell each one they make.

WTF? This is the most stunning Toyota I have ever seen. Beautifully blends LED technology into the design, origami styling that is Celica on the good acid and an interior architecture that is just wicked.

Check out the airbag ‘pod’ on the passenger side. This sucker goes on my desktop.

Blacked out A-pillar is the new black.

ulgy

Jesus H. Christinhymer I cannot get over how amazing to look at this car is. Something within Toyota has awakened; it’s as revolutionary as any show car from Citroen. I am flabbergasted, giddy and babbling.

wow, looks good, almost too edgy, it has all the same lines people hate about the new cadillacs, caddy mates with g35 and this is what you get. the side view is the best, front and rear need some cleaning up but all in all i dont hate it, like the old supra lines a lot better.

A concept should look so good that even the watered down production version (w/o 26″ wheels, ,million$ paint or expensive LEDs) will be desirable and this car is not good looking enough to be a production car. And what a surprise, they copied the basic design profile from a high end German mark, the audi R8. That diverting center crease on the hood is right off the Celica, the front and rear ends look like someone is trying real hard to find a fresh look, but not a executing it.

Although the roof is cool

Not bad.
But Toyota will never build something like this.
Why? Because it would not make them tons of money.
Toyota is only after the money. For them it does not matter if their cars have soul, inspiration, looks, desirability or even performance.
Toyota is THE bland-mobiles utilitarian company and that will not change.
Count the rolling couches Lexus in as well

Toyota had another good concept, Volta, in 2004.
Same story, hybrid, etc.
Guess what? The concept was never built
http://www.seriouswheels.com/cars/top-2004-Toyota-Alessandro-Volta-Concept.htm

Guess what? A VERY big % of all concepts from any manufacturer are never built.

American^^^ Never underestimate Toyota. There are very few car companies with their level of competence in everything, bar design and soul. If Toyota truly wants something, they have the resources and technology to get it.

Lexus effortlessly became the top-selling luxury brand in the United States.

meanpants555, is Toyota paying your rent?

Sure Toyota can do it. But they will not.

why even have the back seat?

Is this a car or an ad for the new Transformers movie?

MHW^^^ Some things you don’t expect to happen. I cannot remember a car from Toyota that is so drop dead gorgeous. All of their cars seem compromised designed wise (let alone handling); this is an intriguing and stunning design.

I would gush as much if Alfa Romeo was ever at the top of the JD Power Survey. Some things you don’t expect to happen.

Perhaps borrowing somewhat from MHW’s comment, I have seen nicer front ends on those highway snow plows where the plow is jointed in the middle. I think the jointed feathure then allows the driver to set the plow at different angles. The other angles of the car are OK.

Response to deantj - Does the FJ-Cruiser or the new Tundra count at all? The FJ especially looks like the concept.

Tranformers, I hope this one has “more than meets the eye”

Scrap the hybrid idea. Tone it down. Give it a Twin-turbo inline 6. Call it a Supra.

Keep the hybrid idea. Add a more realistic exterior. Keep the price the same. Call it a Supra.

Freshly funky, a bit too “anime” for me to take seriously. I like the rear taillights/deck spoiler, but the rest needs toning way down. The hub-less steering wheel deserves further research (where’s the airbag).

But I’ve already seen some preproduction, or prototype photos of the next Supra. It looks really sweet, not Ferrari 599 sweet but still tasty.

This is pure concept and shouldn’t be taken as more than that.

Also Lexus easily made in America because they cost less than comparable Mercedes and BMWs of the time. Now it is about even and Lexus is still holding on because they are generally less costly.

yummy yummy in my tummy

UGLY AS ****

good: 0-60 in 4 sec, only $40k
bad: ugly, ****ty interior
overall: B+
