Toyota FT-1 Concept greatest performance cars that have ever existed
Toyota Design Research in Newport Beach, California, the words describing the sports car's styling concept came first -- words like "sexy," "honest," "organic," "kick-ass." But when they did, it was an avalanche. .It's iconic: a long, melted nose, abrupt windshield rise, tight roof peak, and lengthy plunge to a mini ducktail flip.
Toyota create a sports car for the future, a point emphasized by its eventual name, "FT-1" -- for Future Toyota-One -- which recalls their stillborn 2007 FT-HS project and parallels Lexus' "LF" (Lexus Future) naming scheme.
A three-dimensional frenzy of winks and side glances, sucking scoops, and brutal down force-generators, all peeking at us from behind a curtain where the future is being created. It's the essence of a potent potential new sports car that's for now an instant of bodywork turbulence, shock-frozen in fiberglass.
Toyota’s new Toyota FT-1 Concept turbocharged 2.0 litre four-cylinder due to be used in the upcoming Lexus NX Crossover. However, a hybrid model combining a 2.5 litre V6 with an electric motor looking at developing more than 400 horsepower.
