Toyota FT-HS Concept, Luxury Car Design

<p style="text-align: justify;">It’s not a Supra, but… When it debuted in 2007, is was suggested that the <span class="IL_AD" id="IL_AD5">Toyota</span> FT-HS (Future Toyota Hybrid Sport) might fill the void left by the iconic turbocharged <span class="IL_AD" id="IL_AD4">sports</span> coupe. Toyota, however, suggests that this is not the case, but rather that the FT-HS will create a new market segment for an “attainable exotic,” with prices slated to <span class="IL_AD" id="IL_AD1">start</span> around the mid-$30,000 range. The gorgeous 2+2’s high performance V6 is mated to the newest version of Toyota’s Hybrid Synergy Drive and hypothetically will produce around 400bhp, with a projected 0-60 time of around 4 seconds. Aesthetically, this car seems to borrow quite a bit from the Lexus LF-A, such as the elongated nose and angular body. The FT-HS will be revamped before the Tokyo Auto Show later this <span class="IL_AD" id="IL_AD3">year</span>, hopefully emerging shortly thereafter in 2010 as a production model.</p> <p style="text-align: center;"><img alt="toyota ft hs concept luxury car design 1 Toyota FT HS Concept, Luxury Car Designautomotive" class="alignnone size-full wp-image-1035" src="http://besttopdesign.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/06/toyota-ft-hs-concept-luxury-car-design-1.jpg" style="width: 405px; height: 284px;" title="toyota-ft-hs-concept-luxury-car-design-1" /></p> <p style="text-align: center;"><img alt="toyota ft hs concept luxury car design 2 Toyota FT HS Concept, Luxury Car Designautomotive" class="alignnone size-full wp-image-1036" src="http://besttopdesign.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/06/toyota-ft-hs-concept-luxury-car-design-2.jpg" style="width: 404px; height: 303px;" title="toyota-ft-hs-concept-luxury-car-design-2" /><span id="more-1034"></span></p> <p style="text-align: center;"><img alt="toyota ft hs concept luxury car design 3 Toyota FT HS Concept, Luxury Car Designautomotive" class="alignnone size-full wp-image-1037" src="http://besttopdesign.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/06/toyota-ft-hs-concept-luxury-car-design-3.jpg" style="width: 406px; height: 304px;" title="toyota-ft-hs-concept-luxury-car-design-3" /></p> <p style="text-align: center;"><img alt="toyota ft hs concept luxury car design 4 Toyota FT HS Concept, Luxury Car Designautomotive" class="alignnone size-full wp-image-1038" src="http://besttopdesign.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/06/toyota-ft-hs-concept-luxury-car-design-4.jpg" style="width: 406px; height: 254px;" title="toyota-ft-hs-concept-luxury-car-design-4" /></p> <p style="text-align: center;"><img alt="toyota ft hs concept luxury car design 5 Toyota FT HS Concept, Luxury Car Designautomotive" class="alignnone size-full wp-image-1039" src="http://besttopdesign.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/06/toyota-ft-hs-concept-luxury-car-design-5.jpg" style="width: 406px; height: 304px;" title="toyota-ft-hs-concept-luxury-car-design-5" /></p>
