Toyota concepts
Tue, 15 Nov 2011Toyota is set to unveil a trio of concepts at this year's Tokyo motor show. Taking snap-shots of the future of Toyota, they are said to represent the 'near-future, mid-term and far out.' Details on all three are currently limited, so stay tuned to CDN for our Tokyo show coverage, where we will bring you more details and images of all three cars.
The FT-EV III represents the ‘near future'. An obviously iQ-based electric vehicle, it is equipped with a lithium-ion battery giving a range of 65 miles. Despite its iQ underpinnings and concept tag, it does give a clear indication of the future aesthetic of EVs from Toyota.
The FCV-R is a Fuel Cell concept vehicle. The three-box sedan features a distinctively different demeanor to previous Toyota concepts. The Avensis sized concept is said to point toward a Fuel Cell production car scheduled for 2015.
Furthest removed from reality is the Fun-Vii concept. A mono-form concept, it features a full-length screen that relays information to the outside world. The concept is Toyota's vision of ‘a future where people, cars and society are linked'.
