Wow! Toyota FT-1 Concept

[phucheneh]

Really? The Kia concept looks like a turd to me...I thought the top-view 'sneak peak' was great, until I actually saw the concept. No Thanks.

The Toyota has an AMAZING side profile. I would expect the front and back to clean-up with less 'busi-ness' in the production model, and if tastefully done, will be great. I will get this car if it is <50K and >450hp.

If you 'cleaned up' the Toyota to get rid of all the random extraneous detail that looks out of place and generally does not jive with the overall shape of the car...

...I think you'd end up with the Kia, pretty much. Being totally serious about that...push that pointy nose in, fill in all those awkward gaps beneath the headlights and taillights, and they're quite similar.

How are they going to sell the HP you want for that kind of price? Nobody sells that level of HP for that price except for the Mustang which is really really 'meh' outside of a big HP number.

Toyota haven't made anything exciting since the Supra and those weren't cheap for the turbo MkIVs (as well as the fact that the remaining ones keep appreciating).

Doesn't have to be new. I am fine waiting a couple years if the car starts at 70k and drops from there. 😛

Well then, game on good sir. (That's what I'm waiting for on the C7 Corvette).

Looks a little too much like Ace and Gary's car for my comfort.

 

[SSSnail]

That looks like a penis.

According to Gran Turismo 6, it's a new Supra and needs MOAR turbo. LOL.

Throw the 5.0L 450hp v8 from Lexus in there....or a nice I6 TT. 😀

Hopefully no recalls the first year, if it will ever come out.

A lot of the new Toyota\Lexus designs reminds me of a cat with its face pulled back.

Necro post (a little bit)...

The new Lexus RC-F is targeting low $60's for price...rumored to be powered by a new V8 with around 450hp. If we could get a Surpa for about $50k, the price would be about right. I6-TT would be OK too. 😛

Hoping NOT a hybrid....:/

Wish the RC-F was low 50s.. 🙁

By the time it gets to production it will look like another scion.

Toyota is one of the worst for showing amazing concepts, then magically turning the production car into the most boring turd possible.

I don't know, Subaru is pretty damned good at that too. You see these sweet concepts for the newest STi and then BAM!!! They hit you with another Toyota Corolla.
