NAIAS Preview: Toyota FT-HS Sports Concept
You might want to sit down before fainting over a Toyota. This year, Toyota will present its FT-HS Hybrid Sports Concept which will be a super car powered by a 3.5-L V6 engine with more than 400 horsepowers working together with a hybrid powertrain with a 0-60 time of around 4 seconds.
Although a mere concept, what you see here will certainly be what you get at the Detroit auto show. The FT-HS Hybrid Sports Concept that will unveil at the NAIAS will be the size of a Lexus SC430, except wider. There will also be room for 4 passengers. The engine will be visible through a hole in the hood, similar to that of the Audi R8, where the engine is visible through a piece of glass.
Inside, the aggressive design from the outside is carried onto the interior, which has sharp edges throughout the cabin. Yes, it may look cool in the pictures, but the question really is: will this ever be made into production? Kevin Hunter, VP of the Calty Design Research reports that the price tag will fall in the mid $30,000 range, which is not too shabby.
WOW! Look at those four exhaust pipes! Wait, do we really need that many for a hybrid? I’m really liking the design that looks like a batman car, inside and out. If toyota brings this to production, i’ll be surprised AND i’ll be one happy guy.
As said before in the article, it will be highly unlikely that Toyota will actually launch this thing into production but there is a possibility, like in 5/100 chances because we all know that Lexus had success with the GS450h and using the hybrid powertrain to increase power.
I know Toyota will bring this baby for sure. They probably going to replace the Lexus SC430 with this baby. And if not, this might be the new Toyota Supra. If this baby come into production I want two for sure. One in white and the other ruby red. Absolutely a “STUNNING” design. Great Toyota designing team. Love it.

WERY GOOD FT-HS
