Holy shit this thing is fucking gorgeous, if they do brand it Supra. I think it'll definitely live up to its past!!

So Toyota, essentially built a front engine rwd version of this ugly shit?

I love the side profile, but I'm not feeling the rest of the car. Super ugly if you ask me. Hopefully the front and rear see drastic changes if this is to go into production.

^That looks nothing like the FT-1.

Toyota has brought its A game to the 2014 Detroit Auto Show, showing off the striking FT-1 Concept. Short for "Future Toyota," the FT-1 is, we're imagining, the supposed Supra Concept we reported on early in December.

Penned by the Calty Design Research team, the FT-1 draws inspirations from the FT-HS and the Lexus LF-LC concepts from 2007 and 2012, respectively. We certainly see a bit of Lexus LF-A in the design, while there's more than a hint of Formula One in the FT-1's pointed nose.

"Our team was heavily influenced by Toyota's sports car past, especially Celica and Supra, and we sought to capture some of that history. It is an aggressive, track-focused sports car concept with a presence that has been amplified for shock and awe," said Alex Shen, Calty's Studio Chief Designer.

The FT-1's interior is what Toyota calls a "place of business," which would be a funny description of a Toyota, if the FT-1 didn't look the way it did. The cabin is snug, while a colored heads-up display adds to the sense that this is more cockpit than cabin.

While it may be a concept, it will be available to drive soon, as Toyota worked with Polyphony Digital to add the FT-1 to Gran Turismo 6. According to the press release, which you can view below, the low-slung concept will be available for download tomorrow. Until then, be sure to peruse our full gallery of live images from the floor of Cobo Hall and the press release below.

What are your thoughts on it?

I think it looks like a Toyorrari, a mash of toyota and ferrari. I also see some hints of FT-86 concept on it. Looks sick to me

Of course it doesn't. But it certainly reminds me of the Citroen through the design cues.

I'm not really a fan of the look, honestly. It seems a bit too cartoonish and ridiculous to me...

sprintertrueno86 · 01-13-2014, 01:47 PM

Gorgeous looking concept but the 2 cpu fans in the front needs to go.

bestwheelbase · 01-13-2014, 02:00 PM

Goodbye GTR. Hahahahahahahahaha.

BoostJunkie · 01-13-2014, 02:07 PM

Remember, it's a concept, so it won't be that outrageous most likely, one thing I do like is the side view, just says supra IMO

zygrene · 01-13-2014, 02:12 PM

I see some resemblance to the Alfa Romeo 4C here. I like.
