I'm glad to see them supporting a new sports car but this is nothing but a drawn up concept with little to no actual performance aspects in mind. I very much dislike this type of designing as it practically never translates to the real world production vehicles so it's completely pointless.

I say start with the underlying drivetrain and suspension specs first, then let the body be formed by aerodynamic and safety structure testing, then design a functional interior, then make some minor cosmetic tweaks to give it more style.

But even the styling, which is the sole purpose of this concept, is a bit too daft and over the top for me. IMO, Toyota is better off ignoring this concept and letting the real Japanese and German TMG engineers and designers handle the project.
