Huh almost sounds like a sized up Honda S660

New Toyota SF-R concept (sub-86) preview just dropped!! It's supposed to be debuting at the 2015 Toyota auto show!

https://global.toyota/en/detail/9737...734.1622913107

Toyota S-FR (world premiere)

The Toyota S-FR is a concept vehicle that continues the proud heritage of Toyota's fun-to-drive lightweight sports cars. Pitched as an entry-level model, the new concept emphasizes responsiveness, and aims to make a whole new generation fall in love with driving.

Compact and Simple
The concept's compact body is incredibly light, yet offers a smooth driving style. Not just a sports car, it pairs the simplicity of an entry-level model with an intimacy that brings human and machine closer together.

Fun to Drive
Benefiting from the unique advantages of a lightweight sports car, the concept offers smooth, responsive and direct handling that gives a real sense of communication between car and driver―one key benefit of the FR (front engine/rear drive) format.

Sporty design
The concept's long nose and wide stance make for an archetypal sports car profile, while the familiar roundness of its frame inspires a feeling of closeness. The simple and modern finish of the interior rounds off a design that stresses approachable simplicity while conveying the vehicle's performance and sporty spirit.

The full-fledged FR layout gives the engine a front midship location. Optimal weight distribution and independent suspension make for outstanding cornering performance.

A six-speed manual transmission offers smooth acceleration, adding to the car's fun, responsive drive.
The Toyota S-FR was conceptualized as the kind of vehicle that attracts its own die-hard fan base, whose members love driving and customizing it.

Looks terrible

Bring it on! Someone other than Mazda needs to show they can apply some real engineering skill toward making a lightweight sports car.

Has a supercharger kit been released yet? Also needs a big brake kit plus suspension upgrade. Does anyone one have a sound clip of this car with extractors? Should I get a lsd?

SUB-FT86 · 10-08-2015, 06:56 AM

That thing is massively ugly. But it looks fun to drive.

Tcoat · 10-08-2015, 07:10 AM

Old news regurgitated at a show is still old news. Still just a concept and if made at all will not likely ever hit North America.

With new info I stand massively corrected! My pessimism lost this round.

Pickleahoy · 10-08-2015, 07:19 AM

Dude I love that ass. I would buy it if it was turboed or it still had a sidebanger engine

dnieves · 10-08-2015, 07:39 AM

Looking at that S-FR thing made me throw up in my mouth a little -kind of like when you see a Fiat 500/Abarth.

Manic · 10-08-2015, 08:29 AM

Fair enough. Obviously not my taste but I can be swayed if it drives superbly.

I hope they mellow out the bubble shape a bit because it may detract too many buyers. We need small fun cars like these to appeal to a broader range if we want them to stick around.

Watch it come with a 2.0L turbo.. dang it Toyota
