Also seems like Akio is more excited for the in-house builds than the collabs lately |

Now its "Toyota doesnt make its own sports cars!" I bet the next one is "Toyota is overcharging for its in house sports cars! and us mere mortals cannot afford it!!!" or "Toyota is doing <iconic Toyota car nameplate> all wrong!" Theres also the favorite of EV snobs: "Toyota is well known to be anti-EV's! they're going to fall so far behind the times and I cant wait until their unethical oil sucking company goes bankrupt! when everyone has gone EV and Toyota has no one left to sell gasoline cars to!" |

I mean, what the hell does Toyota know? All they've done is become the largest automaker (depending on when you're looking) with high sales across multiple continents, multiple environments with a variety of different infrastructure.... |

While it's clearly a concept, Akio does talk about wanting to make a car that wins in motorsport and then making it into a production car at 1:08. So you never know. The end of the video does also mention "customer motorsports." So I wonder if this might be something along the lines of Porsche's cup cars, made by Toyota and sold to racing teams, with a production car to come down the line.

Pretty unimaginative wheels for a concept

Oh and they better make sure they get early ones out to the aftermarket well ahead of time so that people can change every single design aspect of the car before they even buy it!

That said, it is a motorsports concept. There aren't that many wheel designs in motorsports. Physics simply doesn't allow for it if one's goal is to win. And I'm alright with that in this case.

I don't mean this as a negative, but that front end reminds me of the Gen 10 Civic Type R (shape of the headlights and grille).

They are running out of design cues so everything pretty much will remind people of something at this point. They are only so many angles to go around.
