Exclamation Toyota S-FR Concept!!

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.

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?

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.

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.

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.
