The Fine-N

The Fine-S

The CS&S

The CS&S is a 4-wheel-drive mid-engine 2+2 sports car. Employing Toyota's Hybrid Synergy Drive,� an electric motor drives the front wheels, while a gas engine and electric motor in combination drive the rear. CS&S also unveils "Toyota Space Touch," where the driver selects functions by "touching" holographic projections.

The PM

The PM is a personal mobility vehicle that "fits like a glove" to create a feeling of unity between the driver and the vehicle. Cutting-edge vehicle-to-vehicle communications technologies are employed under the concept of "meeting, linking and hanging out together".

The Alessandro Volta

In 1800, Alessandro Volta arranged zinc and copper discs in a column and invented the battery. 204 years later, Toyota has electrified automotive history with the first high-performance hybrid, named in his honor. The Giugiaro-designed carbon-fiber body seats three people abreast and features "drive-by-wire" controls, allowing you to position the steering wheel and pedals in front of any one of them. And the Volta's 408-hp Hybrid Synergy Drive� (a 3.3-liter V6 with an electric motor for each axle) not only delivers 435 miles on a 13.7-gallon tank, but 0-60 acceleration in a mere four seconds. Somewhere, Count Volta is smiling.

all crap except for the last one

 

[iGod]

exactly what are you basing that decision on? the quick pics i posted? holographic technology in a roadster is crap? smart link between cars is crap? what are you thinking?

 

[Drift Motion]

iono, randomly decided
just that i dont really like concept cars, all those rounded edge, so on, but i cant say all concept cars, theres a few exception

 

[th3kill3r]

Now i got thoughts of the future. Hope cars don't be turning out like those conecpt pics.

 

[nY1018]

id totally rock the fine-s

 

[iGod]

^^^ no doubt. and i am seriously into the PM. i think that would be a fine thing to have in the garage, and there would be meets and clubs and rallys i am certain. think of how interesting it would be. it would be a cult. like ours. but even more quirky.

 

[nY1018]

lol, just imagine getting rear-ended in the PM. o man i want one

 

[moriarty]

i will be the first person to test drive one.

PM is teh roxor-est

 

[basilisk4]

The only one that I have any interest in is the Volta, and it doesn't matter much because it will never come out.

 

[iGod]

[Azrael]

But he's right....there's no market for a 450hp sports car that gets good gas milage. I know, it's sad

Was it? I mean, obviously someone had to conceptualize it, but these "concept vehicles" never seem to come to fruition...

 

[Zygote55]

The Viper, PT Cruiser, and Plymoth Prowler are some examples of concept vehicles that saw showroom floors.

 

[iGod]

and about 6 years ago, toyota introduced the bBx concept, which is strikingly similar to the current bB and xB.

Concept vehicles are usually used as design exercises to establish future styling directions, features, drivetrain layouts and brand identity. The concept car is the extreme version of the production car to be. While i think the cCX was an ugly concept car you can see that it explored a lot of the features that made it into the tC. Such as; a high beltline, all glass roof, styling lines, interior layout, etc.
