TAS 2011: Toyota concept is the FT-86's little sister

We have a previously vociferously with the production version of the Toyota FT-86 more than we remember not care, but we officially launched a new love. Meet the Boxer Coupé younger sister - the TES T-Sport Concept. If our Google Translator is to believe the car allegedly by an internal survey of the type of Toyota engineers would most like to see built were asked. Apparently, the overwhelming answer was a fun to drive, affordable sports car.

Color us stunned.

From there, the Toyota Engineering Society set about crafting their vision of a low dollar machine that was able to slather a smile on your face. Power comes thanks to a 1.3-liter four-cylinder engine with 110 hp and the thing hits the scales at less than 2,000 pounds. That sounds like a winning combination for us. The T-Sport Concept with some very funky styling, but we would certainly not hold that against a would-be competitors, Mazda MX-5. As with most great things, that hail from auto shows, the probability is low that the T-Sport will ever production. Go to guide on auto to get a closer look at the two-seater.

Toyota and Lexus show off at Tokyo Auto Salon

You have seen the Toyota iQ GRMN Racing Concept (lucky you!), and now it's time, your attention to the rest of the Japanese automaker biscuits to deflect off at the Tokyo Auto Salon show.

First is the Toyota Prius G Sport Concept could love the kind of gaping maw only the Cylons Mama features. Rounding out the offering is the Toyota Auris TRD GT Concept, which we think actually looks kinda nifty, with its subdued body kit and dazzlingly bright yellow color.

Lexus was not from the process either the left and the machine probably more interesting than its mother ship. There is the F-Sport CT 200h (a future production model) at the center, with its unique alloy wheels, body kit and Recaro seats, which is connected to the IS F Club Circuit Sports Racer and a number of Club Performance Accessories for the IS F that Front and rear spoiler and a carbon fiber hood.

Last but not least, the Gazoo Racing Lexus LFA supercar that last year drove the 24 hour Nürburgring race. See both types of vehicle madness in our high-res image galleries below, then you see all details in the press releases after the break.
