The new Toyota ft1 debuted in the Detroit Motor-show. It was a surprise that Toyota was able to feature a sports car given that its main production line involves budget friendly automobiles.
The vehicle was custom made red in color. It was both attractive and created the stage for stiff competition in the auto-industry .Spectators termed the sports as stylish and elegant to rival stronger players such as Mercedes, Audi and BMW which have dominated the industry.
Toyota is known for its middle income automobiles targeting the middle class buyers.A shift to producing elegant and attractive cars has raised eyebrows.Analysts predict stiff competition for highly expensive cars.
Design and features.
The Toyota FT1 is a concept car yet to be developed. The specs have not been released yet, since Toyota has taken a conservative approach before full production .At the event, the engine had valves indicating high power. The front and back end consisted of aerodynamics vents for cooling both the engine and underneath the FT1.I was however skeptical of this design, when I thought about drag which could reduce its speed drastically.
The design however resembled the Supra.Toyota also admitted to have borrowed some of the features from previous cars including the Lexus and corolla.
conclusion
Good start for Toyota in their new field hope to see better models.
