Presence. That’s what the
Toyota FT-1
has in massive quantities. Even away from the glitz of a motor show stand and in Jay Leno’s ga-raj, there’s an intangible aesthetic draw that keeps your gaze. It may not be conventionally beautiful but the FT-1 doesn’t want for visual impact.
In this video we discover even more about how the FT-1 looks with the car’s Exterior Chief Designer Alex Shen and Interior Chief Designer William Chergosky. There’s discussion about production feasibility (go on Toyota, please) as well as a few details previously missed (see the engine strut brace going into the cabin). Furthermore, it proffers more chances to stare in wonderment at that amazing interior.
Given this video has had over 100,000 views in just two days, it appears plenty of others share our enthusiasm for the Future-Toyota Number 1. And you thought Mid-engine Rear-wheel drive 2-seater was prosaic... Let’s hope this isn’t the last we see of it.
