TOYOTA FT-HS

The FT-HS Concept is designed to showcase Toyota's leadership in hybrid powertrain technology. Underhood is a next-generation performance hybrid system built around Toyota's punchy 3.5-liter V-6 and capable of delivering approximately 400 horses. Performance targets include a 0-to-60-mph time in the 4.0-second range. Toyota says the FT-HS is a vision for a 21st-century sports car: a sports car that's eco-friendly and fun to drive, as fast as a Ferrari, yet as fuel-efficient as a four-cylinder compact.

Styled at Toyota's Calty facility in Irvine, Calif., the sharp edges at the corners of the car are designed to manage airflow and the full undertray with rear venturis works with the unique combination taillight/rear wing to provide a measure of downforce. At the rear, floating C-pillars direct airflow into vents to cool the hybrid system's battery pack.
