The Toyota FT-HS hybrid sports concept is set to make its grand debut at the 2007 North American International Auto Show. Developed by Calty, Toyota's North American-based research and design center in Newport Beach, Calif., alongside the California-based Advanced Product Strategy Group, the concept was devised to answer the question "What is a suitable sports car for the 21st Century?".
The FT-HS is sure to excite drivers with its lightweight materials, sleek profile, and revolutionary hybrid powertrain. It promises a zero-to-sixty acceleration time of just four seconds, powered by around 400-horsepower from a V6, 3.5L-engine. This two-plus-two concept is a front-engine, rear-drive sports car that captures the necessary elements of a sports car while being highly efficient and eco-friendly.
According to Kevin Hunter, vice president of Calty Design Research, "Drivers today are not satisfied with cars that are simply fast. In addition to driving enjoyment, today's drivers are concerned about safety, ecology and social responsibility." The FT-HS promises to provide all of the above, while being released at a mid-priced market position that makes it an "attainable exotic" with 21st century performance.
