Toyota continues to be committed to showing that electric mobility can very well contribute to the development of high-performance sports models, the Japanese brand has unveiled in Europe the 100% electric two-seater concept car called FT-Se.
Revealed at the Toyota Kenshiki forum in Brussels, this model created by the Japanese brand’s sports division anticipates the brand’s sports future, incorporating the experience gained by GAZOO Racing to create increasingly better cars through its involvement in motorsport, the FT-Se concept car presents a vision of how a driver’s relationship with their vehicle will evolve and deepen.
FT-Se is an acronym for ‘Future Toyota Sports Electric’, the FT-Se is a high-performance concept car for the carbon-neutral era. It reveals an elegant and low silhouette, characteristic of a pure two-seater sports car, with next-generation Toyota battery electric propulsion technology.
With a height of only 1220 mm and a width of 1895 mm, this model brings back memories of classic sports cars from the past. With a length of 4380 mm, it stands out for its aerodynamic lines, distinct trapezoidal shapes, and evocative rear spoiler.
Toyota reveals that this 100% electric sports car is powered by the latest generation of batteries, with reduced height and high energy density, which are a determining factor for the FT-Se to expand the limits of performance. This technology, combined with the reduction in size and weight of components such as the engine, transmission, and air conditioning unit, opens up new possibilities in advancing the traditional qualities of sports cars, such as the ability to corner with stability, agile behavior, and confident braking.
En el interior, la cabina de última generación cuenta con controles intuitivos y ofrece una experiencia de conducción más envolvente, con un panel de instrumentos bajo que favorece la visibilidad. Los nuevos soportes acolchados para las rodillas protegen al conductor y al pasajero de los impactos generados por las fuerzas G durante la conducción, ya sea en carretera o en el hábitat natural del FT-Se, la pista de carreras.
Además, el FT-Se podrá seguir evolucionando a través de actualizaciones continuas de software, al mismo tiempo que buscará reflejar el estilo de vida y los valores individuales de su conductor a través de la personalización y funciones de conveniencia para un uso tranquilo.
El concept-car FT-Se es una visión de Toyota de cómo un automóvil deportivo eléctrico con batería puede convertirse en un vehículo único para acelerar el pulso del conductor y promover un vínculo a largo plazo.
