Toyota Reveals Awesome FT-Se Electric Sports-Car Concept

• This lightweight two-seat EV has just been revealed at the Tokyo auto show.

• The small and sleek car shows the versatility of Toyota’s next electric architecture.

• It could be the one to deliver on Akio Toyoda's promise for "three brothers" in its sports-car family, alongside the GR86 and Supra.

Toyota dropped teaser images about an electric sports-car concept last week, and now the FT-Se has been fully unveiled at the Tokyo auto show. Having seen it up close, we can report both that it looks great, but also that—although there is no confirmation of any intent—aside from some outlandish details, it looks to be ready for production.

While Toyota hasn't released technical details, the fact that the FT-Se was unveiled alongside the FT-3e crossover concept indicates the adaptability of the company’s next-generation EV platform. Toyota has confirmed that both cars will share major components.

Toyota has previously said it is working on a new ultra-compact battery architecture, with cells under 100 mm (3.9 inches) in height. The FT-Se's low, sleek lines suggest that it is designed to accommodate these.
