In the run-up to this year\u2019s Japan Mobility Show (formerly the Tokyo Motor Show), the most buzz-worthy teasers came from Toyota
\n TM,
\n +0.70%<\/bg-quote>.<\/span>
\n The company\u00a0showed off several angles\u00a0of a low-slung, sleek,\u00a0Supra-like electric sports coupe with the GR logo worn by Toyota\u2019s sportiest cars.<\/p>\n

The FT-Se is here. And it\u2019s worthy of the buzz.<\/p>\n

\n

Officially, just a concept<\/strong><\/h2>\n

The Toyota FT-Se Concept is a concept car \u2014 a design study meant to show off a direction future designs might take. The model is not officially headed for production.<\/p>\n

But the concepts Toyota brought to this year\u2019s show all seem fairly close to production-ready. The FT-Se shares the angular, vent-heavy design theme of the current GR Supra, but it\u2019s fully electric.<\/p>\n

Few details \u2014 check that. No details.<\/strong><\/h2>\n

Toyota has offered no mechanical details beyond that, so we\u2019re left to speculate. Many electric vehicles come as either rear- or all-wheel-drive since engineers can easily pack small electric motors onto one or both axles. Engineers pushed the FT-Se\u2019s wheels as far to the corners as any exotic car\u2019s, where grippy AWD would give it monstrous high-speed cornering stability.<\/p>\n

In previous teasers, Toyota revealed that the car would have special knee pads to protect the driver during high-G corners.<\/p>\n

Toyota, through its Lexus luxury marque, has been public about its plans for a stick shift that will work with EVs. The car cries for one, though we\u2019re sad to say that would probably slow it down.<\/p>\n

But it might be real<\/strong><\/h2>\n

That\u2019s all we know for now. Most of what Toyota has to offer are photos, not specifications.<\/p>\n

But former CEO (and current board chair) Akio Toyoda has spoken about his desire for a third sports car to slot alongside the\u00a0GR86\u00a0and GR Supra. Toyoda has stepped down from running the company day-to-day, so his so-called \u201cthree brothers\u201d may not be a Toyota priority.<\/p>\n

But the FT-Se would give Toyota an electric halo product at a time when investors have pushed the company to plan more aggressively for the EV era. It\u2019s not outlandish to think that this might appear, albeit in Supra-like-low-volume, on Toyota sales floors.<\/p>\n
