Toyota's hot concept may become a reality after all, and maybe with an electric 'manual' transmission too.
Let's face it: no kid hangs a poster of an electric crossover up on their bedroom wall. But they might just do that for a hot-looking electric sports car, like the Toyota FT-Se Concept that debuted at the Japan Mobility Show this week. But the car's own designer admitted to InsideEVs that the FT-Se may be more than just a dream, and it might even be coming sooner than we think.
' He demurred at the idea that the FT-Se had anything to do with the MR2, or even the Supra, though they both share a Gurney-style bubble roof; this one seems meant to stand on its own. Except that when I sat on a roundtable interview with Toyota Chairman Akio Toyoda for Road & Track this summer, he confirmed Toyota's GR performance division was getting its own standalone EV. Considering this designer works with GR, it could very well be this car.
