A couple of months back we revealed that Toyota will show their concept coupe which many has dubbed it as the next generation Supra at the Detroit Auto Show. As with most concept cars, it seems to hit closer to home especially when we get to see an actual model of it. And the result of that is the Toyota FT-1.

Designed in the USA by CALTY Design Research, Toyota has definitely created something which stands out of their usual run of the mill family sedans. Why does it stand out? Even locally here many consumers have known Toyota to be a company which has conservative designs and have that mantra that if it ain’t broke, don’t fix it. This however just shouts “I want to stand out” amongst the crowd. Out of the entire design, I love how the wing mirrors were designed.
