TMC to Display 3 Concepts, F1 Car at Tokyo Motor Show

TOYOTA MOTOR CORPORATION (TMC) announces that three concept vehicles and the TF109 Formula One racing car are to highlight its Toyota-brand exhibit for the 41st Tokyo Motor Show. The show is open to the public from October 24 to November 4 at Makuhari Messe in Makuhari, Chiba Prefecture.

TMC views motor shows as an opportunity to highlight new, automotive possibilities, and so over the years has used them to unveil a wide variety of concept vehicles and groundbreaking technologies.

This year, the Toyota-brand exhibit continues its theme from the previous Tokyo Motor Show: "Harmonious Drive — A New Tomorrow for People and the Planet". This theme expresses TMC’s commitment to making cars that brim with individuality but that are also in harmony with society.

The Toyota-brand display will include a compact rear-wheel-drive sports vehicle that embodies the joy of driving and the pleasure of ownership — the fundamental appeal of motor vehicles. The display will also feature environmentally friendly concept vehicles including a plug-in hybrid vehicle (PHV), the type of vehicle considered best suited for widespread use to effectively meet CO2 emissions restrictions and the diversification of energy, and an electric vehicle (EV) suitable for short-distance trips.

Toyota vehicles to be displayed the 41st Tokyo Motor Show:

• FT-86 Concept (future Toyota 86) - a compact, rear-wheel drive sports vehicle
• PRIUS PLUG-IN HYBRID Concept - a plug-in hybrid vehicle
• FT-EV II (future Toyota electric vehicle two) - an urban electric vehicle
• TF109 - a Formula One racing car
