NAIAS: Corolla Furia Concept Hints at Toyota’s New U.S-Bound Compact Sedan [Updated]

| 0 comentários


There used to be a time when journalists and the public alike were speculating whether concepts launched at auto shows might indeed make it to production and, if yes, in what form.

Not anymore: automakers are increasingly spilling the beans out themselves. Just like Honda made no secret that its Urban SUV Concept is a small crossover in disguise, even providing a launch date, Toyota revealed what its Furia Concept, which has been teasing before, is all about.

DAMD's Lexus LFT-86 is a Toyota 86 / Scion FR-S in Disguise [w/Video]

| 0 comentários


Even if you wanted to, you can't ignore all the customized and conceptual Toyota 86 sport coupes that are on display at this week's Tokyo Auto Salon in Japan.

We don't know whether Toyota should worry, but a great number of tuners focused their efforts on altering the appearance of the rear-wheel drive coupe that's marketed as the Toyota GT 86 outside of Japan and the Scion FR-S in North America.

While the students at NATS gave the 86 an Audi R8-esque look and Toyota's own Original Accessory sub-brand a classic feel, the always-imaginative crew from Japan's DAMD decided to turn their 86 into a mini-me Lexus LFA calling it the LFT-86.

The cosmetic transformation begins with a new front end that keeps the 86's headlamps but adds a newly styled bumper that mimics the LFA with triangular-shaped side vents, and continues with the side skirts.

Toyota Breaths Some Sportiness into the Prius C with Aqua G Sports Concept

| 0 comentários


Let's face it; the Prius C's looks are about as interesting as a corn on the cob. Nevertheless, Toyota believes it can add some character to its sub-compact hybrid with a new concept that was introduced today at the Tokyo Auto Salon.

The G Sports version of the Aqua, which is what Toyota calls the Prius C in its home market of Japan, retains the standard model's full hybrid powertrain adding numerous  styling bits and a re-tuned suspension into the mix.

That's NATS! Japanese Students Turn Toyota 86 / Scion FR-S into an Audi R8 Lookalike

| 0 comentários


Ah, the creative minds from Japan's Nihon Automobile College (NATS) are back again to surprise us in more ways than one with their work at this week's 2013 Tokyo Auto Salon.

The creators of unusual concepts such as the kei-car version of the Honda NSX back in 2007, took the most popular car of this year's show, the Toyota 86, and turned it into something that resembles an Audi R8, which they then called the R86.

Tokyo Auto Salon: Toyota Mark X G Sports Carbon Roof Concept [w/Video]

| 0 comentários


A host of 86 (Scion FR-S) coupe models marks Toyota's presence at the Tokyo Auto Salon 2013, but the Japanese carmaker also prepared several other models including a prototype of its recently updated Mark X G Sports sedan.

As the name implies, the Mark X G Sports Carbon Roof Concept trades the regular model's steel roof for lightweight carbon fibre top, which Toyota says reduces body weight and increases driving performance.

Meet the Toyota 86 / Scion FR-S GRMN SPORTS FR Concept PLATINUM [w/Video]

| 0 comentários


To be frank, Toyota got it right the first time with the original concepts for the 86 and the FR-S, but for one reason or another, it toned down the design of both models when time came to introduce the production variants.

While no doubt a success, many people have also complained about the lack of power from the Subaru-sourced 2.0-liter naturally aspirated flat four that generates 200-horses.

Toyota's racing and tuning partner Gazoo Racing is looking to rectify both issues with a new concept unveiled today at the Tokyo Auto Salon 2013 named the 'GRMN SPORTS FR Concept PLATINUM'.

On the styling front, Gazoo Racing devised a new front end with different headlamps, bumper and vented hood, while it also revised the rear end of the coupe that gains newly shaped taillights, a bumper with a diffuser and a re-sculptured boot lid housing a ginormous wing.

Two powerful rear-wheel drive sports cars doing donuts around a woman, what could possibly…go wrong?

In all fairness, the two drivers of the Toyota Supra and Nissan Silvia (also called the 200SX) sports coupes were doing a great job applying their rubbery fragrance on the young lady posing in the middle until one of them started looking at the camera instead of the girl.

Why Does Toyota Think that a Pink Crown Athlete Symbolizes its…Athletic Nature? [w/Videos]

| 0 comentários


Perhaps you can help us figure out what’s with the pink-colored 2013 Toyota Crown Athlete that was presented this week in Japan under the soothing sounds of Frank Sinatra's "Strangers in the night", since our knowledge of the Japanese language is limited to words like "Konnichiwa" and "Sayōnara" and the company doesn't allow access to its "Re-Born" website for visitors outside of Japan.

We looked up the available colors for the new Crown Athlete, and pink wasn't among the shades offered on the car's online configurator.

Toyota FJ Cruiser Jumps Sand Dune in Saudi Arabia, Lands Face First and Tumbles Down…

| 0 comentários


The good thing with hot deserts and sand dunes located near highways is that they're easily accessible by drivers feeling adventurous or who simply want to blow off some steam.

On the other hand, this also means that just about anyone driving an SUV or a crossover capable of going off-road can jump off the highway at any time and try whatever comes to mind without taking any precautions or acting in a sensible way.

First Installation of the New iPad Mini in a Car

| 0 comentários


Sure Apple's new iPad Mini might have some shortcomings including its smaller, 7.9-inch non-Retina Display and a steep price tag, but in regards to its footprint, it looks like it could be the perfect fit for automotive applications.

No sooner than it landed on the market, an audio system specialist from Florida named "Soundwaves of Tampa" went ahead to become the first company in the field to install the tablet in a car and specifically, on a 2012 Toyota Corolla sedan.

| 0 comentários


In the colorful and imaginative world of clone cars, the Toyota MR2 is commonly used as a donor model for Ferrari replicas of all sorts, from 360 Modena Coupes and Spiders to Enzo hypercars, but once in a rare while, Maranello's archrival Lamborghini also comes into the picture.

Such is the case of this eBay find from Albertville, Alabama, with a 1991 Toyota MR2 being sacrificed to give birth to a Lamborghini Murcielago replica.

Toyota Land Cruiser Tries to Avoid Traffic Only to Get Stuck on the Train Rails

| 0 comentários


Unless the featured driver of this Toyota Land Cruiser is completely drunk out of his or her mind (something that may be the case anyway…), we will have to take the videographer's explanation for this bizarre incident as granted.

What we are told in the YouTube clip's description, is that the driver of the Japanese SUV tried to use his vehicle's off-road prowess to overcome the traffic at a stop light by jumping on the train (or tram) rails.

Toyota GT 86 aka the Scion FR-S Fails Miserably in Moose Test in Lithuania

| 0 comentários


We all know how the first generation of the Mercedes-Benz A-Class and more recently, the Jeep Grand Cherokee (though, Chrysler did question the results), faired in the now infamous moose (or elk) test pioneered by Swedish car magazine Teknikens Värld.

While the Swedes emulated the presence of a moose with cones, in Lithuania (or so out tipster told us), a similar test was performed with a more pleasing to the eye replica of the large mammal.

Toyota Tundra Pick-Up Tows Endeavour Space Shuttle to the California Science Center

| 0 comentários


Its official designation was the OV-105, but the world came to know it as the Endeavour Space Shuttle. It was built from spare parts to replace the Challenger, which tragically disintegrated a mere 73 minutes after launch from the Kennedy Space Center on January 28, 1986.

Along with the Discovery and Atlantis, which took part in the STS (Space Transportation system) missions, and the Enterprise that was used for initial testing, the Endeavour is (after a second tragedy struck in 2003 when Columbia exploded on re-entry) what remains of the U.S. Space Shuttle program, which was terminated last year after three decades and 135 missions.

Ukrainian Driver and Passenger See Nothing, Hear Nothing, Know Nothing after Crash…

| 0 comentários


If you were to begin viewing this video from the 20-second mark and on, you would be excused to think that the driver and his passenger simply parked their beaten up Lada Riva Estate (VAZ-2107) in the middle of the road and left to go on to their work or wherever else they were heading to.

Watch the clip from the start, though, and you will be surprised to learn that a couple of seconds earlier, they had just smashed into the black Toyota Land Cruiser you see sitting behind the Lada!

Gundam Style 2013 Toyota Auris Hatchback Looks Kinda Cool

| 0 comentários


In case you read that wrong, it's 'Gundam style' as in the Japanese animated television series about giant robots, and not 'Gangnam Style' as in the music video by South Korean rapper PSY.

The new 2013 Toyota Auris was selected for a cosmetic tune dedicated to the anime cartoon, with the Japanese automaker's in-house tuning arm Modellista taking responsibility for the transformation.
