Toyota S-FR concept unveiled at the 2015 Tokyo motor show
Could this become the world's most affordable sports car?
Toyota's S-FR concept harks back to the Toyota 800 of the 1960s and is part of a promised trilogy with the 86 and a Supra replacement. The near production-ready lightweight sports car will be priced below the Toyota 86 and Mazda MX-5. The rear-drive two-door is powered by a modest 1.5-litre engine linked to a six-speed manual and will tip the scales at less than a tonne — a proven recipe for cheap driving thrills.
Toyota says the car aims to "make a whole new generation fall in love with driving".
Other cars on the stand include a new hydrogen-powered concept dubbed the FCV-plus and the slightly kooky Kikai, which looks like a stripped-down hot rod.
