Las pequeñas puertas se abren y se cierran como el aleteo de un insecto, lo que le da el apodo de "coche insecto". Toyota quería que el Insect representara cómo un insecto vuela libremente por las ciudades. Un agente virtual en el Toyota Smart Center reconoce la voz del conductor y configura automáticamente varias funciones en el coche, como las luces antiniebla, la radio o incluso la configuración del destino. El Insect también se puede vincular a la casa del conductor con el Toyota Smart Center, lo que proporciona control remoto para las luces, el sistema de calefacción, ventilación y aire acondicionado e incluso las cerraduras. [16] [17] [18]

Está basado en el Toyota Yaris y el Toyota Corolla Hatchback . El vehículo incluye luces LED y puertas elegantes, lo que lo convierte en un automóvil conceptual llamativo. Sin embargo, el nombre Qin significa "querido", por lo que se confunde si el nombre real es Toyota Dear Dear. [61]
El Toyota Camatte es un concept car eléctrico presentado en el Salón del Juguete de Tokio de junio de 2012 en lugar del más habitual Salón del Automóvil de Tokio . [62] El nombre "Camatte" proviene de la palabra japonesa "kamau", que significa "cuidado". [63]

El Toyota i-Road es un concept car que se mostró por primera vez en el Salón del Automóvil de Ginebra de marzo de 2013. Tiene un tren motriz eléctrico y sus dos motores de 2 kW (2,7 hp) son alimentados por una batería de iones de litio que se puede cargar usando un enchufe doméstico. Una carga tiene una autonomía de 50 km (31 mi) y una velocidad máxima de 45 km/h (28 mph). Está diseñado para uso urbano. [72] No tiene emisiones en el punto de uso. El vehículo está diseñado con 3 puertas y 2 asientos en tándem en una carrocería completamente cerrada.
Car and Driver describe al Toyota i-Road como "una especie de cruce entre un coche, una motocicleta y un elegante carrito de golf". [73] Es similar al concepto de una motocicleta pero tiene tres ruedas. [74] Toyota ha desarrollado lo que llama "Active Lean", una nueva tecnología que ayuda a proporcionar la fuerza centrípeta necesaria para hacer que el vehículo gire en una esquina y suaviza el andar sobre terreno irregular. [75] "Active Lean" funciona utilizando computadoras de a bordo en cada lado de la suspensión delantera para calcular el grado de inclinación necesario según la información del mecanismo de dirección, el ángulo del giroscopio y la velocidad. Para compensar las condiciones de la carretera, se ajusta una rueda delantera hacia arriba o hacia abajo según sea necesario para estabilizar el vehículo. [74] [76] Según Wired , esta tecnología "le permite pasar por las curvas sin volcar". [76]
Toyota se refiere a él como un "vehículo de movilidad personal". [73] El ancho es de 850 mm (33,5 pulgadas), aproximadamente el mismo ancho que una motocicleta, y cuatro de estos vehículos se pueden estacionar en un solo espacio de estacionamiento. [77] Tiene capacidad para dos personas en una cabina cerrada que protege a los ocupantes del medio ambiente. [75] Su radio de giro es de aproximadamente 2,7 m (9 pies).
En la actualidad, el Toyota i-Road es un concept car pensado para uso urbano en el futuro, y no hay planes para su producción general en este momento, [74] [76] aunque se anunció en marzo de 2013 que se desplegarían 70 i-Road en Grenoble como parte de un proyecto de movilidad de última milla . [78] El proyecto se gestionará dentro de un club de coches existente . [79] El i-Road también formará parte del proyecto similar ha:mo de Toyota en Toyota City, Japón. [80]

The Toyota FT-1 is a concept car unveiled at the January 2014 North American International Auto Show.[89] 'FT' stands for Future Toyota. While '1' means number one or the ultimate one. Little is known about this new concept car; other than that it has a front engine and rear wheel drive layout. Toyota did also state their new concept car draws inspiration from Toyota's past sports cars like the 2000GT, Supra, MR-2, and 2007 FT-HS concept car. Toyota did not state whether the FT-1 would use the Supra name, or if it was even bound for production. However, Toyota did say if the FT-1 is approved from production to expect a price tag of around US$60,000.[90]
Work on the FT-1 began nearly two years prior to the presentation. Kevin Hunter, the president of Calty Design Research in California stated that Lexus had the LFA and Scion has the FR-S, but Toyota has nothing.[citation needed] Mr. Hunter then pitched his idea to Toyota's CEO, Akio Toyoda for a halo flagship sports car for the Toyota brand. After receiving approval to build a concept, Calty designers began to sketch ideas and different concepts. In the end, a front engine rear wheel drive layout was chosen. Toyota has not disclosed the cost of building its FT-1 concept, but it is noted that concept cars usually cost around a US$1 million to build. Hunter had stated that the FT-1 is still in the concept stage with no current production plans. He added that if the public's reaction is positive it would only help to move the FT-1 from concept to production and that anything is possible in the future. Alex Shen, the studio chief designer, also hinted at a US$60,000 price tag. He was quoted saying, "It's a Toyota, it ought to be affordable."[91]
The FT-1's overall design was eventually incorporated into the fifth generation Toyota Supra (J29/DB), which launched in 2019 for the 2020 model year.[92] However, much of the design had to have updated proportions and dimensions during co-development alongside BMW, due to being adapted around the significantly smaller BMW Z4 (G29) platform's shared hardpoints.[93][94] Additionally, Toyota's goal of a price tag around US$60,000 for the production version of the FT-1 was achieved, with the fifth generation Supra being priced at US$49,990 starting MSRP along with a front engine rear wheel drive layout as proposed.[95]
A second FT-1 was created and shown at the Monterey Jet Center in Monterey, California in August 2014. It was painted in a gray colour rather than the first car's red colour to shift perception of the vehicle.[96]
To commemorate the 15th anniversary of the popular video game series, Gran Turismo 6 will feature a festival called "Vision Gran Turismo" (name reused from early GT5 trailer), featuring concept cars designed for the game by top automobile companies. Toyota created a unique design of the FT-1 concept called the FT-1 VGT, featuring more aggressive and race inspired body work similar to the GT500 machines from the Super GT series.[97] A Gr.3 version, based on FIA GT3 regulations, was later created for the game's sequel, Gran Turismo Sport.
The Toyota C-HR Concept is a concept car unveiled at the October 2014 Paris Motor Show.[99] It represents a styling exercise for a 2-door compact crossover SUV. An updated more production-intent version was shown at the September 2015 Frankfurt Motor Show,[100] now with additional rear doors and gray paint. A third version in red was shown at the November 2015 LA Auto Show as the Scion CH-R Concept, with styling closer to the original 2014 concept, but with rear doors like the 2015 Toyota concept. The Scion concept was also displayed at the 2016 Montreal International Auto Show and the New York International Auto Show, but as a Toyota due to the phase out of the Scion brand.[101][102][103] The production model was launched in November 2016.[101]
The Toyota FV (also known as the FV2) is a concept car introduced at the 2014 Geneva Motor Show. The car has no steering wheel to grab hold of, so instead, the FV is operated by the driver shifting their body weight, intuitively moving the car forwards or backwards, left and right. It is connected to an intelligent transport system technology, which means you stay safe while having fun. A wide variety of local safety information captured from other vehicles and traffic infrastructure aids the driver of the FV to deal with dangers such as blind spots at junctions. By incorporating technology under development in the Toyota Heart Project, both the driver and the FV can grow together. Using both voice and image recognition to determine the driver's mood, the car will accumulate driving history to suggest driving routes and even determine the driver's skill level to assist in driving technique. Also, to give your FV2 the personal touch, its body colour and exterior display can be changed to match your mood. It can reach speeds of up to 160 km/h (100 mph), and has a price tag of US$45,000.[104]
The 86 Tomica Concept is a concept car revealed in 2015. Takara Tomy sells a scale model police car based on the Toyota 86 under their Tomica brand, even though the police do not actually use the 86. It was built by Toyota Technocraft on behalf of Tomica as a full-size version of the scale model. The interior is mostly stock, except for the addition of a roof light switch, swapping the two-tone seat covers for plain black covers and no digital radio. The exterior uses the same paint scheme and roof lights as real police cars but adds a small, red Tomica logo on the rear.[105][106][107]

The car is planned to last up to the year 3000 before the wood is expected to be needed to replace. It has a top speed of 45 km/h (28 mph), and a range of 26 km (16 miles). It is not street-legal anywhere, but close to legal in Italy and Japan.[135]
The special emblem on the cars hood shows a flower blooming, representing time evolving. The wood around the door mirrors, seats, steering wheel, and body banding lines have gotten a lacquer finish. The seats have been made to feel like a wooden park bench, but with leather. It also includes a "100 year meter", an always ticking timer counting the 100 years until the car will need a wood change.[136]
Another main material is aluminum. Aluminum was used to make wheel caps, the steering wheel, and the seat frames, to bring some contrast to the car.[137]
The car also gives the feeling of a boat on the water, enhancing the family-vacation vibe. The car can seat 2 people. Kenji Tsuji, the designer, said, "When we created the Setsuna, we envisaged a family pouring its love into it over generations so that the car gains an irreplaceable value. Continuous development is possible in the form of bonds between the car and the family, like the growth rings of a tree. To proceed with the development of a car utilizing the appeal of wood, we directly spoke with experts with wide-ranging knowledge, including carpenters specializing in temple and shrine construction and ship's carpenters. Furthermore, during this project, Sumitomo Forestry, a company that fully understands our concept, shared their knowledge of wood construction with us, and together we engaged in various types of joint development from the early stages, including wood selection and proposals for processing techniques and assembly methods. While we used wood as the main material, we also poured lots of time and passion into the car itself with our colleagues, creating a prototype and evaluating it so that the car would offer basic performance in the form of driving feel and comfort. By displaying the Setsuna, which was created with these hopes in mind and receiving a wide range of opinions, we believe that we can further improve this concept. One piece of feedback that we received in particular was the hope that we would incorporate this concept into car manufacturing in the future."
At the festival, Toyota build an exhibit using the same wood as the car, where visitors walk through a wooden "tunnel". A large neon sign saying Setsuna greets visitors as they approach the exhibit.[138]

At 2,830 mm (111.4 in) long, it is 135 mm (5.3 in) longer than a Smart Fortwo. The car's rear track is half the width of the front, and the rear wheels do the driving. The connection between the rear wheels and the body is hinged, allowing the body and the front wheels to lean into turns by up to 10 degrees—an idea Toyota calls Active Lean technology, which it previously explored in the Toyota i-Road concept. The two butterfly doors take a section of the floor with them when they open, allowing for easier access to the central front seat, which swivels. The i-TRIL has a steering yoke but no pedals, and a head-up display replaces a traditional gauge cluster.[146]
