Toyota's radical Compact Sports & Specialty Concept Car on Body

This design car toyotas radical compact sports and specialty looks simple car modern for future. i think this concept car toyota is very futuristic car. A radical Toyota sports car featuring a hybrid petrol-electric drive-train and a host of innovative interior features was one of the stars of the media day at the 2005 Melbourne International Motor Show. The CS&S (Compact Sports & Specialty) concept was designed to demonstrate the sporting potential of Toyota's Hybrid Synergy Drive technology, as featured in the second-generation Prius production car. With its midship-mounted next-generation Toyota Hybrid System THS II based on the Hybrid Synergy Drive concept and an E-Four (electric 4-wheel drive) system, the CS&S is designed to provide outstanding environmental performance and driving exhilaration.

In the CS&S a mid-mounted 1.5 litre petrol engine drives the rear wheels while the 50kW high-output motor electric motor drives the front wheels. The arrangement gives the CS&S the extra traction of four wheel drive combined with vigorous acceleration thanks to the high torque characteristics of the electric motor. Four-wheel control provided by the E-Four system and the midship positioning of the hybrid power plant further enhance handling and road-holding performance. Toyota says the CS&S will accelerate to 100 km/h in 8.6 seconds. Despite the quick performance, the concept car's Hybrid Synergy Drive uses less fuel and has lower exhaust emissions than an equivalent conventionally-engined sports car.

The CS&S's innovations extend to the interior which features a revolutionary human-machine interface called Toyota Space Touch (TST). The TST system uses a series of holographic projections which the driver "touches" to control functions such as air conditioning, audio, satellite navigation and email. The car's seating system is flexible, allowing the CS&S to be converted from a two-seater to a 2+2 by the removal of canopies behind the two front seats. In addition, the front passenger seat has been designed in such a way that it can be rotated to cover the entire cockpit area like a hard tonneau cover, thereby boosting anti-theft security

Toyota Unveils Compact Dedicated Hybrid Concept

DETROIT, January 11, 2010---Toyota Motor Sales (TMS), U.S.A, Inc., today unveiled the FT-CH dedicated hybrid concept at the North American International Auto Show (NAIAS) in Detroit. The FT-CH is a concept that would address Toyota’s stated strategy to offer a wider variety of conventional hybrid choices to its customers, as it begins to introduce plug-in hybrids (PHVs) and battery electrics (BEVs) in model year 2012, and hydrogen fuel cell vehicles (FCHVs) in 2015 in global markets.

“Within the next 10 to 20 years, we will not only reach peak oil we will enter a period where demand for all liquid fuels will exceed supply,” said Jim Lentz, TMS president. “A century after the invention of the automobile, we must re-invent it with powertrains that significantly reduce or eliminate the use of conventional petroleum fuels. One of many alternatives is through what is commonly called the electrification of the automobile. By far, the single most successful example of this has been the gas-electric hybrid.

The CH stands for compact hybrid as in compact class and it’s a concept that can best be defined by comparing it with the mid-size class Prius. The FT-CH captures the spirit and functionality of a car that thrives in the inner-city environment; sized right to be nimble, responsive and maneuverable.

Winglet – Toyota’s Segway rival

New Concept Toyota CAr Segway Design

Design Concept Toyota Car Segway Ideas

Segway has been very popular all over the world. But Japan’s moto giant Toyota expect to release a new similar product named Winglet to compete with Segway. Although the top speed of winglet, which comes with three sizes, is only 3.7MPH (versus the Segway’s 12.5 MPH) it is enough for the indoor traffic and is expected to be very popular.

Cool Extreme Sports Lovers Car - Toyota/Billabong Ultimate Venza

Check out this cool Toyota Billabong extreme sports lovers car mash up called the Ultimate Venza. This new project was started by Toyota Motor Sales, USA, Inc. which teamed with Billabong and Street Image to create the perfect active sports vehicle capable to take you the beach, lake, mountains, skate park or anywhere in between and have a blast.

This 2009 Toyota Venza was modified by Street Image in order to support top extreme athletes at future competitions. A new and aggressive custom body kit was added and this includes a unique Toyota/Billabong exterior paint design, fender flares and alloy wheels. The custom roof rack was designed by the manufacturer to accommodate surf, snow and wake boards.

Street Image also installed a front and rear hitch receiver and Grinch Winch in order to pull wake boarders into waves or snow boarders and skaters across flat land to a jump or rail. The kit is completed by the large Enkei wheels wrapped in Nitto tires. Behind these wheels, we have a new Toyota Racing Development (TRD) big brake kit that was added to provide superior traction and stopping power when driving off the beaten path or to the beach. Inside, the Ultimate Venza features genuine Billabong materials and construction: the seats are custom upholstered with wet suit materials and incorporate Billabong’s latest design scheme and colors while the headliner is an artistic color collage depicting Billabong athletes in action.

Also, the interior modifications includes “living” features that, according to the manufacturer, they will allow the athletes to conduct many everyday endeavors while on the go or at competition sites. One of the most interesting features would be the custom heated shower system with a 10 gallon capacity for rinsing off after surfing. A Verizon Wireless access point router was also installed, which will allow athletes to receive up-to-date surf or snow reports and other important information. Of course, the car needed a state-of-the-art audio and video equipment from Fujitsu Ten’s legendary Eclipse brand that features a multi-media DVD head unit, iPod interface, head rest-mounted LCD monitors, 18 speakers and 2,200 watts of power.

Toyota has presented new big sedan Mark X

Toyota has presented in Japan new generation of big sedan Mark X.

New Mark X, as well as all its predecessors, will receive a drive gear on a rear axle (thus the buyer can order and all-wheel drive transmission). The car hardly became larger – now the length of "Mark X" makes 4730 mm. Well and under cowl Mark X there will be two engines. The 6-cylinder unit in volume of 2,5 l which gives out 203 h.p. and 243 Nm became base. Also there will be a 318-strong unit in volume already 3,5 l (its twisting moment makes 380 Nm). Together with motors new "automatic machine" with six steps will work. In Japan Mark X will cost from $29500 to $42000.

Frankfurt Motor Show 2009: New Land Cruiser Prado!

On a motor show in Frankfurt Toyota have presented for the first time long-awaited Land Cruiser Prado new generation which has received an intrafactory designation «a series 150» (in Europe this model is known as simply Land Cruiser).

To say about that is essentially new model, nevertheless it would be too courageous. Yes, the car has got prettier, and is very serious, however, in its basis the old platform from «series 120». Also it is absolutely normal situation – in a case with off-road cars to develop each time a new platform has no economic sense. Besides the old basis has appeared rather successful, and in it still there was a huge stock for modernisation.



The interior of a new off-road car became more solid. Now in a luggage compartment there are two cleaned armchairs together a modest sofa which should be fastened to a board (thanks to it the car became not eight, and seven-seater). Also it is possible to notice that henceforth Land Cruiser Prado it will be possible to equip 3- zones climate control, and the separate air conditioner begins to serve passengers of the second row.





From the technical point of view in Prado there is nothing essentially new. Unless henceforth this model will be equipped with system KDSS which on impassability disconnects antiroll bars, improving flotation ability. Will start to put on the car and electronic system Multi-Terrain Select of new generation which will supervise degree of a wheel slip depending on covering type. Under cowl Land Cruiser Prado of new generation there is a well-known 6-cylinder motor in volume of 4,0 l which now gives out 276 h.p. (earlier there were 249 h.p.). The company to it will be made by an old 3,0-litre diesel engine (171 h.p.). Besides, in Japan the car with the four-cylinder petrol motor (163 h.p.) will start to be on sale. Gear boxes too standard – six-step "mechanics" or five-step "automatic machine".

Toyota Mark X First information!

Mark X will be good. It still remains to one of the greatest sedans of the Japanese mark who will possess besides uncommon appearance. It is supposed that under cowl Mark X new generation will start to put two new petrol motors: 2,5 l which will give out 203 h.p., and 3,5 l.

Last cursor with six cylinders will receive already 318 h.p. And thanks to tuning from company Modellista, the 3,5-litre unit will already please the driver of 360 h.p.

Toyota confirms - again - plans to build production plug-in hybrid vehicles

Plug-in hybrids and lithium-ion batteries are the Next Big Things and Toyota, it would seem from the recent flurry of electric car news, might be losing its grip on first place in the hybrid/lithium-ion battery race.
Lithium-ion batteries developed in a joint project between Mercedes-Benz, BMW and Continental (who will make the batteries) are used in the 2009 Mercedes-Benz S400 BlueHybrid as well as a BMW 7-Series hybrid concept car, and will be the sole power source for the pure electric Mini E. Of course, General Motors has the much ballyhooed 2010 Chevrolet Volt almost ready for primetime.

So has Toyota been resting on its Prius?

Not hardly, says Irv Miller, veep of Toyota’s American corporate communications. Says Miller, “Let me be clear about this: We believe strongly in the viability of plug-in hybrids in some applications, and in their use of lithium-ion batteries. We believe so strongly, in fact, that we plan to begin production of PHEVs late next year.”

Toyota has a joint venture (60 per cent owned by Toyota) with electronics giant Panasonic, which will begin production-line assembly of lithium-ion batteries developed entirely in-house.

Toyota, along with Advanced Power and Energy Program at the University of California, Irvine (UCI) and the Institute of Transportation Studies at the University of California, Berkeley (UCB), began a test of plug-in hybrids equipped with nickel-metal-hydride (NmH) batteries to accumulate real-word data in late 2007. However, the NmH batteries, even in an oversized battery pack, gave only about seven miles of pure electric operation, and as such was not intended for general distribution.

While conceding that seven miles would be adequate for most weekend trips, Toyota still almost frustratedly cited the advantage of its current hybrid system as being independent of the extension cord.

So as announced by Katsuaki Watanabe, president of Toyota Motor Corp., at last year’s Detroit Auto Show, Toyota will build and deliver what he called "a significant fleet" of plug in hybrids to fleet users in the latter part of 2009.

Toyota will introduce the third generation of Prius at the Detroit auto show in January, and (purposefully?) leaked photos of it have been circulating the web and have been confirmed by Toyota as being accurate. Presumably at that time we’ll know, too, whether that plug-in hybrid will be in the form of a specially-equipped Prius.

What we won't know is when Toyota will offer a PHEV to the general public. Or will we? Stay tuned.

This nacreous miracle misleads practically all. Both casual passers-by, and experts. Only owners of the same car can learn it, and that, only sideways. What lead the owner when he has decided to change cardinally appearance and without that, concerning the rare car for Russia? Desire to differ from all or only from similar?



What car can be with identical success by the first car in a life and the most successful racing bolid, a top gear of sports career?

It is Toyota Levin. Knowing people unanimously tell all: «Yes. Levin – the good car» another it is not given.

Concept Toyota A-BAT has reduced speed

Originally it resembled one of the most courageous plans which was developed by the Japanese motor-car manufacturer. But now it became known that development concept Toyota A-BAT is suspended. The reasons? The reasons are extremely clear, chaos in economic sphere and falling of sales. Anyhow,concept Toyota A-BAT should become the most comprehensible acquisition in the segment of the market, first of all thanks to the hybrid engine, the reduced weight that considerably reduces fuel consumption.

However vice-president Toyota, Bob Carter, has told that Japanese auto manufacturer does not consider Toyota A-BAT as very perspective project, and the instructions have been received to suspend the further development of the project, with carrying over without day start dates in manufacture. «At present the company has other priorities and projects into which has not entered Toyota A-BAT» - has added Bob Carter. «The market varies very dramatically and it is observed throughout last 12 months. We always place priorities depending on economic or time indicators, at present this project is sent on« to a regiment "." Some concepts rather quickly get on the market, others are not published at all »- has told Carter.« One of concept which has quickly gone on sale, is FJ Cruiser, thanks to that responses about its skilled image were excellent. One of midget cars »becomes the following conceptwhich can arrive in manufacture, possibly.
