Toyota eyes new entry-level sports car
What you see here in official pictures is the Toyota S-FR concept car ahead of its world debut at the Tokyo Motor Show next week. Maybe it might be better to see the thing in real life before making any definite judgement about its looks.
But we share your sentiment. These static photos reveal some quirky proportions, like an oversized front grille and rather upright roof pillars.
Toyota wishes to keep things simple in the S-FR (probably meaning small, front-engine and rear-drive) as possible and refers it as a potential model sitting in the entry-level front of its sports car line-up, which also explains that simplistic interior.
Actually, Toyota's first basic sports car was the Sports 800 launched in 1965, which also had some peculiar design cues. Toyota hasn't mentioned whether the S-FR was developed to celebrate 50 years of its sports cars.
