Toyota FT-HS

The Toyota FT-HS, which stands for Future Toyota Hybrid Sport, is a hybrid sports car concept introduced at the 2007 North American International Auto Show and designed by Calty Design Research. Its rear wheel drive hybrid powertrain was meant to produce 400 horsepower and reach 60 miles per hour in about four seconds by combining a 3.5 litre V6 with an electric motor, much as the Lexus GS 450h does, and a production version would have used a capacitor system for quick charging, a technology Toyota has since shown in the Supra HV-R race car. The 2+2 car has a retractable roof similar to a targa top. Toyota's desired price was in the mid 30,000 dollar range, but by August 2008 a production version was no longer being considered. The concept was succeeded in 2014 by the Toyota FT-1, which inspired the fifth generation Supra, and many of its styling cues were used in the Toyota 86.
