Premiere of Toyota in Tokyo: sports car, vodorodnoi and unusual hybrid

All three cars — concept cars, showing the technological level of the Toyota.

Toyota has prepared for the Tokyo motor show the world premiere of three concept cars. They will present along with the already shown earlier cars — the new Prius a serial and a crossover concept C-HR.





The first of the Prime front-engined rear-wheel drive sports car Toyota S-FR. The car is designed to carry a driver and three passengers, and its overall dimensions (length 3.99 m, width of 1.69 m, height 1,32 m, wheelbase of 2.48 meters) is almost the same as the previously released model MR-S. Independent suspension, six-speed manual transmission, optimal load distribution on the axles (50:50 when in salon only the driver and front passenger) — all this should attract the attention of fans of compact sports cars.





Another prototype of the Toyota FCV Plus continues to develop the hydrogen-powered car. The concept car uses hydrogen not only from its own reservoir (located behind the rear seats), but also from the environment. And when the car is not used for travel, it can be use as a source of electricity for household needs. Despite the compact dimensions of the machine (length 3.8 m, width 1.75 m, height 1.54 m, the wheelbase 3 m), its interior is quite spacious. This was achieved due to the lack of a single motor unit (the electric motors located in each wheel) and the location of the primary fuel cell between the front wheels.





The third Toyota concept car bears the name KIKAI (translated from Japanese as "machine"). Triple hybrid car with a body of carbon fiber and located at the center of the driver's seat is especially notable because its main parts and assemblies (suspension, exhaust system, fuel tank and others) are not hidden from the eyes, and put on display and made an integral part of the exterior. The designers concept is designed to highlight the beauty of the mechanical part of a modern car. Length (3.4 m) wheelbase (2.45 m) this concept yields to the two mentioned above, but more width (1.8 m) and height (1.55 m).





And another exhibit, though not directly related to automotive technology, but demonstrates the level of engineers and programmers Toyota. Miniature robot Kirobo, the Mini height of 10 cm is capable of quite sensible to communicate with people through words and gestures. published
