Ran across this video today. Interview with Kevin Hunter on the future of design for Lexus and Toyota. Interesting enough at the 10:20+ mark, I wonder if this is a sneak peak of the interior of the Lexus LC/SC that will be revealed next Monday at the NAIAS

Nice catch, looks like it to me. But that looks like concept level stuff. The dash trim screen looks awesome!

I was reminded how much I love the FT-1 styling when the design sketch popped up right after the interior shots.

Looks like Toyota has the FT-1 out on display again - this time at Tokyo Auto Salon 2016.

Behind the S-FR :)

Two cars that seemingly will never see the light of day in the U.S. :dunno:

Sorry for my pessimism but Toyota needs to get a move on it. This 3 sports car lineup is starting to seem like pure rhetoric.

I think the S-FR may be here before FT1. It looks very production ready.

I see Aikio Toyoda was there with a microphone. Are there any interviews or video on what he was saying?

I also came across this video uploaded today from the TAS auto show. Is it me or does that right tail light have amber turn signals? I though it was just the glare on the picture above but you can clearly see the right tail light has amber turn signals compared to the left tail light which is all red. You can see this on the video at 1:07+. The LC500 got the same tail lights from the LF-LC concept. I wonder if this car will get the same, that would be awesome.

I was not able to find anything :(

If it was anything important than I'm sure it will surface soon.

Definitely looks like amber turn signals and yea the tail lights are one of my favorite parts of the FT-1 that I hope don't get dumbed down for production. :thumbsup:

Well, atleast it shows that they're still showing interest on the ft-1?

Now lets just hope they have interest in actually building the thing instead of endlessly parading around a concept loosely tied to the Supra. A little surprised to see it at the TAS and not at any US shows in a while.

If the LF-LC made it into production, the FT-1 should too. :yes:

I have no doubt this car is in the making behind the scenes. Whether it's identical or close to the FT-1 is yet to be seen. Especially after the press conference Aikio Toyoda gave when presenting the LC500. You can clearly see he is taking a different approach from recent years. Only down side is time. One day it will be here but never soon enough.
