These are Toyota’s wildest concept cars
The FT-1 caught us by surprise. But then so did these old motor show concepts

We're going back to 2001, and a 4.3-litre V8-powered two-seat roadster. Yes, and please. It's called the ‘Future Experimental Sports', with a rigid, permanently open body and that V8 matched to a six-speed sequential manual gearbox. There are double wishbones all round,, hidden underneath a wide, low slung body. "Will it be built?" Toyota weirdly asks itself in the press release of the day. "Who knows?" comes the response. From Toyota. Sorry to spoil the surprise, but... they didn't build it.
