MONTREAL, QC., (January 15, 2015) – There’s a
good reason why the FT stands for “Future Toyota.”
As visitors to the Toyota booth at this year’s Montreal
International Auto Show will discover, the Toyota FT-1 – which is making its
debut on Canadian soil – embodies the essence of where Toyota is headed. The
company is focused on introducing new cars and trucks that excite the senses
and connect on a powerful, emotional level with consumers.
“At Toyota, our vehicles are about quality,
durability as well as great design and handling – all bringing customers more
fun and delight,” said Seiji Ichii, President and CEO, Toyota
Canada Inc.
The FT-1 has a stunning
front engine rear-wheel drive configuration that creates classic sports car
proportions to be expected from a vehicle poised to dominate even the most
challenging road course. And the interior ignites heart-racing adrenaline for the
driver, with the chance to grip an F1-inspired steering-wheel while sitting
within an intimate, low-slung cockpit designed to heighten the senses.
Building on Toyota’s rich sports coupe heritage including Celica, Supra and 2000GT, the FT-1 has a “function-sculpted”
design language that yields curved, muscular, expressive body forms. The entire vehicle looks as though
it was strikingly shaped by the wind.
The FT-1 joins other exciting Toyota vehicles at the show,
including the TS030 racing hybrid – the
predecessor of the TS040 that enabled Toyota to become the first Japanese manufacturer to
win the prestigious FIA World Endurance Championship in 2014.
Visit the Toyota booth located on Level
2 at the Palais des congrès. The show runs
January 16-25.
