Toyota FT-1 Concept Revealed at Detroit [VIDEO]

We were expecting Toyota to bring a Supra successor to Detroit but it turns out they were cooking another design study for us. Dubbed FT-1, the new concept car features an aggressive design and is described by Toyota as an ideally balanced front-engine, rear wheel-drive layout that is powered by a high-technology, high performance internal combustion engine.

Not further details on the power train have been released but the model will be made available as downloadable content for Gran Turismo 6 players if you'd like to give it a try. You will find more details and pictures in the press release after the jump.

Pick of the Day: Abflug Schwarzer Supercar

No it's not based on the Viper, it's not based on a Ferrari either.. It's called the Abflug Schwarzer, it comes from Gotenba in Japan and only one exists in the world. The car is based on a Toyota Supra JZA80 and this not just a cheap conversion kit. It's a bespoke body that is meant to give the Supra a totally different appearance and also the performance that goes with it.

The Abflug Schwarzer is powered by a 3.0-liter six cyliner engine producing 603 Hp and good for a top speed of 313 Km/h (196 mph). The car weights just 1,390 kg (3,064 pounds) and it'll do the 400 meters (quarter mile) in 11.3 seconds.
