The Toyota FT-Se reassures anxious car lovers

Electric cars are boring and offer little experience! We understand that hardcore petrolheads think this way. But you can handle the driving pleasure, as the Toyota FT-Se reassures us.

In Tokyo, where a major auto show is taking place this week, it’s raining an electronic spectacle. Honda surprises us with a new Prelude and Mazda puts a beautiful sports car on the show floor.

Spectacular Toyota FT-Se

Toyota also focuses on sporty accents and produces this spectacular FT-Se. It looks like a futuristic MR-2, with the engine in the middle.

With rear wheel drive?

However, of course this does not apply to the Toyota FT-Se. It’s electric, its engines probably at the back, given the (digital) crossplates Toyota is sending out into the world.

Would GR become a brand?

What is noticeable is that there are no Toyota badges on the FT-Se, but rather GR logos. Would that be a clue? That Toyota is turning its sporty GR label into a DS or Cupra-like brand?

We wouldn’t be surprised if Toyota released a similar sports coupe in the future. The Japanese brand has been working on a sleeker image for years, including with the GR Yaris, GR Supra and GR86.
