Toyota plans to produce an electric sports car FT-Se.

Toyota's latest project in the field of sports electric vehicles is embodied in the FT-Se (Future Toyota Sports electric) concept, which represents the brand's current research in the field of electric mobility. While the production status of this compact two-seater electric vehicle has yet to be confirmed, the concept represents Toyota's vision for the future of electric sports cars. The FT-Se is designed as a sleek, compact two-seater electric vehicle with an expressive silhouette that pays tribute to classic sports car aesthetics: its compact height of 1,220 mm exudes the essence of a classic sports car, while its overall width of 1,895 mm emphasizes its powerful and assertive stance. The design of the front part with its smooth curves and clear lines visually emphasizes the dynamism and maneuverability of the car. The 4,380 mm long profile is further accentuated by aerodynamic lines, trapezoidal shapes and a rear spoiler that add to its visual appeal. Toyota FT-Se Concept. Although Toyota has yet to reveal detailed specifications, it is already known that the FT-Se will be powered by a new generation of batteries with high energy density. This battery is expected to be thinner and more energy-intensive, and therefore lighter, than current electric vehicles. In addition, components such as the electric drive system, transmission and air conditioning have been reduced to improve traditional sports car qualities such as stable cornering, responsive steering and confident braking. The interior design of the FT-Se features a low-profile instrument panel for improved visibility. There are three screens in the cabin, two of which are located next to the steering wheel. Knee pads are strategically placed to protect the driver and passenger when cornering, emphasizing the car's sporty characteristics. Toyota FT-Se Concept. Details about the production plans for this electric sports car are still limited, but Toyota CEO Akio Toyoda has previously stated his personal involvement in the development of the brand's electric vehicles. CEO Akio Toyoda confirmed plans for a manual transmission with a clutch pedal, which would use software control of the electric drive system to simulate gear changes and create matching engine noise. However, series production of this model is still awaiting approval. Toyota continues to navigate the changing landscape of electric mobility by exploring the intersection of its sports car heritage and advanced electric technology.

Lexus is reducing its model range - some stylish coupes will be replaced by one new hybrid.

Image
  Lexus, the long-standing Japanese luxury car brand, has decided to say goodbye to the RC and LC coupes and replace the aging gasoline models with one hybrid model. Although coupes are not extremely popular, they are a point of pride for any car brand. The decision to discontinue the RC and LC gasoline models is not related to a drop in demand. In Japan, the coupe has long been perceived as a niche model. If the coupe can recoup the costs of development and production, it is considered a success and a showcase of the brand's achievements. Such models are evidence of the brand's ability to allocate resources to special cars and set a precedent for competitors. This trend was especially evident in the 1990s, when Japanese manufacturers broke sales records and accumulated significant profits. The next hybrid coupe, which will replace its gasoline predecessor, will have a signature Lexus design. Specific details of the exterior have not yet been revealed, but development has been

In 2018, Hyundai introduced a special crossover on hydrogen fuel - Nexo - in its model range. Although it hasn't become a bestseller in the brand's SUV portfolio, recent information suggests that Hyundai is gearing up to launch the next-generation Nexo, pointing to a promising future for this unique vehicle. The second generation of Hyundai's hydrogen crossover, which is scheduled to debut in mid-to-late 2025, will undergo significant exterior changes that will bring the design closer to the aesthetics of the Tucson and Ioniq 7 models, as shown in a rendering created by an American automotive designer. The rendering shows a redesigned front end with an LED strip running across the hood, reminiscent of the new Sonata and Stalia designs. Hyundai Nexo 2025.

10 Toyota cars that rarely visit service stations.

  Toyota has long been synonymous with durability and cost-effectiveness, and has a well-deserved reputation as a leader in performance and comfort. However, when it comes to evaluating the reliability of Toyota cars in the aftermarket, especially those with high mileage and short residual life, a different perspective appears. HotCars magazine researched the reliability of various Toyota vehicles in the US aftermarket and identified 12 models that stand out for their durability and continue to receive high praise from buyers. It is worth noting that even the famous Land Cruiser SUV and the reliable Hilux pickup could not top the list. The 2014 Toyota Camry tops this rating. This sedan boasts an excellent consumer rating of 4.4 out of 5 and a top reliability rating of 92 out of 100. Toyota Camry. The 2019 Toyota Corolla hatchback is the next most reliable. It shares the Camry's 92-point reliability rating, but has a slightly lower consumer rating of 0.1 points. The 2018 Toyota RAV4
