Toyota FT-EV II concept: Live images from Tokyo
Apart from unveiling the highly anticipated FT-86 concept, Toyota also revealed the FT-EV II concept at the 41st Tokyo Motor Show. The all-electric concept features a lithium-ion battery that enables the concept to deliver over 90 kilometers with a full charge. It also has a top speed of 100 km/h. The zero emissions vehicle has no steering wheel or foot pedals, instead it has only two control levers which are used to control the car.
There is also an enhanced communications system that enables the linking of the driver’s information to a network, that can allow the vehicle to connect with services beyond car navigation such as recommending information tailored to the driver’s preferences and downloading music and movie content.
The concept can also connect to home networks to help store energy and save large volumes of data. According to the auto maker, “The FT-EV II is not simply an electric vehicle designed for a post-fossil fuel era, but is a sustainable concept car that focuses on the relationship between cars, people and society of the future.” Look for more live images of the FT-EV II after the jump.

a very nice car indeed….90 km on a full charge is seriously not bad…the design is pretty cool too, a mixture of IQ and Alphard

this reminds me of the detroit motor shows a decade ago, full of pointless concept cars. What happened to the hot cars and hot girls of Tokyo?

less than an hour of usage at top speed? Is the lithium ion battery changeable As in changing the used up battery for a full one [spare]? Guess not!

Looks like a successor to the iQ

Yes! Everyone, please buy Toyota and service it in UMW’s service centres. No one will substitue your good part with rosak one when you service your car in UMW! Other brands? No confidence. Don’t know they may kacau your car or not. They can just take out spare-parts from your good car and put it back when you ask for repair, so that they can make more money. Remember ya, buy from UMW only.
