These include remote control door lock/unlock, automatic seatbelts, vehicle-speed-responsive door lock, headlights with automatic on/off and high and low beam use control, and "run flat tires" which can be driven on for short distances after punctures.
Based on the second-generation Supra, the SV-2 featured different styling, complete with a removable targa top and a maroon and white interior.
Based on the upcoming 4WD Tercel L20, the RV-5 was configured as a cross country mobile camera platform.
The RV-5 was close to the released 4WD Tercel, with the main difference being that the large rear, side windows on the RV-5 could hinge upwards.
It was a showcase for new technologies in driver controls, engine, suspension, materials and aerodynamics.
The TAC3 was shown with a small trailer that also held 4 spare tyres on its towing arm.
Its goal was for ultra-low fuel consumption, to be under 650 kg in weight and to have the same interior volume as a small sedan.
It used turbo-charging, direct injection and electronics to keep high performance levels while maintaining low fuel consumption.
The mid-mounted 2.0 L engine had both a supercharger and a turbocharger (with a ceramic turbine wheel), pistons made from magnesium fibre-reinforced metal (FRM), a distributor-less ignition system and a resin intake manifold.
Their view was favourable with regard to the overall performance of the vehicle, although the natural turbine lag of the engine did hurt the overall impression of the review.
A regenerator took waste heat and transferred it to the incoming air, increasing efficiency.
Earlier versions of the Gas Turbine engine were shown at the Tokyo Motor Show in 1975 (in the Toyota Century) [15] and 1977 (free standing).
The AXV-II was a concept car built by Toyota that was first shown at the October 1987 Tokyo Motor Show.
[17] The hatchback was made entirely from glass that included the rear sides of the vehicle in a similar manner to the early Mazda RX-7.
[17] The FXV-II included 4 wheel steering and had a maximum speed of 260 km/h (160 mph) and a drag coefficient of Cd=0.26.
The EV-30 was a concept two-seat electric vehicle by Toyota that was first shown at the October 1987 Tokyo Motor Show.
The front bumper sloped back and upwards, running into the cabin to form the dashboard.
The rear bumper sloped forward and down, running into the cabin to form the side armrests.
The construction was lightweight, being designed as a LSV for use inside shopping malls, hospitals and similar environments.
It includes an electric folding roof, power windows, power locks, leather seats, folding mirrors, keyless entry, digital dash, cruise control, and automated climate control.
Toyota claimed the 4500GT was capable of transporting 4 passengers and their luggage comfortably at a speed of 300 km/h (186 mph).
The body's unusual shape (dropping snout, flat and abrupt rear end) yielded an extremely low coefficient of drag for the time period of Cd=0.29.
This alloy V8 was mated with a 6 speed manual transmission, which was mounted at the rear with the differential to even out the front/rear weight balance.
No acceleration testing was ever done on the car, but with 220 kW (295 bhp) and a curb weight of 1,450 kg (3,197 lb), the rear-wheel drive 4500GT could be reasonably expected to achieve 0–97 km/h (0–60 mph) in less than 7 seconds.
The styling of the Soarer/SC400 was in the eyes of many much more cohesive and attractive, and it went on to great commercial success on the mechanical backbone of the 4500GT concept.
It features the regular LiteAce body, but includes an expandable side, adding an additional 0.9 m (3 ft) of space inside.
