Toyota says it will deliver quiet, smooth performance with the lowest emissions in its segment, while maintaining the small-but-spacious quality for which Yaris is renowned.

The GT 86, Toyota’s all-new sports coupe, sold in the U.S. as the Scion FR-S, arrives in Geneva on a wave of enthusiastic advance media acclaim and public interest. Due to reach the road this summer, the GT 86 rediscovers the pure passion and excitement of sports car driving, at an affordable price.

Geneva marks the world debut of the FT-Bh concept, (pictured above) an ultra-lightweight, full hybrid city car study, designed to achieve low emissions within an economically viable production framework. The team that produced FT-Bh purposely avoided expensive materials and complex manufacturing processes, working instead only with those that are already commonplace in the auto industry.



Toyota’s NS4 (at left) and FCV-R (above) concepts are also being shown in Europe for the first time. NS4 is a next-generation plug-in hybrid vehicle, designed to address customer demand for added value from hybrid motoring, together with advanced design and a more involving drive. FCV-R represents Toyota’s next step towards mass production of hydrogen-powered vehicles, paving the way for the launch of a saloon-type fuel cell vehicle by 2015.

The Toyota diji concept — previously shown at last year’s Tokyo motor show as the Fun-Vii — is all about personalization. The entire body, inside and out, serves as a display, with the driver being able to change color and content at will.
