New version of Toyota FT-1 concept features new graphite paintwork
16 Aug 2014|3,457 views
Toyota has unveiled the latest interpretation of its intoxicating Toyota Future Toyota-1 (FT-1) concept coupe, adorning a new solemn graphite paintwork in place of the vibrant red featured on the original concept, first seen at this year's Detroit Motor Show.
The newly unveiled FT-1 also sports a new interior treatment, with elements of saddle tan leather to provide a more sophisticated, Lexus-esque feel. The FT-1's interior designers drew their inspiration from modern superhero films, particularly their use of high-tech performance materials for the character's costumes, as opposed to the bright and garish colours sported by more traditional characters.
To achieve the FT-1's advanced-looking, intricately detailed interior, Toyota's California based design team, CALTY, compared leather thicknesses, grain sizes and textures to find the perfect combination. A raised metal mesh provides ventilation for the seats, while also lending a more textural, bold effect that complements the cabin's metal accents. An embossed pattern on the instrument panel leather creates a 3D, technical look.
From September, players of the Gran Turismo 6 video game will be able to download three different versions of the FT-1- in both red and graphite models in addition to a high-performance 'Vision GT' edition.
