Detroit Auto Show 2007: Toyota FT-HS concept Video Transcript

[ Music ] ^M00:00:04

>> Toyotas FT HS sports concept is a hybrid attainable exotic, based on a 3 1/2 liter gas engine, a V-6 and a retuned version of Toyotas hybrid synergy Drive, the system already considered the gold standard as known in the prious[sp?]. But very much unlike the prious, this car has 400 horse power to the rear wheels and a retractable roof panel leaves the pillars in place, but clears away all the sheet metal between them. Nonetheless the driver never feels exposed, thanks to the rather extreme pod design of the drivers area. The front end of this car is a polarizing thing, you either love it or hate it, but you'll have time to think about that since this one is not slated for production, at least not for a long time. ^M00:00:49 [ Music ]
