FT-1 Concept shows up in Monterey with new interior and graphite exterior paint
Toyota has dropped a massive surprise in Monterey. Instead of showing up with something boring, they’ve rolled out another version of their highly-acclaimed FT-1 Concept car that debuted initially in Detroit in January.
While the bodywork is the same as the car shown at NAIAS, this new concept sports graphite exterior paint and saddle-coloured leather interior bits. It was shown at the Gordon McCall’s Motorworks Revival yesterday.

“The intention is to bring in a more sophisticated feel and authenticity through color choice, showcasing the versatility of the FT-1 sports car concept,” stated Toyota in a release.
“From the start of the FT-1 project, we wanted the driver to have a feeling of flow while at the wheel – to be able to focus on the road and nothing else,” said Sellene Lee, the Calty creative designer who proposed both colour concepts.

The second is something altogether different – the Vision GT Concept – sporting all the go-fast goodies of a race car and perfectly suited to Sony’s hyper-realistic racing simulation.
