Toyota has revealed a second interior styling and exterior colour for an upscale interpretation of its sensational FT-1 sports car concept.

The latest interpretation of the coupe features new graphite paintwork in place of the vibrant red featured on the original concept, first seen at this year’s Detroit Motor show. There is also a new interior treatment, with saddle tan leather elements to give a more sophisticated feel, a statement said.

The 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 tights and garish colours sported by more traditional characters, it said.

The natural leather on the seat is supple with an all-natural grain, giving it an authentic appeal. The painted edges are subtly blended brown. The intention is to bring in a more sophisticated feel and authenticity through colour choice, showcasing the versatility of the FT-1 sports car concept, the statement said.

Enthusiasts who desire a more pure high-performance experience might choose the black-red pairing, while others may desire the premium, athletic feel of the saddle leather. -  TradeArabia News Service
