The Toyota FT-Se Concept previews a battery electric two-seater sportscar from the Japanese car maker. Here are some early details.

While its still strictly a concept, the Toyota FT-Se gives a good preview of what Toyota’s Gazoo Racing (GR) is cooking up in the near future. Standing for Future Toyota Sports electric, this concept is claimed to represent high performance in the carbon neutral era.

At just 4 380 mm long and 1 895 mm, this sportscar is not radically different in size in comparison to the current crop of Toyota’s GR performance vehicles. Given its history in making classic sports cars like the Celica, MR2 and Supra, expectations are that the Toyota FT-Se will continue to offer good looks and an enjoyable engaging driving experience.

There’s no word on the powertrain as yet, but we expect it will receive the next-generation battery tech like solid state batteries. Critical will be how the weight is managed, as we all know that EVs are not exactly light on their feet. Toyota has also said there will be continual software updates.

Toyota also released some info and images of the cabin, and the Toyota FT-Se features a next-gen cockpit with minimalist instrumentation. It appears the majority of controls and interfaces are integrated into the steering wheel. Toyota says there are kneepads in the cabin to protect the driver and passenger from G-Forces while driving quickly.
