Toyota S-FR Becomes a Lean, Mean Racing Machine for Tokyo Auto Salon 2016
Text and Photos from Toyota
With its sporty yet simple design, the Toyota S-FR turned heads when it made its global premiere at the Tokyo Motor Show in October. Now, Toyota GAZOO Racing plans to reimagine the concept as a track-ready race car at Tokyo Auto Salon 2016, a customized-car exhibition running from January 15 through 17.
With wide flared fenders, eye-catching hood vents, and use of carbon fiber reinforced plastic canards and front/rear spoilers, this concept represents Toyota’s vision of the S-FR as a performance vehicle born for the racing circuit. While the model displayed at the Tokyo Motor Show had simple, familiar styling, the Toyota S-FR Racing Concept aims for a more aggressive look.
Toyota sees Tokyo Auto Salon as an excellent opportunity to promote car culture, and to engage with car fans in order to turn their feedback into ever-better products. The event will be held at Makuhari Messe, Chiba, with an industry and press day on January 15, followed by public days on January 16 and 17
