Sweet yeah, I seen that at the autoshow back in April, it is gonna be like the Scion here, and was basically designed with input from teenager... literally, from like 14 and up.

The cool thing is no more tickets in your name cause someone else drove the car. The license plate will display who is driving the car at the current time instead of who owns it.

Okay I found the brocure I picked up.

The Sportivo Coupe Concept is gonna be based on the Camry platform but uses Toyotas modular system.

The standard license plate will be replaced by a digital one so that authorities and government officals can deal with the person driving at the time. The driver will have to enter a driver ID in order to even start the car.

An innovative electronic speedometer relies on signals from speed advisory signs to display the speed limit at all times in the car, with the speedo re-configuring itself with the new limit positioned at the 12 o'clock position for instant and easy visual reference

Mobile telephone and GPS technology enables the driver to keep in touch and meet with friends via a portable touch screen tablet, kinda like the tablet pcs that are out now.



And here is a pic of what is being dubbed the future of F1 Racing.

Actually I just copy the write-up that I did for my site since I never offically launched it yet

The Sportivo Coupe Concept is gonna be based on the Camry platform but uses Toyotas modular system.

The standard license plate will be replaced by a digital one so that authorities and government officals can deal with the person driving at the time. The driver will use a digtial ID via SIM, like the ones in todays mobile phones to recognize the driver and there driving habits seat position and various other stuff..

An innovative electronic speedometer relies on signals from speed advisory signs to display the speed limit at all times in the car, with the speedo re-configuring itself with the new limit positioned at the 12 o'clock position for instant and easy visual reference

Mobile telephone and GPS technology enables the driver to keep in touch and meet with friends via a portable touch screen tablet, kinda like the tablet pcs that are out now. Also parents can keep track of who driving via the GPS.

It will have turbo 2.4L VVT-1, a Garrett GT25 turbocharger that features the latest water-cooled technology and roller bearings for faster "spool up" response and improved durability.

The specs go as follows, power output has increased by 60 percent from 112 to 180 @ 5500rpm. Torque is 305 @ 4500rpm, an increase of 55% over the standard engine's 218.

A flat torque curve provides strong response throughout the rev range, with 90 per cent of peak torque available from 2500 to 6000rpm. A custom fabricated exhaust manifold leads into a free-flow performance exhaust with dual outlets.

It borrows the manual 5spd from the Rav4 to give it AWD, along with a high performance brake package all standard.

Did I tell you that it will be riding on 21s?!! :D

The funny thing is that this concept went straight from the computer start to the floor room by-passing the clay models that are made to see a final visual before a prototype is built.

It is absolutely beautiful - definately the car for the future now all they have to do is NOT pussy down the styling (if ya know what i mean) keep it super edgy and watch it sell....'dreaming of the aftermarket on that car'

So what? 180 hp? Or did you ment to say 280 hp? Cause 112 hp of what I believe to be a camry motor that pushes out 160 hp US spec stock doesn't sound right. Then again, the 218 lbs/ft of torque doesn't really sound right either. Nevertheless, it is a nice car with loads of torque.
