Toyota Alessandro Volta Concept? Options

[Random_Stranger]

I was looking for MR2 and Supra wallpapers to make on photo paper to decorate my wall and ran into this. Then I thought back to ideals people toss around for the new MR2 MKIV and said to myself "I don't know $#!T about this car, but as far as the front end and shape of this car, it NEEDS to be it". Anyways, this is just a topic starter, so.... speak amongst yourselves...




Ok for further reading, I found extra photos and some information on Toyota Concept vehicles

So maybe it is out there somewhere or it is waiting to be made... I dunno... I just seen it and got a woody, so I wanted to share (the car, not my woody).

I'm pretty sure the r8 took some ideas from this toyota.

LOL Very true. Perhaps she asked if she can drive it and she was denied with a "B***! Are you crazy?!".. Taking a picture right after she was denied was the photographer's only chance for a "Priceless" look. LOL

Oh ok, well they still look different to me. Like totally separate cars, but I see the point.

I really think they should make a new 2000GT, At least to me, that's the car that started it all.

[hatchy_gt-s]

How many concepts have you seen that look like the final product?

I wasn't aware the LF-A was a hybrid. If not, then it is not the same car. Being called a Volta, it's not meant to be anything that doesn't include batteries as a main component.

It's not, but like I said concepts are concepts for a reason. Toyota is also "making" a 400hp supra thats a hybrid and I garante you it wont happen. The FT-86 it isn't anything like its release. The new "Celica" with a subie motor is a concept that wont be made. See how many concepts dont actually come out as created or not even come out.

While I agree 100% that final products go through Many changes from their initial concepts (see below example of the GT-R concept), I disagree 5,000,000% about the Volta being the LF-A. To me, that would be like saying the new camaro is the concept Shelby. Since multiple projects are done at a time, I'm sure other projects stole some ideas off this car (like the exterior which had outside help), but anything that does not use batteries should not be called the same car as the Volta, IMO.

Wow, that was the concept? The final product actually looks better I think, yet they really used the whole concept idea and followed very closely enough (with of course the improvement of better looks on the final product I think). I can see the FT-86 keeping most of the exterior look from the concept. As for the Supra concept, if they decide to follow that closely, lots will change and it will be smoothed out a bit, especially on those side panels near the doors and such.
