Toyota Motor Corporation reported on January 13, 2014, that it had revealed the stunning FT-1 sports car concept at the North American International Auto Show in Detroit that takes place between January 13 and 26.

The Company stated that FT-1 was first devised by Calty Design Research in the Sony PlayStation Gran Turismo game environment, The Wall Street Journal reports.

Alex Shen, Calty's Studio Chief Designer, commented, "The FT-1 is a dream-project for a designer and car enthusiast like myself. Our team was heavily influenced by Toyota's sports car past, especially Celica and Supra, and we sought to capture some of that history. It is an aggressive, track-focused sports car concept with a presence that has been amplified for shock and awe."

Calty Design Research President Kevin Hunter added, "Beyond its obvious five-alarm visual impact, FT-1 is symbolic of a new chapter for Toyota Global Design. This provocative concept truly captures the passion, excitement, and energy of the Toyota we are evolving into and embodies elements of the emotion and performance that Toyota will imprint upon future production designs."
