Last year, Toyota caught nearly everyone off guard by revealing a slew of electric concept vehicles. Among them was the Sports EV, which has now evolved into the FT-Se, a two-seater that prominently features Gazoo Racing insignia and has the dimensions of a mid-engine sports car.
This updated electric performance vehicle retains its eye-catching orange exterior and contrasting black roof. However, it now incorporates large air intakes, as well as door mirrors and handles. While it may not be a production-ready iteration of the original concept, Toyota has yet to release any technical details about the FT-Se. Unlike its predecessor that had a removable targa top, this model appears to be a coupe with a fixed roof, divided into two glass sections.

Notably, some images display the concept car on a racetrack, boasting a large, fixed wing. This implies that Toyota is considering a track-focused version of the FT-Se. The vehicle looks attractive, wing or no wing, and features a ducktail spoiler adorned with the GR logo instead of Toyota's standard emblem. Extended lighting strips on both the front and rear amplify the car's sense of width and road stance.

The interior is a significant departure from Toyota's GR86 and Supra models, introducing an entirely new cockpit virtually devoid of traditional controls. The steering wheel, which is yoke-shaped, is accompanied by two smartphone-like touchscreens, providing the driver with access to all available functionalities. A broad, flat digital display is also mounted on the upper section of the dashboard, situated above the steering wheel.
With no specific information provided by Toyota, all we can do is hope that the FT-Se eventually becomes a production vehicle. It could potentially serve as an electric successor to the MR2, although it's too early to say for sure.
