We have a strange looking little car here from Toyota, who has exclusively debuted this tuned, track-ready conversion of the smart Toyota iQ city car. Tuning was performed by MN specially for Gazoo Racing, and the cubic iQ is the latest concept of the brand’s compact model. Most evident is the addition of a large front air dam, lower air intakes, and new racing wheels. A roll cage was custom built for the interior and track use, while the Toyota urban mini car reaps benefits from a supercharged engine. Now this is still a concept, it looks like the design and power could work since the car is so small. However, traction seems like the major issue because the short wheelbase. We’ll see what the Toyota tuning guys and GRMN can put together.

I had to post this car on the site because it gave me a good laugh with the name “Swagger Wagon” based off the Toyota Sienna. The all new Sienna has been a huge success so far for Toyota, and this project is straight over the top. It has been stretched and modified by taking a family functional minivan and turning it into a limousine. Customizations include new 20-inch KMC chrome wheels, Brazilian hardwood floors, HP TouchSmart computer, Xbox, and an all new audio system. The sound comes from 10 JBL GTO 428 speakers, two JBL GTO 804 subwoofers, and four amplifiers with 1700 watts of power. This swagged out Toyota Sienna Swagger Wagon will also be seen at the upcoming auto shows in Los Angeles, Detroit, and Chicago.

At the 41st Tokyo Motor Show, Subaru and Toyota have partnered together to release the Toyota FT-86 Concept. Both companies will produce their own versions of the car, but right now they are sticking with the Toyota name. It should launch at the end of 2011 and will be powered by a naturally aspirated 2.0-liter four cylinder engine. Sporting a rear wheel drive, the Toyota FT-86 Concept car shows performance numbers of 146 hp and 190 Nm of torque. Hopefully there will be a turbocharger available for those tuning enthusiasts wanting extra power for their Toyota or Subaru. Delivering maximum driving performance will be a 6-speed manual transmission, and the affordable sports car will be priced around $20,000 USD.
