Race to Win
It's hardly been any time since the Toyota FT-1 Concept Coupe was unveiled at the 2014 Detroit Auto Show, and already we have word that Polyphony Digital will be bringing the car via a FREE update to Gran Turismo 6 tomorrow, January 14th. In the update is a unique Seasonal Event that features the car, if you manage to get Bronze or better in the challenge at Laguna Seca then the car will be yours, however if you are useless then fear not as you can still get your hands on the car by purchasing it directly from the Toyota dealer.
The car is from the creative minds at Calty Design Research (Calty) who have worked with Toyota for over 40 years, creating some of their most cutting-edge concepts and design ideas. Calty approached the Gran Turismo developer Polyphony Digital to recreate the concept to use as part of the design studio's pitch to the higher-ups at Toyota. It worked, seeing the concept envisioned via the Gran Turismo game engine swayed Toyota into going with and recreating the concept.
As expected people are already making whispers and raising eyebrows that this could be a Next Supra and with the many design traits the concept contains you can see why. From the long-nose, side profile and that relatively round rear (read: fat ass) it's apparent that there is indeed some Supra heritage floating around in the FT-1 Concept Coupe. So a new Supra that looks like this? Hell yeah bring it on! A rejuvenation of classic Japanese sports cars such as the Supra is well overdue in our eyes!
