Expected to be unveiled as Toyota GR’s first electric sports car, the FT-Se shares its underpinnings with the FT-3e SUV and appears to be a development of the MR2 concept revealed in late-2021.
Each car is expected to draw power from Toyota’s new ‘Performance’ lithium ion battery pack – set to arrive in production cars in 2026 – which is claimed to increase range to around 497 miles and cut costs by up to 40%.
Inside, it is designed to be be as driver focused as its ride and handling, with two smartphone-style display screens flanking a narrow yoke steering wheel.

Toyota FT-3e concept
Toyota’s second electric SUV paves the way for a radical electric 4×4 touted to introduce a new era for the brand where it will “go beyond providing physical transportation tools”. Arriving alongside the FT-Se sports car, it will be fully unveiled at the Tokyo motor show on 26 October and preview a sharply styled five-seat 4×4 with a design language unique to the brand’s EVs.
Its eye-catching design has been created with the help of AI and is said to be “as simple as possible”, with clean, aero-optimised lines and a prominent belt line in the same vein as the Land Rover Defender.
According to the company, the vehicle has been designed as a “lifestyle parter” to make the driver’s life as “stress-free” as possible, allowing them to adapt the ride quality to their preference and find out information about their local area via the infotainment screen to make it a “one-of-a-kind cherished vehicle”.
