Looking bold an aggressive, the concept "incorporates the technical expertise gained through the 24 Hours Nürburgring endurance race." As a result, Toyota says it has a lower center of gravity, an enhanced powertrain and improved rigidity.

Starting with the exterior, the model has been equipped with a number of carbon fiber components including the roof, hood and trunk. The coupe also has polycarbonate windows to reduce weight.

Detailed performance specifications were not released but the concept has a 2.0-liter four-cylinder engine that produces at least 200 HP (147 kW) and 205 Nm (151 lb-ft) of torque. It is connected to a six-speed manual transmission which should ensure the 1,200 kg (2645 lb) coupe is relatively quick.

Speaking of performance, the concept also has a sport-tuned suspension, carbon ceramic brakes and a mechanical differential.
