Toyota to showcase concept cars in Phl

MANILA, Philippines - This August 2013, the no. 1 automotive brand in the country, Toyota Motor Philippines (TMP) will bring in two concept cars to the Philippines. These vehicles that will give people a glimpse of how cars will be in the near future will be exhibited at The World of Toyota Motorshow on Aug. 10-18 at the World Trade Center, Pasay City.

Toyota’s FCV-R and Lexus’s LF-LC exude the brand’s new design philosophy and technology of cars in the future.

 Toyota’s Fuel-Cell Vehicle Reality and Revolution (FCV-R) is a dedicated concept model that is highly practical. Marking its next step towards mass production sometime in 2015, this mid-size family FCV runs on hydrogen and does not emit emission gas or CO2 but only water vapor.  Overall, the FCV-R combines breakthrough innovation with ergonomic practicality and futuristic styling. 
Mirroring Toyota’s new family design, both the front and rear styling exposes a “W” theme, signifying the fuel cell cooling system.

 On the other hand, Lexus will showcase its Future-Luxury Coupe (LF-LC) that was first revealed in Detroit, Michigan at the North American International Auto Show.

The LF-LC shows off the brand’s signature spindle-shaped grille supported by a front-engine and rear-wheel drive drivetrain layout. Furthermore, the vehicle’s interior displays the latest advanced technology with natural forms and shapes to create a driver-focused synergy of form and function. All these are powered by the latest Advanced Lexus Hybrid Drive that delivers driving performance and fuel efficiency.

In all, the FCV-R and the LF-LC shape Toyota’s future in mobility. Moreover, this rare opportunity to view these concept cars will give visitors a chance to envision the brand’s new design language and technology that promises to be consistent in all upcoming Toyota vehicles.
