Toyota FT-Bh light weight aerodynamic hybrid

Toyota is showing a new FT-Bh concept car at Geneva -- under 1,800 pounds, Cd of 0.235, and 112MPG all sound great!

Minimalist Toyota FT-Bh Concept boasts 112 miles per gallon

Save the disconnected front fenders and the fanciful interior (though I hope they keep the thin seats!), it looks to be pretty darn good!






Here's the very iffy front end:



A Cd of 0.235, and weight at about 1,800 pounds, 2 cylinder 1L long stroke Atkinson cycle engine, claimed 112MPG, side view video mirrors, thin seats -- it all sounds pretty sweet.
