Toyota FT-HS Concept

Toyota was next, and had one of the best exhibits from a "cor blimey!" point of view. Though virtually identical to its Sydney Motor Show stand, there were several cars mounted in the walls, giving the exhibit a real Gulliver's feel.

The major model launches were the new TRD Hilux, which outputs 225kW of power thanks to a supercharged 4.0-litre V6 engine. Another big model that will attract crowds was the FT-HS sports car, or the 'Prius on Steroids' as Toyota coined it. This 300kW monster is already being touted the next generation Toyota Supra.
