Toyota is developing a small, two-seat electric sports car that could be the first bespoke EV from its Gazoo Racing performance brand. Shown alongside 14 other Toyota and Lexus concepts as company president Akio Toyoda revealed 15 of a planned 30 new EVs from the brands by 2030, the unnamed coupé appears similar in size to Toyota's MR2 sports car, which bowed out in 2007.
This latest concept looks to be slightly larger and features much more aggressive styling cues unlike anything seen on a production Toyota so far. Most intriguingly, its cab-forward silhouette hints at a revival of the MR2's characteristic mid-engined format, which could mean Toyota is planning a similar stacked-battery arrangement to that of Porsche and Lotus's upcoming electric sports cars.
