This article acts as a "in case you missed it".
Otherwise, this is barely news. Nothing has changed, the car is still in the "concept" phase of development. The design remains unaltered & powerplant remains where we left off, some sort of BMW & Toyota collaboration.
During summer of last year the FT-1 showed up at Cars & Coffee Irvine.
Gathered quite a crowd, too.
Definitely grabbed much attention (as a concept car should), but I'd hesitate to call it beautiful.
Its safe to say much of the hype that day was generated by the FR-S guys, who decided to caravan and park in the main area
Everyone was excited to hear it as they gathered around, only to be let down by absolute silence. The car came and went without any noise.
The powerplant is probably still in the works and/or not finalized so they did what they can to conceal any giveaways sound clues.
No idle noise either; i wouldn't be surprised if they stuck some sort of electric or hybrid powertrain as a dummy.
