Mob Toyota Sports Cars Concept

Mob Toyota Sports Cars Concept
The Mob is the proposal to Toyota Sports Cars Concept. Toyota MOB concept car, was designed by Spanish designer Jorge Marti Vidal. The Mobius strips have been involved into these cars. The Mob Toyota Sports Cars Concept is the work of Spanish designer Jorge Marti Vidal. The concept was developed during his final year of the Masters degree course in automotive design at the Universidad Politecnica de Valencia.
Mob Toyota Sports Cars Concept
The “Toyota MOB” is a cars concept that inspired by the idea of the Mobius strip incorporates unusual bodywork. There are the two films also available to change the interior and the exterior structure of this sports cars.
These two films are also responsible to form the dash board and the seats of the car. The main central area, where the driver is use to be seated, is transparent to feel real sensation of the car racing. With the help of the transparent central area, the driver of the Mob can view the ground closely. The wheels emulate the shapes of the blossoming flowers. The car was made of an organic material “liquid wood,” which is created using the waste product of lignin, left after the manufacture of paper.
The liquid wood is from one of the organic materials that can easily be modified into various shapes. The zero-emission car carries two continuous panels, which weave their way back and forth to form the body and the chassis. Moving on the wheels with built-in motors, the racing car includes an all-electric drivetrain to ensure an in-wheel drive. Measuring 3,643 x 1,787 x 1,063mm (LWH) in dimensions, the electric vehicle tout dynamic eco credentials without compromising the thrill.
To further improve the Toyota MOB’s eco-friendly credentials, the proposed drivetrain is all-electric – with each wheel getting its own dedicated motor. Vidal envisaged the Toyota MOB as a environmentally responsible racing car, but it could just as easily act as a lightweight sports cars. As such the car is fitted with a small cargo area for storing personal items.

Adding more to Concept’s green factor is an all electric drivetrain, wherein all the wheels have individual motors to propel the car. Coming to its construction, the car is made of two panels that weave back and forth. The panels not only give this vehicle a perfect shape, but make up everything from the bodywork and chassis, to the seats and dashboard. The designer has envisioned an eco friendly and lightweight race car that makes environment feel happy.

Toyota's radical Compact Sports & Specialty Concept Car


Toyota's radical Compact Sports & Specialty Concept Car
Toyota's radical Compact Sports & Specialty Concept Car on Body


This design car toyotas radical compact sports and specialty looks simple car modern for future. i think this concept car toyota is very futuristic car. A radical Toyota sports car featuring a hybrid petrol-electric drive-train and a host of innovative interior features was one of the stars of the media day at the 2005 Melbourne International Motor Show. The CS&S (Compact Sports & Specialty) concept was designed to demonstrate the sporting potential of Toyota's Hybrid Synergy Drive technology, as featured in the second-generation Prius production car. With its midship-mounted next-generation Toyota Hybrid System THS II based on the Hybrid Synergy Drive concept and an E-Four (electric 4-wheel drive) system, the CS&S is designed to provide outstanding environmental performance and driving exhilaration.

In the CS&S a mid-mounted 1.5 litre petrol engine drives the rear wheels while the 50kW high-output motor electric motor drives the front wheels. The arrangement gives the CS&S the extra traction of four wheel drive combined with vigorous acceleration thanks to the high torque characteristics of the electric motor. Four-wheel control provided by the E-Four system and the midship positioning of the hybrid power plant further enhance handling and road-holding performance. Toyota says the CS&S will accelerate to 100 km/h in 8.6 seconds. Despite the quick performance, the concept car's Hybrid Synergy Drive uses less fuel and has lower exhaust emissions than an equivalent conventionally-engined sports car.

The CS&S's innovations extend to the interior which features a revolutionary human-machine interface called Toyota Space Touch (TST). The TST system uses a series of holographic projections which the driver "touches" to control functions such as air conditioning, audio, satellite navigation and email. The car's seating system is flexible, allowing the CS&S to be converted from a two-seater to a 2+2 by the removal of canopies behind the two front seats. In addition, the front passenger seat has been designed in such a way that it can be rotated to cover the entire cockpit area like a hard tonneau cover, thereby boosting anti-theft security

Toyota Face Class Action

Washington - If last year, Toyota is proud to have defeated the American giant on its own, a car manufacturer from Japan, it seemed to be made dizziness.

Because after a while and then was forced to pull back 3.8 million products from the market, Toyota now have to face the demands of American citizens after the Toyota and Lexus user class-action lawsuit filed into the largest manufacturer in the world.

Class action against Toyota's American society was posted through the McCuneWright attorney's office over the weekend announced that it has filed a national class-action lawsuit against the Japanese car maker Toyota.

The lawsuit followed an error in a Toyota car carpet can make a fast car suddenly because the gas pedal is stuck carpet.

As a result of a trivial but fatal mistake, according to the latest data from the firm McCuneWright has happened hundreds of accidents by up to 243 injured people and dead victims as much as 16 people.

"For years, Toyota Motor Corporation has stopped the complaints consumers and pointed as a driver error," said a lawyer McCuneWright, David Wright.

Toyota also asked to fix a problem with the ignition key must be pressed continuously for three seconds when the vehicle moves to the machine is not dead, hard to find the position of the brake gear netraldan that require too much power to stop the vehicle.

"We think this lawsuit is needed to save lives," said Wright.

Meanwhile, the LA Times as reported by Reuters stated that there have been at least eight issues investigated by the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) in the last seven years, but six of the cases were closed because of no strong evidence.

However, an independent safety expert Sean Kane, who also is president of Safety Research and Strategies, instead found nearly 2,000 cases related to Toyota cars.

Most accidents were not fatal, but there is a case in which a Lexus ES 350 shot up more than about 100 mph or 160 km / h and crashed near San Diego on 28 August. This accident killed California Highway Patrol officer, the driver and three family members.
