Toyota Motor Corporation (TMC) has planned to introduce its newly developed 'G Sports' (G's) sports conversion car series in Japan in mid-2010. The series is to be sold through Toyota-brand dealers and is meant to offer 'automotive seasoning', which the company has pursued through its GAZOO Racing activities.
The G's series is designed to offer a personalized interior and exterior, along with sports-driving performance. TMC has directly designed this sports conversion series, instead of conventional approach of outsourcing development to customization firm.
The base vehicle of the G's series is equipped with internal and external components, which include sports suspension, aerodynamic parts and racing style seats.
In addition to the 'FT-86 concept' rear-wheel drive compact sports car and Lexus 'LFA', it is planning to expand sports model through the introduction of conversion models and sports-trim models of mass-produced vehicle series, such as the GRMN and G's series.
The models, including GRMN and G's concept, are being displayed at the Tokyo Auto Salon 2010, with NAPAC, which is being held from January 15 to 17 at Makuhari Messe in Chiba prefecture.
