丰田S-FR在几周前在线发布后近日亮相东京车展。这辆外观呆萌的概念车在设计上走的是可爱路线，它的外观接近量产版，这表明传言的明年发布的可能性大增。丰田至今未透露该车动力系统细节，但最新传言称该车搭载一台卡罗拉日规车型的1.5升直列四缸汽油引擎，它采用直喷技术和一系列其他改进，功率提升至96千瓦/130马力，扭矩148牛米。虽然从数据上看，动力性并不出众，但据内部人士透露，该车重量仅为980公斤，因此它的性能表现应该不差。与引擎搭配的是六速手动变速箱和后驱系统。另外，这款车的价格也是公众可以承受的，预计量产版售价将比马自达MX-5还低1万美元。最后说说它的车身尺寸，该车长3990毫米，宽1695毫米，高1320毫米，轴距2480毫米。预计海外版将搭载不同的引擎，在美国市场很可能作为Scion品牌销售。不过，目前还无法确定具体上市时间，一切还要等丰田官方发布的声明。
Toyota S-FR concept arrives in Tokyo ahead of next year’s rumored launch
After an online reveal a few weeks ago, the Toyota S-FR concept has made its debut in the metal today at the 44th Tokyo Motor Show.
The goofy-looking concept is cute in its own way and its near-production appearance is believed to materialize sometime next year when the model will allegedly hit the assembly line according to various reports. Toyota still isn’t saying what powers the concept, but the latest gossip indicates it has an inline-four 1.5-liter gasoline engine sourced from the Corolla (JDM), only this time with direct injection and a series of other tweaks to boost output to 130 PS (96 kW) and 148 Nm (109 lb-ft).
That doesn’t sound very impressive, but keep in mind sources close to Toyota are saying the concept weighs as little as 980 kg (2,160 lbs), so it should turn out to be a feisty machine. Add into the mix a six-speed manual gearbox and rear-wheel drive, and you have the necessary ingredients for an affordable fun little car. Speaking of being affordable, word on the street says it will be the equivalent of $10,000 cheaper in Japan than the locally sold Mazda MX-5.
It’s bound to get a front & rear double wishbone suspension and is expected to retain the concept’s size: 3990 mm length, 1695 mm width and 1320 mm height, with a 2480 mm wheelbase. Those of you who were hoping for an automatic transmission are out of luck as the S-FR won’t get one, at least not in its domestic market. The international version could use a different engine and will likely be badged as a Scion in United States, but a production variant hasn’t been confirmed just yet so we will have to wait for an announcement from Toyota which hopefully will occur in the near future.
