We recently came across patent photos of a
mysterious Toyota coupe and it appears the model is actually a real vehicle. As noticed by members of the
SupraMKV forums, the
mystery model is called the La Coupe and it was displayed in Naoshima, Japan,
as recently as a few weeks ago.
This is a bit strange as we haven’t heard about the
model before and Google searches reveal pretty much nothing about it. Even
after searching various press and corporate sites, we came up empty handed. While little is known about the
car, it’s a two-door coupe concept with an adorable face. The latter has distinctive
headlights which are surrounded by stylish daytime running lights.
The model also has a front lip spoiler and a Toyota
emblem with blue accents. Toyota uses that logo on hybrid models, so this
suggests the concept has an eco-friendly powertrain. While the front half of the
concept is fairly traditional, the rear end is pretty unique. The fascia is
almost a mirror image of the front end, but the headlights are swapped for
taillights and the hood is replaced by a long trunk. We can also see stretched
body panels and a contrasting black roof which flows into a rakish rear window.
We’ve only come across a few interior pictures, but
they show the model has two, circular digital displays. One shows the current
speed and fuel level, while the other displays the current gear and battery
level.
