Toyota Motor Company has developed a number of cool concept cars over the years, here we are going to take a look at a couple of the newest concepts, the FT-1 and the PM Concept.

The FT-1 is a sports car created by CALTY Design that was designed specifically with track use in mind and was inspired by vehicles such as the Supra, 2000GT, FT-86 and Celica. This concept model offers a glimpse into the type of energy and drive emotion that we can expect to see in future Toyota models. Additionally, a FT-1 Vision Gran Turismo®6 Concept version of this vehicle was developed as a digital download that will be available in the Gran Turismo®6 game from Playstation 3.

The OM Concept or Personal Mobility Vehicle is a one passenger transportation vehicle that was developed to offer the driver a stronger feeling of unity between them and the vehicle. This model also features several cutting-edge-vehicle-to-vehicle communication technologies.

Anyone who has ever watched an episode of West Coast Customs is familiar with the incredible custom vehicles that the team is capable of creating. Recently, Toyota and SiriusXM Radio teamed up with the show in order to create a custom version of the 2015 Toyota Sienna or the Sienna: Remix.

A few of the impressive features included on this model in order to create the ultimate listening experience are, 16 Speakers, a 360-degree A/V column that can rise out of the roof with two 40-inch LCD monitors, four subwoofers and a fully functional DJ booth.

“Our team seized onto Toyota’s Swagger Wagon concept to build a DJ minivan that is completely unexpected and sounds like a party ready to start,” West Coast Customs founder and CEO Ryan Friedlinghaus said. “As a parent myself, I love the idea of combining fun and music with family life. Modifying this Toyota Sienna really let our team get super creative with sound, light and look.”

When developing the concept for this model one of the main themes that the team incorporated was the concept of music bringing families together. They wanted to develop a model that showcased the power of music and how it can inspire a communal bond amongst young families and give an energetic boost to drivers in general.
