Description from Toyota:
ToyotaThe FT-HS pairs a potent hybrid powertrain with essential sports-car fundamentals. This Toyota concept is a mid-priced sports car that integrates ecology and emotion in a concept that addresses the question, "What is a suitable sports car for the 21st century?"
Boasting a powerful 3.5L V6 engine, the FT-HS is coupled with Toyota's Hybrid Synergy Drive® to produce a target power output of approximately 400 horsepower and a projected 0-to-60 acceleration in the 4-second range. At a mid-priced market position, the FT-HS would be a true "attainable exotic" with 21st-century performance.
A sculpted front and rear remove mass around key functional components, while the roof has a distinctive scooped-out section designed to reduce aerodynamic drag and provide head room at the key areas.
The FT-HS's interior features create a dedicated driver's cockpit that includes a cross-car instrument panel structure and delta-wing driver pod. An integrated instrument panel surrounds the driver, creating an enclosed pod effect. Armrests flow seamlessly into the door and surrounding interior. Seating is optimized for a lightweight appearance and function: The seating accommodates four and then converts to a 2-seater when the roof retracts.

Unlike the new Toyota FT-1, this concept shows what Toyota can accomplish with a Hybrid Sports Car rather then the "Pure JDM" style there were going with on the FT-1. Along with the V6 engine, it probably had a smaller electric engine that it could use in a similar way that people use in Hybrid Supercars (Such as the McLaren P1).
