Toyota has . The company has , pushed fully electric vehicles , and only released . Sure, it has that now, but the company is still deeply behind in the EV race — and what better way to catch up in a race than with a sleek, sporty coupe?

For the Japan Mobility Show, Toyota is rolling out two new FT concepts — FT being the same line that begat the and . One appears to be a crossover coupe, because every company needs a product lineup that includes a minimum of sixteen crossover coupes, but the other is a genuine, honest-to-god sports coupe: The FT-Se.

The car, as a whole, looks fantastic. We can all hope and pray that its yoke never sees the light of day, but the exterior styling should go into production as unchanged as possible — it looks futuristic as hell, and plays directly to the part of my brain that wants nothing more than to be a cyber ninja.

Interestingly, Toyota isn’t the only company bringing an electric sports car to the Japan Mobility Show. Subaru, Toyota’s current EV partner, is introducing its “Subaru Sport Mobility Concept” — that timing seems unlikely to be a coincidence. Yet, looking at the shrouded teaser photos of both cars, the two don’t actually seem particularly similar in appearance.

Yes, this is actually the highest-quality photo I could get my hands on.

It’s possible it’s all smoke and mirrors, lighting and camera tricks, and the two cars will turn out to be Toyobaru identical. Until their full reveals, though, we won’t know for sure — for now, they appear genuinely different in shape and structure.

For $1,200, This Plymouth Knows Where It’s Going
If you are on a vision quest across a vast plain, say the Bonneville Salt Flats or Vince Vaughn's endless forehead, then the horizon will be on both sides. Today's Plymouth is also a two-sided Horizon, but will its price prove to be the one true way? In Hugh Lofting's...

Forza 5 Is Car Porn That Teaches You How To Drive
Forza 5 Is Car Porn That Teaches You How To Drive
If racing games have served any didactic purpose, that purpose has been to teach Americans about obscure variations of Japanese wagons (ahem Nissan STAGEA 260RS AutechVersion). Forza 5 eschews any claim to breadth in exchange for stunning detail and a desire to teach all you monkeys how to not drive...

For $23,500, Here’s Your Escort Service
When presented with the word 'Escort' do you think of Ford's lamentable eighties front-driver? Or, is what comes to mind 'yay, date night!'? Today's Ford Escort will change your thinking - at least if you're an American - but will its price escort your interest out the door? Chrysler's current...

For $10,500, This Bavaria Takes A Stance
You can drop the bass, you can drop your pants, and as today's BMW proves, you can also drop your Bavaria. This Internet famous blue bomb is seriously stanced, but does its price also need to be… well, you know. With its massive 94% Crack Pipe loss, yesterday's illustrates that...

2014 BMW 535d: The Jalopnik Review
2014 BMW 535d: The Jalopnik Review
Torque, not horsepower, equals drivability. Accessible torque is what people need in everyday driving, not to rev the nuts off a car to make 200 horsepower. That's why diesel is brilliant. But years of negative stereotypes have painted a scarlet letter A all over diesel engines. It shouldn't. (: BMW...

For $29,900, Baby Kammback!
Today's Firebird features custom bodywork named a 'Kamm-tail' after the German aerodynamicist and auto designer who first proposed the turbulence-reducing shape, Wunibald Kamm. You'll need to decide if this Kammback's price will keep buyers coming back. Not coming back but in the back, that's where yesterday's keeps its motor. In...
