Toyota wants to reinvent itself in order to take back what it lost to other manufacturers. One key facet of their new image is supposed to be “fun”, as the Japanese automaker that focused solely on hybrids in the past will now create more enjoyable four-wheeled machines.
The little iQ city car that also served as a platform for Aston Martin’s Cygnet is supposed to go electric next year, but that’s not the end of what they have in store for its little chassis. Carscoop has caught a big... scoop with a set of patent images showing a racy version.
This isn’t some mildly hot version of the car, but a full on racer with wider wheel arches, bigger wheels, a gaping mouth, double exhaust and a diffuser. There’s a strong resemblance between this and the IQ Racing Concept revealed at the Tokyo Auto Salon earlier this year, especially when it comes to the wheel arches.
