2012 Toyota TES ERA EV Electric Sports Car Concept
2012 Toyota will built an electric sports car “TES-ERA EV” , which was revealed at this year’s Tokyo Auto Salon. Built by the Toyota Engineering Society (hence the TES in its name), the car is part of an annual skunkworks project made up of volunteers within the automaker and isn’t even technically an official Toyota concept car.
The TES-ERA EV shares that car’s gullwing door concept, though the car is altogether more modern looking. While tiny (roughly 10 inches shorter in length than a second generation MR2), it’s certainly not cutesy looking thanks to plenty of angles and a wide stance.
A proper rear-drive machine the TES-ERA EV makes roughly 165 hp and produces 247 lb-ft of torque. Weighing in at 2,500 lbs it’s not going to be a rocket ship, but should produce some modest smiles.
