FXV (Future eXperimental Vehicle)
A MIDSHIP FOUR-SEATER — Toyota's FXV performance sedan of the '90 incorporate a midship engine placement which provides nearly 50/50 front-ti-rear weight distribution and the agile cornering capability such balance yields. A long 106.29-inch wheelbase helps provide a smooth and assures ample room for four passengers.
The FXV (Future eXperimental Vehicle) was a concept vehicle by Toyota that was first shown at the 1985 Tokyo Motor Show.
The FXV included both 4 wheel steering and 4 wheel drive with Electronic Skid Control.
The mid-mounted 2.0 L engine had both a supercharger and a turbocharger (with a ceramic turbine wheel), pistons made from magnesium fibre-reinforced metal (FRM), a distributor-less ignition system and a resin intake manifold.
The full colour computerised CRT displays had touch screens which could control the suspension, CD player, air conditioning, cellular phone and 8mm video display. Speed was projected onto a head-up display.
