Toyota 1 X Hybrid Concept

The name, one tenth, refers to the cars weight which is supposed to be about one tenth the weight of its rivals (though it’s rivals would have to weight four tonnes for this to be factual).

In keeping with its tradition of highlighting new automotive possibilities the 1/X is a concept vehicle that redefines from its very roots the idea of what it means to be environmentally considerate. Toyota claims that among its attributes, the concept car aims to harmoniously coexist with people and society.

I simply love covering the concept car section. The beauties that the stalwarts dish out are simply amazing, the Prius for example. The new kid on the block is the 1/X plug-in hybrid concept from Toyota. This light-weight beauty is almost a third the weight of most concept cars thus saving energy and using half the juice of the Prius. The car maintains a slim form thanks to Bio-plastics; the frame is made of a polymer using renewable plants and reinforced with carbon fiber. Even its see-through roof is made of hard, light and exotic man-made materials. The cool bank of LED headlights across the front look really hep.
