Toyota FT HS Gallery

The FT-HS hybrid sports concept car will be premiered on January 7 at the North American International Auto Show, and we can expect 50:50 weight distribution and a 400+ horsepower monster with a drivetrain very similar to the Lexus GS 450h: a 3.5 liter V6 coupled to Toyota's Hybrid Synergy Drive (HSD) system (which could mean SULEV emissions, but no word on fuel economy yet). This could be the next Supra.

Toyota Volta Best Car

Toyota Volta Best Car

Toyota furnished to Italdesign-Giugiaro a derivative of its ultimate hybrid system, the one adopted on the Lexus RX 400. On the Volta, the 3.3 liter V6 petrol engine is fitted behind the rear axle and not connected directly to the wheels. Indeed, motion is ensured by two electrically powered engines, one per axle thereby securing all-wheel drive and enhanced safety. As such, this epoch-making mechanical layout paves the way to eliminating the traditional transmission and gearbox longitudinal encumbrance.

Alfa Romeo GTV6

The GTV-6 is a great car. Like all cars, especially Italian cars, they have issues, but nothing that can't be easily resolved. I'm a big fan of the GTV-6 and it's four-door brother, the Milano.

Best Car 1900 C Super Sprint

Best Picture 1900 C Super Sprint

Alfa Romeo launched a new sports model in 1954, based on its own 1900 saloon. The 1900 Sprint and later Super Sprint were very pretty, low slung sports coupes with a choice of either fixed head or open two seater bodies. Both models featured wire wheels and the distinctive Alfa front grille.
