The Tokyo Motor Show starts later this month, and we'll see these cars fully revealed then—and hopefully gain some insight into whether Toyota might actually produce anything resembling them. With all the noise of late about loud voices inside Toyota clamoring for a new Celica, maybe we can read this concept as one step along the path of exploring how a fully electric GR-badged sports car might take form.
