A MORE CONSIDERED COLLECTION
These are existing vehicle profiles grouped by their recorded classification. Read each profile for its own source notes, image context and production scope. A shared collection does not establish that different editions or chassis are the same identity.
THE COLLECTION
76 profiles
Toyota 1936
The Model AA marks Toyota’s transition from an industrial ambition into a passenger-car manufacturer. Introduced in 1936 under the Toyoda name, its streamlined sedan body and six-cylinder engine belong to a programme…
Toyota 1947
The Toyopet Model SA brought a small, technically ambitious sedan into Toyota’s post-war range in October 1947. Its backbone frame, independent suspension and compact four-cylinder engine make it more than a historical…
Toyota 1965
Toyota’s first production sports car paired a 790 cc air-cooled flat twin with an exceptionally light body and a removable roof panel. Introduced in April 1965, the Sports 800 used economy of…
Toyota 1967
The Toyota 2000GT joined a low, in-house-designed coupe body with a Yamaha-supported engineering programme and a twin-cam straight-six. The production model arrived in May 1967, turning a striking motor-show proposal into one…
Toyota 1967
The open-top 2000GT made Toyota’s sports car part of You Only Live Twice in 1967. Toyota documents two prototype-based cars converted for the production, creating a memorable film identity that is distinct…
Toyota 1969
The EX-I was Toyota’s 1969 vision of a two-seat fastback for a faster future. Its covered headlamps, glassy cabin and strong upper spoiler made it a striking show car. The documented reference…
Toyota 1975
The MP-1 explored how a Toyota could serve a wider range of uses than a conventional sedan. Presented at the 1975 Tokyo Motor Show as a multipurpose wagon, it combined a compact…
Toyota 1977
The familiar Sports 800 body concealed a very different experiment in 1977. Toyota’s gas-turbine hybrid research combined a turbine with electrical energy conversion long before the Prius. It belongs in an archive…
Toyota 1983
The FX-1 brought Toyota’s experimental electronics, aerodynamics and chassis systems into one low coupe in 1983. Its contemporary announcement supplies unusually detailed engineering context, making this a substantial research-car story rather than…
Toyota 1985
The Toyota 222D was an ambitious rally-development project associated with the proposed Group S era. Toyota’s retrospective places the first complete prototype in February 1985. Its competition purpose and unusual packaging make…
Toyota 1987
Toyota presented the FXV-II in 1987 as a running prototype combining a 3.8-litre V8, four-wheel drive and active four-wheel steering. Its significance lies in the integration of those systems within a complete…
Toyota 1988
The Supra 3.0GT Turbo A was Toyota’s explicitly limited 500-car special announced in August 1988. It belongs to the A70 generation, with a specific competition-linked identity that should remain separate from an…
THE RARITY RIDES STANDARD
A limited offer is not automatically a completed-production total. A surviving vehicle is not a complete factory census. We keep those distinctions visible and link each collection back to the individual profile’s evidence.
