Pokemon ride?

TOYOTA TINY IQ CONCEPT

Look at that!
It seems to be a pokemon rider is right inside this world’s smallest four-door passenger car. Haha.

Nonetheless, this Toyota tiniy IQ set concept has ran into some serious competition in the micro market since it was first introduced to the public (Frankfurt last 2007). This car was unveiled with Tata’s $2500 Nano and Smart’s $11,600 American-ready Fortwo making big splashes.

Toyota has taken the conspiracy of silence off the for-sale version of its iQ mini car. This was set for production in late 2008 at roughly 100,000 units worldwide.

With each unit, you will have a choice of two gasoline engines and one diesel. This is relative to the powerplants for which will contribute to greater fuel economy and exceptionally low emissions. This is anticipated to start at around 161 grams per mile.

IQ’s production ends up measuring in at less than 10 ft., with a length of 118 in., a wheelbase of 78.7 in. The flexible interior space is made for three adult occupants, plus luggage.

Toyota engineers cope up with the idea of having the IQ designed long on style, while looking spacious in a glance. If you will notice at the fascia, the smoked headlamp units are set deep into the hood, with the fenders and door mirrors integrated with turn signals. Just imagine how flashy your drive is as you bring this ride down the road at night.

Inside, there is a floating-V center console that dominates the asymmetric dashboard. This includes a single dial at the base, used to control air conditioning. Within the arms of the V, you will find temperature controls with an LCD that displays airflow, twin face-level air vents and a 5.8-in. color touchscreen satellite nav display.

As you sit down on the driver’s seat, you will hold upon the steering wheel that is flat-bottomed ( which is intended for better legroom). If you wish to turn the entertainment system on, the audio controls on the wheel will amaze you.

Some other features of the IQ include the matte silver door handles and the ultra-slim seatbacks that are designed in a one-piece molding. Also included are the 50/50 split rear seats.
