Toyota provided flights from Halifax, Canada, to Tokyo, Japan, and five nights in a hotel so we could attend the Japan Mobility Show, plus subsequent briefings and test drives. Ars does not accept paid editorial content.
A booth full of concept cars is nothing new at an auto show. This year at the Japan Mobility Show, though, Toyota called its entire booth a concept. The concept was "Find Your Future," and it was meant to show how electric vehicles can be fun and flexible in ways that internal combustion vehicles can't.
Toyota also highlighted an internal combustion vehicle that offers even more flexibility than its concepts. One will go on sale in Asia in the next few months, while the others may never see pavement.

The highlight was a sharp-looking electric sports car concept called the FT-Se. Toyota didn't provide many details, but it described what the concept means for future production Toyota EVs.
