The FT-Bh (unveiled today at the Geneva Motor Show) takes Toyota's Hybrid Synergy Drive to the city car segment popular in Europe and Japan. No details have been released about the powertrain but Toyota has said that with the car's ultra low 0.235 coefficient of drag it expects a 2.1 l/100 km fuel economy rating -- which roughly translates to 112 mpg. Of note, Toyota is also considering a possible plug-in hybrid version with a nearly unbelievable 0.8 l/100 km rating or... wait for it... 294 mpg.
Perhaps most importantly, says Toyota, the FT-Bh is not an ultra high-tech or ultra pricey model and doesn't use expensive composites. The idea behind the car is to make an ultra fuel efficient four-seater vehicle that will still be affordable.
A concept for now, even if Toyota does push ahead to move the FT-Bh into production, don't expect to see it on the roads for several years.
