Forget the Continentals of your past, or the big, long rear-drive concepts of the early ’00s. While BMW has proven that rear-wheel-drive c-segment size luxury works, with its 1 Series, Lincoln is turning next to the 2011 Ford Focus’ platform for post-global warming luxury. To prepare us for a CAFE-friendly world, Lincoln rolled out the C concept (for c-segment, and so far, without an “MK” prefix) at Detroit.

Toyota has nine vehicles, indicating the concept in the 2007 Tokyo Motor Show, some of whom have seen earlier, while others, such as 1 / X, we did not. Toyota mini-states in its press release that the name of this approach is pronounced “1/Xth”, as in the car weighs 1/Xth weight of vehicles of comparable size. Carmaker Prius uses its own as a basis for comparison, and 1 / X weighs about one-third of this hybrid, or only 420 kilograms. That’s 926 pounds. People. Featherweight light was made possible through extensive use of carbon fibre under the vehicle that keeps the weight down, but seemed to be strong enough to protect the driver and passengers in an accident.

Toyota 1 / X also has a green power that the combination of flexible fuel engine 500cc and plug-in hybrid drive systems. The combination of the engine is in the back seat, driving the rear wheels. Toyota called fuel efficiency that two times higher than the Prius in a package which is roughly the same size and four seats.

Design a good, Japaneriffic, but the idea 1 / X and technology contained in it really history.
