1983 Toyota Palette (Y-1) Concept

The 1983 Toyota Palette (Y-1 First Young Project) was designed by "Studio Argo." In 1983, a new project team was organized by Toyota as part of the Tokyo office. "Studio Argo," set up to develop a youth hit car, was itself a team of young professionals with an average age of 28.2 years.


The first project, "Palette" (Y-1), was a clean trial for the new studio. The second concept (Y-2) was shown at the Tokyo Motor Show in 1987 under "AXV-II." The third (Y-3), in 1990, turned into a serial Toyota Sera.
