This unning prototype was developed and built by I.DE.A Institute on Toyota’s styling (Tokyo Motor Show 1993)
The AXV-V of 1993 combined aerodynamics with advanced direct injection engine technology. Toyota claimed a Cd figure of just 0.20 - equivalent to an airplane - which helped give it remarkable fuel consumption. Other technological innovations included air suspension, an anti-collision automatic brake system, touch-shift transmission, and LCD monitors.
