This year’s Tokyo Auto Salon saw the unveiling of an all electric sports car from the folks at the Toyota Engineering Society. The coupe, dubbed the TES-ERA EV, is powered by a 5.7 kWh lithium ion battery pack that supplies electricity to a 4JM electric motor developing 164 horsepower and a 248 lb-foot (335 Nm) of torque. The exterior fiberglass bodywork hides a space frame chassis and a height adjustable double wishbone suspension setup both front and rear. The fully-functioning TES-ERA EV concept features a KERS regenerative braking system, with a plug-in charging socket suitable for most standard outlets — making the concept highly eco-aware. Considering the most invigorating vehicle the Big T’s put out recently is the outrageously over-priced LFA, it’s good to see the world’s largest OEM adding some excitement to their brand.
