The FXV (Future eXperimental Vehicle) was a concept vehicle by Toyota first shown at the 1985 Tokyo Motor Show. The FXV included both four-wheel steering and four-wheel drive with Electronic Skid Control. The mid-mounted 2.0 L engine had a supercharger and a turbocharger (with a ceramic turbine wheel), pistons made from magnesium fiber-reinforced metal (FRM), a distributor-less ignition system, and a resin intake manifold. The full-color computerized CRT displays had touch screens that could control the suspension, CD player, air conditioning, cellular phone, and 8mm video display. Speed was projected onto a head-up display.
