Toyota Racing Development (TRD) is preparing a Supra that's been cranked up to 11 for SEMA, having drawn inspiration from a classic Supra concept. At this point we only have a shadowy video to work with, but the Supra 3000GT Concept certainly looks like something special. Down back there's a towering rear wing with a smaller spoiler worked into the bootlid. Although it's tough to tell, it looks like there'll be an angry diffuser as well.

The new Toyota Ultra-Compact EV, which will be displayed at the 2019 Tokyo motor show later this month, is one of the first vehicles from the company's pivot toward electric cars, with 10 EVs now due by the early 2020s. At just 2490mm long, 1290mm wide, and 1550mm tall, Toyota's new electric car certainly earns its "ultra-compact" tag. To put it into context, the Ultra-Compact BEV is 205mm shorter and 373mm narrower than the Smart ForTwo currently available in Europe.

Leaked photos of the next-generation Toyota Yaris completely undisguised were published online overnight. Like earlier spy photos, this car features flared wheel arches and a curvaceous body. From these images posted by Newsauto we can the new Yaris has LED headlights, a large, gaping grille, and an aggressively-cut front bumper.

Toyota has joined Ford and Mitsubishi in offering potentially life-saving active safety technology standard in its ute-based family hauler, the Fortuner, upping pressure on Holden and Isuzu to follow suit. The entire Fortuner range gets autonomous emergency braking with pedestrian and cyclist detection (daytime only), adaptive cruise control, lane-keeping assist and speed sign recognition as standard for the 2020 model year, following a similar update to the related HiLux ute earlier this year

The second-generation Toyota Mirai will be launched in 2020, Takeshi Uchiyamada, the Japanese automaker's chairman, has confirmed. According to Reuters, Uchiyamada made the revelation in Tokyo at meeting on hydrogen energy with ministers from around the world. We don't know anything about the second-generation Mirai's drivetrain, but it's possible it could use some of the hydrogen fuel-cell technology being developed jointly with BMW.
