Toyota has revealed a short video teasing a new concept car for the Detroit Auto Show – the Toyota Furia Concept.

Toyota are intent on convincing us they’re heading in a sportier direction with their cars, and it’s true that dynamics and styling seem to be coming to the forefront in new models.

That intent is demonstrated with the latest concept from Toyota – the Toyota Furia – which gets a tease ahead of a Detroit Auto Show reveal and appears to offer a sporty-looking saloon and a name that could have come straight from a video game – cue explosions and fire to demonstrate the Furia.

Toyota are doing what they can to keep details of the Furia under their hat until Detroit, but we can see the Furia has some carbon fibre details – like the lip spoiler on the boot – and new front an rear lights. It looks, especially in profile at the end of the video, quite a lot like the NS4 Plug-in hybrid concept we saw at Detroit in January.

Whether the Furia is a concept for the sake of it, or whether Toyota are pointing at a future model, isn’t clear.

Could the Furia be the next Corolla?
