The Toyota Bionic+ Concept is a design study of a futuristic three-seater vehicle that explores the use of bio-technologies and materials. The author is Coventry University graduate Tomas Jankauskas.
Toyota Bionic Plus Concept Design SketchThe design of the Bionic+ Concept by Tomas Jankauskas takes inspiration from the 1965 Toyota 2000 GT – mainly in the wraparound windshield and curved rear roofline.
The open-wheels layout is combined with a shooting-brake-like body with surfaces defined by straight lines.
Among the distinctive elements are the rear-hinged scissor-doors.

The body and chassis are made of a reinforced bioplastic material consisting of kenaf – a plant in the Malvaceae family – and polylactic acid (PLA) – a biodegradable thermoplastic polyester.
The cabin has three individual seats, with the passengers seating behind the driver.
The original driving controls are inspired by kite surfing and the reins used on horse-drawn carriages.
Additional technical highlights include a powertrain with a solid state lithium polymer battery and super capacitors and solar cells which use carbon nano tubes.
