The Toyota CS&S, (CS&S meaning Compact Sports
and Specialty) from the 2003 Frankfurt Auto Show, is a
4 wheel drive, mid engine 2+2 sports car.
The CS&S was powered by Toyota's Synergy Drive, a
hybrid drive system employing an electric motor to drive
the front wheels, and a 1.5 litre petrol and an electric
motor driving the rear wheels.
The CS&S is an attractive open top vehicle with the
ability to carry four passengers in style (rare for a
hybrid vehicle).
The small back seats of the CS&S are hidden by the
rear canopy when not in use, and the front seats can be
used as a tonneau cover when the car is parked to keep
the rain off, and thieves out.
The CS&S displayed advanced technologies in the interior
by use of a system called 'Space Touch', which uses holographic
projections to control various minor functions of the
car, such as air con and lights.
