Toyota Sera: The Car McLaren Copied

  • The Toyota Sera is the fun compact car that time forgot. While it may be based on the platform of an economy car, the Sera is anything but. The innovative butterfly doors were copied by the venerable McLaren F1, the panoramic glass roof feels like you're sitting in a fighter jet, and the car talks to you! The Sera makes for a good drive, not by its performance but by its immersion.

      Anything to look out for on them ? How do you get spare parts ?
      There is one for sale locally, needs tidying - thinking about buying it.

      ​@@lutomson3496Phase 3 is the hardest set to get (late 1992-1995) BUT they have the best safety features. Most people will get a Phase 1 or 2 though

    I completely agree with you Donald, design is what makes a car and what attracts us to them...I love your videos and I would love to see more videos on cars like these from the 70's to today's automobiles,thank you so much for your great car videos,keep them coming!

    Never seen this vehicle. Right hand drive. Nice doors. Very small engine. But sounds nice. Too bad it wasn't available here. Very unassuming car but nice. Lots of innovation. Fascinating. ❤💙👍🤑😎

    Dear Donald, excellent show , and I suddenly thought it would be an absolutely amazing idea you personally make a series "Concept cars Alive", travelling the World to look for the most amazing existing and of course driveable design studies and concept cars around.In public or private museums, manufactures and private collections.Nobody ever has done that, it could be THE "Only Audrain" show series.Give it a thought

    Its smaller but i think it has a 240sx look, the glass roof reminds me of the 280zx. For concept i always wanted to see the Lotus Etna produced
