As part of the North American debut of the all-new 2011 Scion iQ premium micro-subcompact car, Five Axis has created a special iQ show car for display at the 2010 New York International Auto Show (NYIAS). Five Axis’ iQ show car demonstrates the personal customization synonymous with all Scions.

Elegance and sophistication were the primary influences for the iQ show car. This is evident with its unique exterior color called Titanium, consisting of pearl bismuth silver that is accented with black chrome.

Inside, the special iQ show car is appointed with custom leather-trimmed seats and door inserts and an Ultrasuede® EcoDesign™ headliner. Unique upholstery is provided by Little John’s Interior Concepts and custom floor mats were provided by Chilewich.

Performance was enhanced with the installation of a TRD Custom Big Brake Kit and a Tein suspension. The iQ show car rides on 18-inch Yokohama S.drive tires mounted onto five AD S6:F wheels.

gazoo-toyota-iq Toyota has announced a new limited edition version of the Toyota iQ tuned by GAZOO Racing. It will be launched in November 2009 and sold only through its Japanese Netz dealer channels. The GAZOO Toyota iQ will feature a customised suspension with lowered ride height, and 16 inch wheels with low profile tyres. Calligraphy-style livery has been splashed around the car to create its own look. But aesthetics (the bodykit you see on the car) will be supplied by Modellista.

Toyota’s iQ, Japan’s 2008 Car of the Year, , was prominently displayed in Toyota’s booth at the recent Tokyo Auto Salon with many different colors and variations. It’s a car that should appeal to most people who like the Honda Fit (or the Smart). It is stylish, very fuel efficient and surprisingly small for a car that seats four people.

It was one of the most popular cars with visitors at Toyota’s booth and indeed at the whole show. Gazoo Racing’s version wasn’t bad either.

Toyota’s in-house customization firm Modellista has introduced a pair of cosmetic packages for the all-new iQ mini car that is set to go on sale in Japan this November. The Modellista Version Maxi that costs around $4,000 is the sportier of the two packages as it adds a front spoiler, side skirts and a rear spoiler that houses twin sport exhaust tailpipes. The less extravagant Version Mixutre can be bought for the equivalent of $700 and it includes mirror caps, side window decals, a rear door lock cover and protective door strips which are available in various colors.

For those that aren’t contempt with the basic packages, Modellista offers many more accessories including 16-inch alloy wheels, a sport suspension and a different grille for the front bumper.
