Toyota EX-1 Concept car , ca.1969?

I can´t find anything about it on the internet, but I´ve found a frontal shot in a book that might fit...

Not bad for a "blind shot", eh?  ;)

Well done, grobmotorix

This car was presented by Toyota as the evolution of the 2000GT, at the November 1969 Tokyo Motor Show.  A strong emphasis was placed on comfort and safety. The stabilizing aileron extends from the roof electrically at high speed, not unlike some recent Audi's, VW's, etc. The side windows are fixed and the roof is tinted glass. An automated air-conditioning system was employed to maintain interior comfort.

The suspension was independent on all four wheels, with light alloy 13" rims. The front mounted engine was a twin-cam 5 litre V8.

Though it never reached production, some styling elements migrated to the first Celica in 1971.
