I've found these photos too, however my investigation makes the conclusion that it was introduced earlier than actually displayed.
Probably it was shown at Tokyo 1983 (I have no photos to prove that 100%).
However, the car was mentioned and most probably illustrated in Toyota's 40th anniversary book released in 1977.

Hello Arunas,

The magazine page your posted shows what Toyota's will potentially look like in 10 to 20 years from when the magazine was issued. The year of issue I found for that specific magazine in a Google search is April/May 1985. A period Toyota magazine ad I found refers to the year 2001 for the Asteroid. Of course here the year 2001 is intended as the year to when such a concept might be on the road. The clues I found so far are therefore pointing towards the eighties and not the late seventies.

I made my conclusion based on this book:

トヨタ自動車工業(株)『わ・わざ・わだち : トヨタ自動車工業株式会社創立40周年記念写真集』(1978.03)
