Sports (1957)
The Toyota Sports was a concept vehicle made by Toyota in 1957. It was equipped with a 697 cc engine, and the Toyota Sports X and Toyota Sports 800 were based on it.
Sports X (1961)
The Sports X was a concept car shown at the 1961 Tokyo Motor Show. Styling was similar to Italian show cars of the time, with slim pillars and a light roof. A 1900 cc engine was used with other mechanicals based on the Crown. It was not put into production.
Airport Limousine (1961)
The Airport Limousine was a concept car shown at the 1961 Tokyo Motor Show. Based on the Crown, the Airport Limousine was a 6-door wagon that retained the fins and side panels of the Crown sedan. It had three rows of bench seats, allowed seating for 9 people, plus luggage space in the rear section. The 1900cc 3R engine produced 80 PS (59 kW) at 4600 rpm and 14.5 kg⋅m (142 N⋅m; 105 lbf⋅ft) at 2600 rpm. The Airport Limousine was not put into production. The similar production Masterline wagon (also based on the Crown) had only 2 doors, 2 rows of bench seats to allow seating for 6 people (plus luggage) and simpler side panels (without fins). Toyota made another 6 door Airport Limousine based on the Crown in 1977. It also failed to make production.

Publica Sports (1962)
The Toyota Publica Sports was a concept car that was developed from the Publica production car. The first public viewing was at the 1962 Tokyo Motor Show. It was a strict two-seater with a single sliding canopy for entry and a small but high revving engine, a tuned version of the regular Publica's 2-cylinder boxer engine. It was further developed into the production Sports 800 but without the sliding canopy.
