Design, Research & Development

From imagination to exhilaration

It just makes sense: vehicles destined for American drivers and roads should be shaped by the people who know them best. That’s why so much of what rolls off our assembly lines here is imagined here. We have world-class design, research and development facilities throughout the U.S., from Texas to Michigan, Arizona to California. That’s in addition to thousands of the brightest thinkers from all across America who call those facilities home. Check out what they’re doing to put more inspiration, intelligence and fun into every mile.

Inspiration that moves you

This is where beauty meets brains. At our Calty Design Research facilities in Ann Arbor, Oakland and Newport Beach, some of the most innovative minds in the automotive industry are creating bold and innovative exterior and interior designs for everything from cutting-edge Lexus concept vehicles like the 2012 Lexus LF-LC to our halo 2020 Toyota Supra.

While the Ann Arbor, Michigan design studio works closely together with engineers at the Toyota Technical Center on North American production trucks and cars like the rugged 2016 Tacoma and the all-new 2021 Sienna, the California’s Newport Beach studio works on advanced and experimental designs such as the exciting 2014 FT-1, the futuristic 2017 Concept-i and the expressive 2018 Lexus LF-1 Limitless. The Oakland, California studio called the Toyota Innovation Hub focuses on improving the human mobility experience. Calty Design Research has contributed to the design of 55 production models – from the 1978 Celica to the 1997 Prius and on to the 2021 Sienna. With more than 100 team members and a $7.9 million investment, Calty designers have helped to create over 125 production, concept and NASCAR vehicles.
