[[1]](https://www.gearpatrol.com/cars/toyota-crown-signia-gts-concept/) If you follow Toyota's show builds, this is the one to look for at the show. [[1]](https://www.gearpatrol.com/cars/toyota-crown-signia-gts-concept/) Toyota calls the build the Crown Signia GT-S Concept. [[1]](https://www.gearpatrol.com/cars/toyota-crown-signia-gts-concept/) Toyota Motorsports Garage conceived and assembled it. [[2]](https://www.caranddriver.com/news/a74265465/toyota-crown-signia-gt-s-concept-revealed/) The Crown Signia has always had a station wagon look, even though its ride height places it in crossover territory. [[1]](https://www.gearpatrol.com/cars/toyota-crown-signia-gts-concept/) Dropping the body by almost five inches changes that stance. [[1]](https://www.gearpatrol.com/cars/toyota-crown-signia-gts-concept/) ## Body, paint and interior Toyota Motorsports Garage added widebody fenders, reshaped headlight surrounds and a revised rear end. [[1]](https://www.gearpatrol.com/cars/toyota-crown-signia-gts-concept/) The concept also has a front air dam, aggressive rear aero and cosmetic enhancements on the flanks. [[2]](https://www.caranddriver.com/news/a74265465/toyota-crown-signia-gt-s-concept-revealed/) Toyota custom-mixed a dark gray metallic paint with added flake, and red accents run through the concept. [[1]](https://www.gearpatrol.com/cars/toyota-crown-signia-gts-concept/) The exhaust was reworked with trapezoidal tips integrated into the rear aero package. [[1]](https://www.gearpatrol.com/cars/toyota-crown-signia-gts-concept/) Inside, the interior was reworked with performance-inspired upholstery touches. [[1]](https://www.gearpatrol.com/cars/toyota-crown-signia-gts-concept/) It gains seats with heavy bolsters and red piping and headrests with embroidered GT-S lettering. [[2]](https://www.caranddriver.com/news/a74265465/toyota-crown-signia-gt-s-concept-revealed/) ## Suspension, brakes and tires The concept rides on custom one-off Motion Control Suspension coilovers. [[1]](https://www.gearpatrol.com/cars/toyota-crown-signia-gts-concept/) Its brakes use front and rear calipers pulled from a Lexus RX 500h F Sport, which improve stopping power. [[1]](https://www.gearpatrol.com/cars/toyota-crown-signia-gts-concept/) The build team had to specially adapt that setup to make it fit. [[1]](https://www.gearpatrol.com/cars/toyota-crown-signia-gts-concept/) The wheels are 21-inch HRE units. [[1]](https://www.gearpatrol.com/cars/toyota-crown-signia-gts-concept/) They carry 295mm Toyo tires, which measure 11.6 inches. [[2]](https://www.caranddriver.com/news/a74265465/toyota-crown-signia-gt-s-concept-revealed/) According to Toyota, the tire setup brings an extra 20 percent of contact compared to the factory set. [[1]](https://www.gearpatrol.com/cars/toyota-crown-signia-gts-concept/) ## The powertrain stays the same The concept keeps the production version's 2.5-liter four-cylinder hybrid powertrain, with a combined 240 horsepower output. [[1]](https://www.gearpatrol.com/cars/toyota-crown-signia-gts-concept/) Toyota did not mention any powertrain upgrades. [[1]](https://www.gearpatrol.com/cars/toyota-crown-signia-gts-concept/) The only powertrain-related change mentioned is custom dual exhaust pipes integrated into the rear bodywork. [[2]](https://www.caranddriver.com/news/a74265465/toyota-crown-signia-gt-s-concept-revealed/) ## Last year's Camry and what it means for you Toyota brought a Camry of the same sporty persuasion to last year's show. [[1]](https://www.gearpatrol.com/cars/toyota-crown-signia-gts-concept/) If you want to see the Crown Signia GT-S Concept, SEMA 2026 is where Toyota is bringing it.
