Surrounded by concept cars and futuristic EVst the 2026 New York International Auto Show, one of the biggest design surprises came from an unexpected place: the Toyota Camry.

Built by Toyota CALTY Design Research and Toyota Motor Corporation, the concept explores what a performance-focused Camry might look like if it moved from design studio to showroom.

The result is striking. Finished in a vivid Inferno Flare orange with Midnight Black Metallic two-tone detailing, the Camry GTS Concept leans hard into motorsport aesthetics.

Tampa is known for its laid-back lifestyle, but many people living here don’t actually feel relaxed at home. The weather is great, the outdoor spaces have potential, and yet the day still feels rushed from morning to night.

Best known fir his 1956 song “I Put a Spell On You” and his sensational live performances, Hawkins appears here in full song, raining amoeba-shaped sweat down on a man wearing “armpit rubber,” like old fashioned galoshes, to keep the moisture at bay.
