A version of Toyota's iQ concept, which has orginally shown in Frankfurt, is rumored to begin production next year. According to Automotive News, the little city runner will be powered by a motorcycle-derived Yamaha engine. The two Japanese firms are currently collaborating on a new 1.0-liter engine based on one of Yamaha's motorcycle powerplants.
Toyota is expected to produce around 100,000 units, when sales begin in 2009.
