Toyota Sera

The Toyota Sera (model designation EXY10) is a 3-door 2+2liftbackcoupe manufactured and marketed by Toyota from 1990 to 1995. It was only officially sold in Japan.

The Sera debuted in 1988 as the Toyota AXV-IIconcept car in a near production-ready form, and is noted for its mostly glass roof canopy and its butterfly doors, which tilt up and forward when open. A year later, the production-version Sera was presented at the 1989 Tokyo Motor Show. A vertically positioned and electrically automated model was also shown to demonstrate the butterfly doors and rear hatch in action.

"Sera" is derived from the future tense of the French verb "," which means "to be."
