Digital artists have a knack for creating the unthinkable and this latest rendition of the Toyota Fortuner Legender is a prime example of that.
A lowered Toyota Fortuner Legender concept has been spotted online. Note that car customizers often display their creativity by devising unique iterations of regular cars. Fortuner is the most successful 7-seat off-roading SUV in India. It has been at the top since the departure of Ford Endeavour from our market back in 2021. As a result, there have been new special edition models on offer including the Legender. It is the top-of-the-line trim. For now, let us stick to the details of this virtual rendition.
Lowered Toyota Fortuner Legender Concept
The specifics of this creation come from low5100w on Instagram. It captures the unique stance of the Legender. The first thing one notices is the lowered appearance. This is commonly referred to as bagged design. The suspension of the Fortuner has been significantly lowered in this illustration. In general, this leads to a lower centre of gravity which elevates the handling characteristics of any car. However, I feel it looks out of place for a rugged and butch SUV like the Fortuner. The very essence of an imposing road presence is lost.
Completing the unique demeanour are ultra-low profile tyres with massive alloy wheels. These tyres offer immense traction due to their width but the compromise comes in the form of ride quality. Since the rubber in the sidewalls is thin, the occupants could feel the undulations of the road inside the cabin. Also, the tyre comes too close to the wheel arches of the SUV from the inside. This often leads to the rubber touching the inside of the wheel arches. However, these issues crop up in the real world. The virtual renditions are free from such problems.
Our View
I have reported many intriguing digital concepts of various cars in the past. The best aspect about these is that the designers are not bound by physical limitations. Hence, they are able to demonstrate their creativity to the fullest. This lowered Toyota Fortuner Legender concept showcases just that. Even though we don’t relate large SUVs with the bagged body type, it is possible in the digital realm. Let us hope to keep getting such thought-inspiring versions of regular cars.
