performed an exhibition run during the 1970 Fuji 1000 km, driven by Hosoya, Kawai, and Kukidome. An example of the Toyota 7 Turbo is exhibited at the Toyota Automotive Museum in Nagakute, Aichi. The car makes occasional appearances at automotive festivals such as the Toyota Gazoo Racing Festival and Goodwood Festival of Speed. Toyota used the 7 once more in 1970 as a base for the EX-7, publicly shown at that year's Tokyo Motor Show. The turbochargers were removed from the V8 engine to bring the power down to while the bodywork was a streamlined coupe design similar to other supercars of the era. Accidents The Toyota 7 project was tarnished by two fatal testing accidents, which ultimately led to Team Toyota abandoning plans to enter the 24 Hours of Le Mans and the Canadian-American Challenge Cup, ultimately resulting in the end of the project in 1970. On 29 March 1968, Toyota survived a near catastrophe during testing for the upcoming Japan Grand Prix, when Yoshio Otsubo crashed through the guardrail at the 30° banked corner at Fuji, while driving the 3-litre 415S. Otsubo miraculously survived without any major injuries. He parted ways with Team Toyota at the end of 1969. Death of Sachio Fukuzawa (18 June 1943 - 12 February 1969) was one of Team Toyota's original factory drivers, starting from the team's inception in 1966. As a racing driver, fashion executive, designer, and model, Fukuzawa was one of Toyota's most successful and prolific drivers. On 12 February 1969, Fukuzawa was taking part in a private test session at Yamaha's new test course in Fukuroi, Japan, driving an undisclosed closed-cockpit prototype with the 3-litre 61E engine installed. At 11:45 AM local time, Fukuzawa's car lost control at the end of a straightaway, swerved off to the right, and crashed into a metal signpost. The car then skidded off an embankment, rolled over, and caught fire. Hosoya, who was also taking part at the test, arrived at the crash site and attempted to free Fukuzawa from the burning vehicle. However, Fukuzawa died instantly of head injuries sustained upon impact with the iron signpost. Toyota did not provide photographs of the accident vehicle to local authorities, citing confidential trade secrets. In fact, the accident vehicle's remains were disposed of after the accident, and photographs of a different car were given to local police for the investigation. Toyota then stated that the
