No matter what the t2B, or its scale model concepts become, they are interesting design exercises just the same. While the t2B looks like it's derived from the xB, the differences beneath the skin aren't its only unique elements. The new concept is much rounder up front, while its winking-eye-like high intensity discharge headlight clusters are more aerodynamically shaped than those on the xB. A
