I always get so excited when I see threads like this pop up.
Then the disappointment comes when I notice it is completely unfounded and filled with the typical bickering and bench racing. It was Toyota's flagship car for a decade, and it should be back in the lineup. There are not many late 90's cars that still look good today, and the Supra is one of them.

"have gleaned from their previous hybrid models"
I'm sad that we're gonna have to go through this dumb transition period of half-gas/half-electric cars. I hope I can skip it by riding the evo out until good batteries arrive and make gas obsolete. |

I believe my WRX will last until I can get a model 3 or one of it's (non-existent) competitors. The model 3 would cover at least 90% of my driving, with only the once/twice a year outlying drive to Moultonborough, NH from central CT at 230 miles on way. I might even be able to make that work with one quick-charge stop on the way in Worcester as we stop for food anyways. The only somewhat-unknown is battery degradation over the life of the vehicle in New England; I'm not a "3-years and trade-in" car person, I'm a buy it and run it until it makes more financial sense to replace it (or until I get bored of it). maybe I get a Tesla model 3 and my wife gets a Prius so we can take that on long journeys instead, since she clearly doesn't care about cars. I don't know, time will tell, but full electric is coming. |

"A Toyota-developed sports hybrid system will also chip in assistance to the front and rear axles with a derivative of the technology found in Toyota's TS050 Le Mans racer, with battery power stored in lithium ion cells."
I don't think it would be wise for Toyota to bring up any association with Le Mans in their marketing for the Supra successor (never mind the reasons behind their recent failures at Le Mans). At least that's how most other car manufacturers talk up their sports cars by associating them with winning race/series efforts. Unless they actually win the thing between now and when the new Supra actually goes into production. Last edited by hi5.0; 07-13-2016 at 02:10 AM. |

BMW Z4 ends production next month and expect a New Z5 (Supra shared platform) into production later in year and the Toyota later in 2017 as 2018 model. I hope they keep price down cause that's what killed the last one along with TT Z and RX7 and a few others,

The next Supra is a evergreen myth along with the next Bronco, RX-7, and mid engine Corvette. I'll believe it when I see it.

I'd bet dollars to donuts it's at Tokyo Auto Salon; or at least a production-realistic and probably Supra-badged (rather than FT-whatever) concept will be. We're definitely past the pie-in-the-sky concept stage all the past concept maybe-Supra's have stalled at since the mkIV. The only question is how good it is and what price range they are targeting; I'm guessing at ~Corvette-level pricing based on all the rumors. Last edited by Skunkers; 07-13-2016 at 11:41 PM. |

Let's hope its not priced anywhere near the new NSX territory or follow the GT-R's path of starting as a great $/performance car to constantly ballooning in price yearly.

Is it really happening this time? Yeah, considering it's size, it could be also be the next GT86.

Possibly. But the long hood tells me there's something in there larger than a flat 4.
And the brakes are pretty big, as well as the wheels. |

I see more BMW in the car then anything from Toyota. Its has a BMW interior. A lot of the body lines look like a Z4 of some sorts.

What I can see is how they derived the Supra from the Celica. (Used to be Celica Supra). Maybe they're planning on a FT86 Supra. --kC |

It also looks a good deal bigger/taller than the 86 which would be totally dwarfed by that minivan behind it which it is not. Another thing you can see it follows the general shape and look of the FT-1 even tho it's a LOT smaller. I saw these comparo pics. http://www.supramkv.com/threads/visu...1-concept.359/ |

The headlights and tail lights are most likely not production. And it's probably missing some aero. Or the front bumper is either not production or has a lot of padding on it. |

This is not the BRZ; it has a BMW interior. Lexus-style gauges. Looks like there is a 7k redline so maybe a B48 or B58 is in there? BMW and Toyota have talked about a sports car collaboration in the past and this seems to be it. Looks like a mashup of the Z4 M coupe and the FT-1 concept.

I'm guessing the rear tails are just slapped on there and the camo is hiding curved LED's on those awkward-looking flares. That'd be in line with the FT1 concept.
Also betting the headlights are just stuck on there, they look way too bland for what's supposed to be a halo sports car. But then again, Toyota IS the king of bland... Side profile of the front bumper reminds me of the older 911's with the fried egg lights. |
