I can say that Supra or a Better Sports Car than GT86 wont come out for at least 3-4 years from TOYOTA. 2013 GT86 will lunch in a few months, so no room for the Supra in 2012, still impossible for 2013-2015. otherwise, GT86 sales wont be that good. just the marketing strategy.
This rendering looks very current yet true to the brand. Many concepts go to the extreme and we end up with boredom after the final cuts have been made. Let's hope other brands learn this. So many great concepts are just that a concept. Toyota please make this car. I just can't see my self in any of your other cars anymore.
The MKIV Supra is a timeless car! They will have their hands full if they plan on building something to trump the MKIV. Hopefully they don't let us down.
I agree I think that rendering looks great just separate the taillights no middle tail light like they have illuminated in the rendering and change the rims and the car looks perfect
Good report - very informative and enjoyable. The only exception is right at the end where the announcer suggests the new Supra should have a turbo V8 or a turbo V6. If it's not a turbo'd *straight* six (I6), it's not a Supra. If BMW's N54 inline-6 turbo can work with today's emission standards, then why can't Toyota update the 2jz-gte to do the same (or better)?
They've destroyed the supra.......should have just tweaked it a little thats it! and the fact that their not putting an all Japanese engine in it to shame! what happened to the inline six?!! I would like to talk to toyota about this.
the thing is I doubt toyota / lexus will make any money from their "performance" line because they are JUST getting back into the game and have a lot of funds tied up to produce their "eco friendly" cars. LF-A costs them just as much as much they charge us to buy one. The FT-86 / FRS is a perfect step for them to get started and I intend to buy one to hopefully push the company back into the performance car market. A new Supra would be awesome... but I wouldn't hold my breath.
Ok now this I like... a lot! That's why the supra was great cuz it stood out. Sure it contributed to people putting huge wings on everything from civics to cavaliers and even a few camrys and other dumb cars. But still an awesome design. Sad the great ideas rarely get made.
Toyota is taking a little too long to bring all this to life. The same goes for Honda with their new NSX and they must bring the best drivers car back, the amazingly FUN S2000.
I hope they keep working on the front bumper some more because it looks too closely to the Nissan 350Z with the headlights and grill opening. Not really a fan of the 350 because, like the 2000 VW Beetle, you couldn't tell if it was coming or going. Not the same issue here but because of that it's left a bitter taste seeing the Supra like this. Side profile is top notch!
I'm sure the engine will be nothing like the legendary 2JZ =/ it will probably something more favored to economy. The days of turbo inline six monsters is gone
Hah a turbo'd v8 would be nasty but i would rather see a updated 2jz

Toyota are heading more towards economy, also they have always been conservative designwise.
