Toyota Supra Successor Back in the Pipeline - Motor Trend (http://www.motortrend.com/future/future_vehicles/1205_toyota_supra_successor_back_in_the_pipeline/)

All-Wheel-Drive, 400-Horsepower Hybrid Expected, could be on showroom floors by late 2015 for less than $60,000.

the new sports coupe (it's unlikely to be called Supra) would employ an all-wheel-drive system and generate upwards of 400 horsepower. The car is rumored to feature a mid-engine-mounted, 3.5-liter V-6 hybrid setup mated to a CVT lifted from the new Lexus RX, but tuned for higher performance.

Dissappointed!

Instead of a hybrid motor,why not just stick with the tried,true and legendary 2JZ & Getrag 6 speed.

[bloodmack]

When I see this car, I do not think Supra..

same here, but it's still a nice looking car to me

+1... Hybrid? V6? AWD? Mid-Engined? :rukidding:

So they're gonna rebuild a supra? No need to advance in technology? The 2JZ is a great motor, I have one, but its so crappy on gas.

[bcrdukes]

CVT? dafuq?! :pokerface:

I strongly doubt that any 15 year old motor is the model of efficiency. Same reason the m3 doesn't still use the s14. While one of the most amazing engines ever produced for its time, the new m3 engine is more powerful, reliable and environmentally friendly.

[Over9K]

Sounds like Nissan.


Concept looks like a bag of shit, WAY to many lines and weird chiseled areas.

Nobody buys a Supra and expects great gas mileage,the Supra was not designed for that purpose,that's what the Toyota hybrid line is for.

Toyota can surely advance the 2JZ if they wanted to,they have the means to do so.

[Energy]

I like everything about the car except for the CVT. At least give us a dual clutch automatic for a sports car!

But if they actually make this then Toyota is on a roll lately.

[1exotic]

god damn that is ugly as fuck.

should name it something else, cause it doesn't share anything common to the MK4.

[jing]

You owe me a 10 second car, not a 10 minute car

[dinamix]

400 AWD hybrid? take my money!

[Recon604]

When i look at this car, I see the subaru brz

[optiblue]

too little too late~ all hail Hyundai that never gave up on performance sports cars :)

Honda and Toyota are playing catch up as they realized that no one is buying their CR-Z's :troll:

[bcrdukes]

I gotta give one thing to Toyota - they know how to build good V6 engines.

[vyrospec]

imo, the shape looks like a potential MR car.
but hybrid :heckno:

[RicePanda]

The edges and sharp angles you see in the attached illustration at top are how one artist interprets the direction Toyota is believed to be heading with its new sports car.

Meh, this has been done like fifty times since the spy shots of a "next-gen Supra" turned out to be the LFA.

Unlike the rear-drive FT-HS, the new sports coupe (it's unlikely to be called Supra) would employ an all-wheel-drive system and generate upwards of 400 horsepower.

Hybrid, not RWD, not called a Supra; so yeah, not a Supra. ~400hp is interesting though.

[dangonay]

If I can't add a few bolt-ons and have a 1,000HP daily driver fully street legal car, then it's not a real Supra. :rolleyes:

........Obama admin says otherwise :troll:

[twitchyzero]

more like a distant supra spiritual successor
obviously meant to target the NSX that will go on sale a year before it...which is gonna cost double the price :rukidding:

[JSS]

paragraph 5 sentence 1:

thank god. if this pans out, its gonna need to be ALOT different to be called a "supra successor"

IMO, its gonna need to compete with the GTR, be RWD and alot less ugly then the current drawing. that pic looks more like a newer mr-2

[jing]

This thing will decimate all after we put about 10 grand into it. Overnight parts from Japan if we have to

[hk20000]

it's more in line to become a MR2 successor...That image is some random artists' rendition you can ignore it.

[JD35]

I see an MR2/

[crazyazn]

I would agree with a few others here...seems more like an MR2 successor than a Supra successor especially with the mid-engine layout...although no RWD.

2JZ is way too old. Won't even pass today's V12 emission standards.

Phew. Doesn't deserve to be called a Supra with this whole new concept they have.

[SpuGen]

I don't really see the hard-on for the 2J.

The 2JZ wasn't even designed for the Supra. It was a great motor that just happened to work with the Supra.

The 2JZ debuted on the 1GS Aristo, while the MK3 Supra and the Soarer were still using 1JZ's. When they were designing the MK4 Supra, they based most of it off of the Soarer. (Basically the entire front end+ Subframes) It just made sense to throw the Newer 2JZ in place of the 1J to save on cost. The 2JZ was never designed to be this legendary. It was just a mass produced motor that Toyota fit in a bunch of cars, unlike it's rival the RB26; which was made specifically for the GTR. And it does exactly what the RB can, and it's way more reliable. And if you ever somehow blow one up, you can find a new one at the Junkyard for $2000, that's safe for 600+hp.

Actually, no, I do see the hard on for the 2J. They weren't even trying last time. I wonder what they would come up with if they tried.

Oh wait. They recently did :lol:sweetjesus:

Did you just say that the RB is more reliable?

It doesn't matter if the buyers don't expect good gas milage. Its the ever increasing emissions laws that will bend car manufacturers over.

[Tetsugen]

They should call it a Celica and throw it into WRC.:fullofwin:

[Nabatron]

^that pic of the car looks god aweful! front end is all fucked up!

[satek]

Stop reading at hybrid.

[Everymans]

Why do they keep making cars with no friggen bumpers? The lights will get smashed before the bumper does.

[StylinRed]

i hope this means toyota will make an 8th gen celica soon

although the 7th gen still holds up today doesnt look like a 13 year old design at all

[SpuGen]

Just gonna leave this here.
