Toyota revives the Supra, hybrid and other hybrid variants

Automotive rumors have suggested that the new Toyota Supra could return as a hybrid or even an all-electric supercar. Calty Design took all of its historic design cues from their sports car heritage/spirit as well as the recent design brand identity. Industry reports that the new models evolved from a BMW/Toyota engineering collaboration. The Toyota production version of the FT-1 (Supra) Concept will use 2.5 liter V6 mated with a hybrid drivetrain making more than 300kW. Interestingly the BMW version will use a 3.0 inline-six, so they will have distinct difference. The entry-level base Supra model will use a 2.0 liter turbocharged gas engine and a Lexus LFA-tech transaxle.

Toyota will also bring out a new sub-$17,000 (under their FT-86) entry-level sports coupe powered by a 1.5L hybrid setup.

Watch for them to be available as early as 2016.

...dang Playstation Gran Turismo already has it.



Beautiful Pebble Beach Graphite version.

Would be nice if they reintroduced the MR-2, even if it had a Prius drivetrain...

Is it just me or does the front end look like a batmobile?

I wonder if the engine is going to be an all new one or a 'borrowed' one. It would be cool to see the specs like if it has vvt-l.

The Toyota hybrid won't be a manual shift though.
