Description: Toyota clearly went through a drought period over the past several years. Since the discontinuation of the old Supra, MR2 Spyder and Celica, the Japanese automaker pretty much abandoned the sports car...Add Comments13
Trent GriffinMay 06, 2012 MR2 more than Supra....given the shape and drive train...v6 hybrid...sounds like this on a lengthened chassis enabling the LF-LC to share components and be cheap enough to be profitable....Toyota killing 2 birds with one precision stone.
wfdownsMay 06, 2012 thats lexus, yes i know there toyota but still different branch. nothing to do with the convo about toyota
Jeremy SiebertMay 06, 2012 The LFA was an exception? No...it was the end of the drought.
wfdownsMay 06, 2012 problem with it being a hybrid, there not porsche and they created the prius, enough said, make the car but dont call it a supra
Jackson MichaelMay 06, 2012 Lol Logan how can you say it would take away power? Have you heard of the Porsche 918?
Brandon LidyMay 06, 2012 Yeah I think this is the third article I've read on successor. And then everyone whines about the possibility of it being a hybrid
Paul TrahanMay 06, 2012 It's that time of the year go Supra rumors already? Time sure does fly.
Nick StiMay 06, 2012 I will hate it if they make it a hybrid and Eco-friendly
Adam ZarytskyMay 08, 2012 Yes I've seen the ford GT, and that's I guess the closest you could come, but even that was changed. And I realize they want to sell cars, but with a car like the supra that's desired manly by tuners, I'm sure nobody would complain if it looked same
Cho DanMay 07, 2012 Isaac, hybrids are gasoline plus an alternative propulsion system. I know their heavy and had to tune but that wasn't the point I was making.
Devin BabynMay 07, 2012 Adam did you never see the Ford GT?
Jackson MichaelMay 07, 2012 But since the point of a company is to sell its product, they wouldn't do that
Adam ZarytskyMay 06, 2012 ... Think it would be a cool thing to try
Adam ZarytskyMay 06, 2012 Once, just once! I want to see an automaker revive a car with a new engine and interior and driving dynamics, etc... But leave the exterior close to how it was. I'm sure many would complain that it doesn't look different or modern/updated, but I.....
Isaac RezkallaMay 06, 2012 Cho hybrids are heavy and hard to tune
Corey Alan KelleyMay 06, 2012 Just for those of you who can't read this isnt the concept for the supra...
What Toyota should do is burn Nissan and just call the new supra the MKV and make it a mid-engine GT-R killing beast
Clint EdwardsMay 06, 2012 That's hideous. Let it rest in peace, don't dig it back up and make a frankenstein monster out of it.
gammo66May 06, 2012 frnt looks like a crashed s2000
Sam OglesbyMay 06, 2012 They should just let it die and create something new
Dave StewartMay 06, 2012 Just remake the old
98 body and restyle engine ad interior that or remake te old 2.0 supra and make it a 2jz sleeprr
Matt PiccoloMay 06, 2012 I would rather them just let the supra be... Its the one amazing car they have to their name but The mr2 isn't bad either... Just leave it.. If they want to make a high end sports car for the Toyota name brand, come up with a new name... Let the supra be?,
Jerry ColeMay 06, 2012 I do see some resemblance though, specifically the headlights and the shape of the nose
Paul TrahanMay 06, 2012 These pics are a few years old.
Ethan AmoMay 06, 2012 I think it looks good...I'd love to see the supra back into production
Description: Yes, Toyota is clearly working to bring some excitement to their lineup and with enthusiasm going strong for the GT-86, Motor Trend is reporting that Toyota is now considering a proper Supra replaceme...Add Comments9
Paul Yaya MondaresMay 07, 2012 Without all the profit from these "boring" cars, I think Toyota wouldn't have the money to fund the development and production of new sports cars.
Clint EdwardsMay 06, 2012 Yeah, I can't think of one new toyota I'd even be remotely interested in driving aside from the gt-86, and that was a joint venture with subaru. I really think they're making enough money to just not care anymore
wfdownsMay 06, 2012 only car u named that we didnt get was that caldina witch was just a 5 door wagon with the powertrain of the celica gt4
Phillip HolbrookMay 06, 2012 Then I guess the US won't get the new car either
wfdownsMay 06, 2012 @puneet. proble with ur argument, there all old discontinued cars when we call them boring were reffering to the period after they killed there good cars, basically once they stopped making the supra toyota became a boring eco company, granted they now have the gt-86, but one model dosent change there boring image.
Puneet DassMay 06, 2012 Clearly those who can't put Toyota and excitement together in one sentence never got the chance to experience cars such as the supra, Levin/trueno, caldina gt-t's, etc just to name a few cars the USA never got whereas the rest of the world did.
Bijan JahanpanahMay 06, 2012 Let's see, Toyota does not have excitement. I put those 2 words in a sentence!
Patrick SchalkMay 06, 2012 Haha Toyota and excitement don't belong in the same sentence.
Description: The GRMN (Gazoo Racing Meister of Nurburgring) has already undergone extensive testing so it makes sense for Toyota to make use of it. However, it's unlikely that the new car will have the '...Add Comments27
Sasa JungicJul 24, 2012 Listen Toyota! Rwd DD4s turbo V6, manual and dual clutch trans, LSD, 400- 450 hp hybrid is ok as long it's manual and dual clutch and not cvt. cvt is for smaller cars like auris prius and yaris
quadrophineMay 08, 2012 v6 is easier to place behind the front wheels. not quite as harmonious as an inline but you can still get the power out of it.
Alex ArvanitisMay 07, 2012 No love for another i6? V6 is nice but where's the love for the 2jz? The mk's would have been much weaker if they were v6's. They'd sound way worse as well.
I6's sound awesome
Scott GraceyMay 06, 2012 Cvt is really what kills it
Scott GraceyMay 06, 2012 Love the supra, don't mind the mid mounted. Dont mind AWD, like the idea, lost me at CVT tho, 6 speed manny and or 6apeed with paddle shifters
quadrophineMay 06, 2012 no awd... no cvt. we need a good fr drivetrain from our ricer friends with a decent 5 or 6 speed I'm sick of awd
Matt PiccoloMay 06, 2012 Just let the supra be, it's the one good car they have to their name... If they want to take another go at making a high end sports car that could live up to what the supra was and still is, go ahead just leave the supra name to rest in peace as an amazing car... Start off with something brand new
No PistonsMay 06, 2012 Sounds more like a mr2 replacement then a supra
David Pires-IhsaanMay 06, 2012 i can compete with the gtr, but that wont be its goal. it will try to be a crazily customizable machine like the r34. a car that isnt about breaking records, but having fun..
just like the ORIGINAL..
Alex ArvanitisMay 06, 2012 It has to be all wheel drive to beat the gtr. It has to be hybrid to meet emissions and not upset toyota's loyalty base. Both are likely goals of the design team.
Here comes another 3850lbs super machine that is nearly idiot proof while Eco?? Why.
Knox FerraroMay 06, 2012 Y'all realize all Supras ever made have 6 cylinder engines, right? And where turbos lag, batteries provide instant torque AND better gas mileage. As for the CVT, no. Just no.
Kyle JasekMay 06, 2012 Please don't make it a cvt, the most boring transmission in the world
Kevin IrishMay 06, 2012 More than likely they'll use the hybrid setup as a performance enhancer. Adding instant torque for faster acceleration and handling, just like the new NSX.
Tomas FranquelliMay 06, 2012 Lol. I forgot there's a reason I don't read the comments on CarBuzz. But good luck, Toyota, sounds risky but could be awesome.
Matt MoellerMay 06, 2012 Unless it resembles a supra, comes with forced induction and carries the Supra name why even bother throwing the name around? I have proudly owned two turbo supras, last Toyota's I ever bought.
wfdownsMay 06, 2012 thats basically all its gonna be a camry coupe. nice way to kill a ledgend toyota
Forrest WoodMay 06, 2012 I would totally agree, I personally wouldn't even call it a sports car. It's a hybrid, it's in it's own personal category
Nick StiMay 06, 2012 WTF? All wheel drive V6 hybrid? Kill Toyota now, it just sounds like a Camry will come out of this
Ethan AmoMay 06, 2012 I'm just sick and tired of automakers thinking hybrid systems work in sports cars, because they don't
Jon AshleyJul 30, 2012 with this small mid engine platform, it should be used to bring back the MR2. Maybe use a turbocharged/tuned version of the flat 4 from the BRZ/GT?
Anthony RichardsonMay 14, 2012 They should have picked a better color besides that maroon for the first public showing prototype in my honest opinion.
Brandon WhybrewMay 07, 2012 ugly remake of an r8. and yes supra have backseats. you must be thinking of a different car dave
wfdownsMay 06, 2012 @ dave... what in th world have u never been in or seen a supra in real life??? the supra has rear seats 2 up front and a bench style in the rear.. so that would be 4 seats
Janak SolankiMay 06, 2012 I think this looks unique. Looks pretty fresh instead of all the copy cat designs we see
Zach PaizMay 06, 2012 Oo hell no.....hell no!!! Toyota you better bitch slap whp designed this.. This is, dishonor to the supra name!
Tracy Keiser DronMay 06, 2012 Q-panel looks good.. Front needs a bit of restyling... Not bad!!
Phillip HolbrookMay 06, 2012 Wait didn't the Supra have four seats?
Marcin BednarskiMay 06, 2012 No it is not supra. It is frog killed by truck.
Peter SquireMay 06, 2012 It's good to have new designs. And who cares if it's a hybrid.
Taylor LittleMay 06, 2012 I like it but I'm seeing some lotus in it.
Ray GarciaMay 06, 2012 The front looks a cross between s200 and a wrx
Dave LewisMay 06, 2012 just needs the wheel arches filling and less plastic looking
Matt PiccoloMay 06, 2012 Has a nice shape yo it, the lights are ugly and their is some black plastic or whatever that needs to go but it had a nice stance and shaoe
Mark A. YoungMay 06, 2012 How is it ugly? It looks good.
Phil JohnsonMay 06, 2012 Kinda looks like a Lotus/MR2/RX8
James HenryMay 06, 2012 The first half looks like an r8 or that new Acura supercar
Antonio BorjaMay 17, 2012 that is terrible. you guys are blind
Janak SolankiMay 06, 2012 Pretty aggressive. I give it two thumbs up
gammo66May 06, 2012 back end looks like the vantage zagato IMO
Peter SquireMay 06, 2012 Possibly better than the old supra
Matt PiccoloMay 06, 2012 Pretty nice shape to it, change the lights though... And if they want this to be a supra successor it should have a wing like the old supra, it was one of the things that made it a supra.... But they would have to change the shape cuz this would look bad with a spoiler.... So just don't use the supras name!!
Jerrod SwensonMay 06, 2012 It has a shelf for your knickknacks over the wheels.
Matt SartoriMay 07, 2012 haha they drive on the wrong side.
Andy CoatesMay 07, 2012 The car's based on the Mk3 MR2 Roadster. The interior's just re-skinned, hence things like the passenger airbag outline and dash-top cubby box.
Tevin Xko DavisMay 06, 2012 Well at least the wheel on the right side
Tracy Keiser DronMay 06, 2012 Passenger air bag should not be outlined... Though it'be less partsto replace (the whole dashboard) if you crash it, it's a bit outdated...
David Pires-IhsaanMay 06, 2012 gazoo racing is like brabus for Toyota. A Meister means one who is knowledgeable about something specified. yup. dictionary definition.
Ben NortonMay 06, 2012 I want them to take the last gen supra, and make it exactly the same but with better technology. Still a 6 speed. Still rwd. No hybrid
Nick StiMay 06, 2012 Automatic.... This is all depressing
MR2 more than Supra....given the shape and drive train...v6 hybrid...sounds like this on a lengthened chassis enabling the LF-LC to share components and be cheap enough to be profitable....Toyota killing 2 birds with one precision stone.
thats lexus, yes i know there toyota but still different branch. nothing to do with the convo about toyota
The LFA was an exception? No...it was the end of the drought.
problem with it being a hybrid, there not porsche and they created the prius, enough said, make the car but dont call it a supra
Lol Logan how can you say it would take away power? Have you heard of the Porsche 918?
Looks good
Is this car a tuner
I get what he's saying. It would take away from the power of it. It would be ok if they could pull it off though
And why is that Nick?
Yeah I think this is the third article I've read on successor. And then everyone whines about the possibility of it being a hybrid
It's that time of the year go Supra rumors already? Time sure does fly.
I will hate it if they make it a hybrid and Eco-friendly
