The power may not sound bad at first, but remember that "hybrid" means it'll be lugging around 2 engines and a ginormous battery pack. It'll probly suck.
Troy Messom Feb 12, 2013
Talk has it, a 2.5 turbo charged 300kw under the hood even if its hybrid not bad? Hope that doesn't drive the price up to much
Chris Penza Feb 12, 2013
If they're sharing hybrid information with BMW for it I'm assuming it's a hybrid, which means it will suck
Kyle Malcomson Feb 27, 2013
Better than looking than anything designed in America that's for sure
Maci Kartchner Feb 16, 2013
Beautiful extremely nice car <3
David Lee Feb 13, 2013
Does no one remember how old this concept is?
Christopher Scott Feb 13, 2013
Looks like someone took a 2015 NSX & beat it with an ugly stick- then violently shat all over it.
James Myron Darnell Crabbe Feb 13, 2013
Kinda ugly.
Bradley Lloyd Feb 12, 2013
This ruined my day.. Like I honestly hate toyota now..
James Salaba Feb 12, 2013
How could they go from mark4 to this! Honestly!
Clay Williams Feb 12, 2013
It really is a terrible concept.
Patrick Schalk Feb 12, 2013
Never seen a turd in white before. Come on meow
Miranda Nearlydriftingondreams Pavelle Feb 12, 2013
Looks like the albino brick-smashed offspring of a catfish and a snowplow...
Tim Preisinger Feb 12, 2013
Matt, ok... Good to hear. :)
Dmitri Ivanov Feb 12, 2013
Toyota is such a fag.. They need to ditch that stuuuuupid idea of a 4banger hybrid.. And build a proper i6 turbo supra.. Look at the gtr.. Its epic.. Toyota dont do anything stupid please
Matt Piccolo Feb 12, 2013
@ Tim, no I was just kidding -_-
Adam Thomson Feb 12, 2013
Rubbish looking
Tim Preisinger Feb 12, 2013
Matt... In all honesty... You REALLY and truthfully think this looks good?
Victor Pitts Feb 12, 2013
Lolz@Toyota!
Sam Oglesby Feb 12, 2013
That looks hideous
Matt Piccolo Feb 12, 2013
That looks sweet. Still doesn't compare to the 4th gen though
Tim Preisinger Feb 12, 2013
Looks terrible. Ugh...
Pablo Herasme Feb 12, 2013
It looks dumb
Dylan Bruder Feb 12, 2013
This* not sure why iPod changed that
Dylan Bruder Feb 12, 2013
TGIF concept is hideous
Casey Labuda Feb 12, 2013
the mark 4 supra will always be the best
Christian Billman Feb 12, 2013
Now with more snow plow
Ben August Feb 12, 2013
Ugh no. This looks like shit. Especially no, with the NSX looking as damn good as it does.
Wyatt Gordon Feb 12, 2013
Thats pretty ugly
Corey Alan Kelley Feb 12, 2013
I liked that render they posted a while back of what this combined with the gt86 would look like But this is stall a awesome looking car I would take one any day
Description: It may also underpin the next-generation BMW Z4. In other words, that rear-drive platform could serve as the basis for both cars, although they will be quite different from one another. The Supra is r...

At least give it a 2JZ option...
Jake Dula Feb 13, 2013
Dude, don't even try that argument. Hybrid systems are just a crutch used to avoid the extra time and money to build a really great car with good old fashioned engine work. Hybrids add a lot of unnecessary weight and spoil the whole car on top of that. I vote TT (twin turbo) 3.0L I6, and that would do just fine on power and economy. If you want better mileage, use stop start and cylinder deactivat...
Jason Mordacz Feb 13, 2013
People seem to miss the point of a hybrid. The electric engine can be used to give an amazing torque injection! It's not all about fuel saving, if they tune this correctly then it would make for a great modern sports car!
Tim Preisinger Feb 12, 2013
If they build a new supra, I personally think a TTV6 would be the ONLY way to go...
Pablo Herasme Feb 12, 2013
Damn Regulations
Zaire Wilkins Feb 12, 2013
But at the same time no car company goes backwards. What you see is what you get
Matt Piccolo Feb 12, 2013
U don't name it the supra. Everyone would like the idea of Toyota making a second sports car placed above te fr-s, even if it is a hybrid. Just let the supra's name rest in peace (unless u bring it back properly) It's not complicated
Matt Piccolo Feb 12, 2013
Toyota. This is the one good model u have to your name. Don't screw it up. It's simple. Build it properly (twin turbo inline 6) or simply, build it with all the hybrid crap, but don't wreck the supra name. No one will care if its a hybrid as long as
Matt Marchant Feb 12, 2013
Fuck hybrid, twin turbo six or don't build it at all.
Garrick Rainey Feb 12, 2013
Exactly Chase, it's crazy! But I can see why they would do 4 cyl engines, even though it completely goes against the roots of the car..
Gabriel Scott Feb 12, 2013
I want another Inline 3.0l :(
Ray Liu Feb 12, 2013
No hybrid? U think everywhere else sells petrol as cheap as the states mate?!
Alex Bouckley Feb 12, 2013
Please no hybrid!
Josh May Feb 12, 2013
I officially HATE this concept bring back the old MKIV wing and maybe even a successor to the 2jz not some little f**kin hybrid 4banger this suck nothing is good about it except the fact that it will be built on a decent chassis
Lou Guerrero Feb 12, 2013
David's been suckin too many Subbie fumes. Every Supra including the '78 Celica Supra was an I6.
Zaire Wilkins Feb 12, 2013
Toyota popped a molly.
William Downs Feb 12, 2013
Really David.... Every supra has been an i6 none have ever had 4 cylinders.in them
Sam Harris Feb 12, 2013
Exactly David, all the other supras were 4 bangers. If anything this is going back to its roots. I think they can pull it off.
Chase Fecko Feb 12, 2013
Supra 4 cylinder, There talking a Nissan Z 4 cylinder. What's happening here? Who is asking for these?
David Guerrero Feb 12, 2013
Actually the MKIV supra was the only inline 6. All other generations were inline 4
Jake Dula Feb 12, 2013
Noooo! Not a hybrid Supra! Why Toyota, WHY?! Don't do that to a Supra, you stupid moronic hybrid-happy emissions Nazis! >=(
Ravi Narula Feb 12, 2013
How could they not do a single turbo inline 6? Don't give a car like the supra a little 4 banger. They should just build a new supra all together
Aaron Crisp Feb 12, 2013
Turbo inline 6. Stick to the roots.
Ashton Summers Feb 12, 2013
This should make it popular with turners.
Chase Fecko Feb 12, 2013
A BMW built on a Subaru platform. It's all coming full circle.
Brandon Chase Feb 12, 2013
Can we have a mini v8 like a 3.8L. That would be badass
A.J. Brady Feb 12, 2013
And four years to get a modified platform to market, that sounds long. It normally takes 3 to 4 years to get a whole new platform and car to the market. But the time could give them time to perfect the suspension to GT-R levels and capabilities.
A.J. Brady Feb 12, 2013
Give it an inline 6 would be great.
A.J. Brady Feb 12, 2013
That V6 would be too heavy and make the ride much harder to make great like the GT-86.
Dylan Bruder Feb 12, 2013
This kind of stuff interests me but I wouldn't consider owning one or anything ATM I'm still fairly old school
Lou Guerrero Feb 12, 2013
A lot can happen in 4 years but this sounds interesting
Description: Meanwhile, BMW is supposedly working on its next Z4 with a "beefed up version of the GT-86 platform." The German automaker is reportedly testing a V6 hybrid powertrain of its own that will o...

My fault
Trevor Brown Feb 12, 2013
*Keep the BMW's straight 6. Flat 6 is different, it has the cylinders horizontally opposed to each other like Porsches, Subarus, and the GT-86.
Pablo Herasme Feb 12, 2013
Haha, I really wasn't replying to his comment, but I see what he means, keep the BMW flat 6's
Lou Guerrero Feb 12, 2013
@Pablo, I suppose he means they use a straight 6 as opposed to a V6
Carlos Ernesto Garcia Feb 12, 2013
At Pablo, he means they hope they use a straight 6 as opposed to a v6
Rick Ross Feb 12, 2013
Pablo, I think he means he hopes they use a straight 6 as opposed to a V6.
Lou Guerrero Feb 12, 2013
The popularity of turbos waxes and wanes with technology. It's been going on since the 60s.
Kyle Jones Feb 12, 2013
Because they believe in turbos now all of a sudden
Pablo Herasme Feb 12, 2013
Companies use v6s now like they used v8s 10-15 years ago; its everywhere
Aislin Cooper Feb 12, 2013
I hope BMW doesn't use a V6
Haoliang Li Feb 13, 2013
Pretty good taillight. Still, could be more simple.
Zachary Sindelar Feb 12, 2013
This angle is awesome!
Ben Norton Feb 12, 2013
Looks to be a retractable hard top?
Josh May Feb 12, 2013
@Sam yeh if you like mr2's and del sol's
Mike Conrad Feb 12, 2013
Reminds me of the old early 90s MR-2.
Sam Oglesby Feb 12, 2013
Looks good from this angle
Carlton Salmon Feb 12, 2013
I love Valencia Orange.
Davey Edwards Feb 13, 2013
I like the looks of these cars, and I usually hate japs. But I looked at one and the quality is crap
Ryan Lopez Feb 12, 2013
Hey ur ebrakes on
Josh May Feb 12, 2013
Lol the Ebrake is engaged still cool pic
Sam Harris Feb 12, 2013
These cars look fantastic.
Aaron Crisp Feb 12, 2013
Why not?
Chad Romo Feb 12, 2013
That's my car. Minus the drifting
