2011 Toyota Supra comeback!

2011 Supra ? (FT-HS)

2011 Supra ? (FT-HS)

Not so long ago, we heard some rumours about Toyota and Subaru working on a small sports car (Toybaru). Now the car sites are presenting some more info about another sport concept from Toyota. (Or maybe it’s the same project?)

We saw the FT-HS prototype in 2007, and all Supra car enthusiasts looked at it with hope… as their beloved sport toy was withdrawn from production in 2002. Unfortunately Toyota officially stated that this project didn’t have the top priority. That was then…

Now more details are being unveiled, as the new CEO of Toyota Akio Toyoda will probably push something like this forward. The prototype looked really good, so even if they will cut half of these “too modern for the real world” design elements, it can still look interesting.
Probably it will be a hybrid, as Toyota is trying hard to be considered as “eco”. I really don’t care about the hybrid solution to be “eco”, what I do care is the extra torque, it can give the driver through the back of his seat. It is supposed to be a sports car – fun car, not some marketing / treehugging vehicle that just looks good. Fortunately for all eco sceptics, there is a good probability that non battery powered versions will be available.

2011 Supra ? (FT-HS)

2011 Supra will be a rear wheel drive, probably equipped with the same engine as Lexus IS-F – producing about 400 HP. Premiere date is still a secret, but it’s quite probable that the car will debut during one of the car shows planned for next year.

    I wish they use the 4.6l V8 on this car. It’s still a bad ass car.

    Loved my ’82 even though the body rotted out at 200,000 miles. Drive train was still great.

    Love the look of this car. They should dump the natural aspirated idea and strap in there a twin turbo like the 2jz which was the best supra they made. just my .02
