I think I read that it was. Toyota were pondering the possibility of a joint partnership with Mazda to use the MX-5 platform, similar to their partnership with Subaru for the twins and BMW for the Supra.
A real shame they never went past concept stage with the SF-R. Smaller and lighter is always better in a sports car (something Lotus seem to have forgotten).
I think the window for a new ICE coupe from Toyota after the GR 86 and Supra has likely passed, unless they make it a hybrid. I would love to see them build something like the SF-R or their recent FT-Se concept as an EV sports car, however. Just keep it light and small and they’d have that segment to themselves for awhile.
