I agree I think it will likely look very close. On a side note am I the only one who like the production 86 better? At least the front?

That is so disappointing - I was hoping for something more aggressive/special than this.
It looks like a neutered shadow of its former self.

As for the S-FR, no thank you.

I'm in the other camp myself. After seeing the FT-1 in person numerous times, it's absolutely gorgeous. After seeing everything come out these past few years, only the FT-1 and the new Ford GT captivate my attention. I could stare at both of them on a carousel for hours. I actually feel a little sorry for the LFA when looking at the FT-1.

Agreed on the S-FR. Great idea and I love small light cars, but enough with trying to be cute and ending up at ugly. The front grill and rear bumper look inspired by a $50 bluetooth speaker.

People said the same thing about the LF-LC.

Apart from the rear end, I think Toyota improved on pretty much every aspect over the concept LF-LC for the production vehicle. Unfortunately, the concept LF-LC rear looks like they were going after Bruce Wayne/Batman and decided to settle on Robin instead. Perhaps the 'F' sport will fix that.

Haven't seen the FT-1 in person, and I suspect I would like it much more than I do the photos. Looking forward to seeing it.

It's really a no-brainer to have it as the new "Supra", If they can make a new NSX, why not? And hopefully mazda can follow suit with another Rx-7.

jlugo711 · 05-11-2016, 11:33 AM

People say they want it to be the new "Supra" but I just have a strong fear that it won't live up to the legacy and will end up like the new NSX.

MisterSheep · 05-11-2016, 11:49 AM

Got excited to see this thread bumped.. But still no new news about the new car:/

YukiHachiRoku · 05-11-2016, 06:46 PM

hmmm that is for the "ultimate trim level", I wonder if lesser trim will be N/A V6, or perhaps a N/A I6?

I would be so happy if Toyota released a lightweight NA inline 6 supra.

As long as it's not anything like the old NA Supra. Those things are slow as balls. Borderline undriveable.

I hope the price tag dont be something like $45k +

Twin turbo v6 made with aluminum and carbon fiber?

You bet your ass it's probably going to start at least around 50k, and I think I'm ok with that.

What worries me is that it ends up being some 80k+ car and at that point why not just get a Cayman S. From the looks of it it's probably going to be this way too, in order to be a competitor against the NSX and GTR.

They really need to aim this car just right, at the 40-50k mark where there's pretty much no respectable sports cars, but chances are small.

RichardsFRS · 05-12-2016, 06:41 AM

Pretty incredible, but probably not very affordable to the average auto enthusist. I don't see a lot of us rushing out to buy one unless they come into the market at 40k but I don't see that happening. I see an over 100k car
