Not easy to understand. Is the FT-1 the Supra? Looks like yes. Will it be produced? Don't know. Will the BMW Z3/Z4/Z5/"whatever-its-name" be developed with Toyota? Looks like yes. What will be the Toyota equivalent? Something between GT86 [FT-86] (F4 2.0 NA) and Supra [FT-1] (I6 3.0 FI)? Looks like Nissan 370 Rival and Porsche Cayman/Boxster rival powered by I4 2.0 FI + Hybrid II. This makes sense afterall, Porsche Cayman/Boxster GTS will come with 3.4l F6 making 340 PS, and later F6 will be replaced by 2.4 F4 Turbo.

If the BMW Z4 will not have any I6 anymore, but I4 including the I4 M engine that the M2 is to get, this would rather be a Z3. So where is the Z5? Will it come later, before or never? And what about MR2?

My guess:
Toyota GT86 (F4 2.0 NA)
Toyota Mirai (I4 2.0 FI + Hybrid)
Toyota Supra (I6 3.0 FI - not BMW S55 engine)
Lexus RC-F (V8 5.0 NA)
Lexus SC (V8 5.0 NA + Hybrid)
Lexus LFA II (V10 5.3 + Hybrid)

Those are many sportscars for one global company.
