At earliest I see us possibly getting a new Supra when we get a second generation FT-86, so around 2017?

No offense CyberFormula, but I think your specs are a bit too close to the '86 and not close enough to what a high-end sports car would be. What I think a realistic A90 would look like if made:

3.0L V6, both non-turbo and turbocharged.
~360 hp (non-turbo), ~400 hp (turbo)
3,200 lbs - 3,500 lbs
~$40k-$45k (Base)

Hopefully with a targa top and liftback to carry on the Supra tradition. Unfortunately, I don't see Toyota making a new inline 6 for it, or even using a flat 6 from Subaru for it. I'd imagine they'd either use one of their current V6 or a new V6 to power it, hopefully aluminum block and head to reduce weight. Maybe even a V8 to get the necessary power, which would also put it on par with its competition. If its a 6 cylinder, its got to be a 3.0L though, just for the heritage bit.

Something like this but without the ridiculous spoiler they put on it. Hopefully if it does come out its design has shoutouts to all three Supra generations and doesn't draw on the MKIV too heavily, although a completely modern Supra similar to the FRS might not be too bad either.

The flat 6 is suggested as it will build upon the balance from the FT86. When i was thinking flat 6, i actually was thinking about Porsche's flat 6 engines, but of course this will obviously be sourced from subaru.

If an STI with 2.0L Turbo can go 300hp, i'd imagine a set up of a flat 6 turbo can go above 400hp.

Perhaps they can trickle down technology from the LFA. But realistically speaking, i think our generation is heading to fuel economical sport cars. So your thinking is still too "current". If they're gonna make something like a new supra, i don't believe they will have the specs of a V8. At most it will be a 6 cylinder. The configuration can be debated, but i still believe a Flat 6 is best. I am also leaning more towards a 2.0-2.5L engine rather than a 3.0L. In addition, probably a 330hp range is more realistic. With this i think a 34k-36k price tag.

But this is just all imagination. I take note of what BMW is doing right now. There next M coupe is going downsized. They're all downsizing.

Pricewise, I think it'll be more in the ballpark of 50-60K. I'm just glad to see that they are going to proceed with bringing back the Supra but I agree, it's going to be 5 yrs+ until we see a concept. I wouldn't mind an I6 TT, turbo V6 or even a Flat 6. Just make the car with the similar principals as the FT86; awesome looks, low cog, excellent handling and raw.
