The first was LFA mule. Weird thing is it was Caught testing after LFA was being Produced and sold. Many are assuming that this is LFA-2. No words from Toyota on the Successor of LFA yet

GRMN This concept look good, and very promising. It could well be the Supra, it look too expensive to be an MR2.

Keep on dreaming. Toyota Love birds Successors are no where close to be Concept or done. Rumor floating around though

EXCLUSIVE: Toyota to shock with Supra concept for Detroit Auto Show?


Click here to view photo gallery


Quote:
We've written about approximately 187,000 rumors about a return of the Toyota Supra to the land of living cars. There are a couple of good reasons for this: first, Toyota won't stop dropping hints about a new halo sports car. Late this summer, Toyota sales guru Kazuo Ohara called a Supra successor "one of the options we have" – a comment followed by a hint that there would be "better news" on the subject in the future.

The second reason for all the Toyota tales is, of course, that we all have missed the Supra since its departure from the US market in 1998. So, when a member of the Autoblog team is party to a nudge-and-wink-filled conversation about a new Supra concept headed to January's Detroit Auto Show, we tend to listen up.

A 400+ horsepower hybrid sports car would match up pretty well with the upcoming NSX.

Recently, a few very well-placed members of the Toyota team indicated to us, in not-so-cryptic terms, that the Japanese automaker is ready to shock the world with a Supra concept car for this year's shindig in the Motor City. Further, the indications we've been given are that this "concept car" will signal broadly about a production version still to follow.

In 2007, the FT-HS concept (pictured) seemed like a perfectly promising Supra replacement, right before the economy fell off a cliff and everyone in the business shelved all non-essential product plans. This year, however, there'll be about 16 million cars sold in the US and a 400+ horsepower hybrid sports car would match up pretty well with the upcoming Acura NSX from rival Honda, not to mention president Akio Toyoda's mandate to shed his company's staid image.

Of course, on the record, Toyota is still staying perfectly mum – not only on the topic of the previously rumored gas-electric powertrain, but on the existence of the concept itself. Our requests for any official confirmation have been met with firm retorts of approximately "no comment" from our friendly Toyota PR staffers.

Still, the pattern of executive-dropped clues about a new sports car follows that which composed the achingly long lead up to the eventual Toyota GT86/Scion FR-S/Subaru BRZ. We'll have to wait about a month to see just what Toyota has under the sheets in Cobo this year, but we're crossing our fingers and hoping the new year brings with it a new Supra, at long last.

Dream on, the Supra concept will not be here until next year at the least. There are a few rumors and facts that I gathered reading interviews from Toyota.

Tada San will be the Executive Producer of the next Supra.

According to Tada San, and available technology, to keep the Supra performance (Legendary) and the price in the 50sh is impossible.

But Mr Toyoda want the Supra Successor.

Tada San is too busy with the 86, so Tada San turn around and seek helps from all within Toyota departments.

Tada San came up with an Idea.

New Supra will have I4 Turbo charged, taken from LF-NX.

New Supra will have next gen Prius Hybrid super system...together with Super Capacitor from Racing technologies.

New Supra will be based out on the already developed 86 Chasis with new exterior styling.

All in All, Tada- San is hoping to see 3200 lbs curb weight, 400/400 Hp/Trq.

Mr.Toyoda is very happy with it on the paper....but the weird thing is, he asked Lexus division to make a racing concept of GS V8 Twin turbo, which is pumping out 650+ HP/Torque. Well, people spied it on the Nurburing, and couple more in Japan. Rumors have it, that Toyota is making like 3 of them for the High lvl Developer of the company.

So, what are we seeing here ?

Probably, a super hybrid for Supra

Probably, a super V8 twin turbos for RC-F....F ? or IS-f---FFF ?

If Toyota however decided to make a V8 Twin Turbo integrated....it will not have enough FFFFfffFFfff in the name...Because seeing it on Paper or in life will just make you say "FFFFFFFFfffffffffffffFFFFFFFFFF....K"

interesting they are considering unveiling a concept this year, meaning it has been in the works for at-least a year now. I would have guessed Celica would have made an appearance first before Supra, but at least we get to see some sort of shape to go with the rumor mills.

I am concerned about what they meant about "shocking". Between the styling of the previous Supra, the GT86, and the LF-A, which all lends homage to its Toyota DNA. How much of a departure in styling is going to happen to shock us at this point.

The "Supra revival" is the automotive world's version of Dr. Dre's Detox album.
