New Supra = Modified FT-86?

[Dimman]

Is that concept fan art? Or magazine guess? It would make a great FR-S Supra.

[keiri]

It's a fan creation based on the FR-S.

+1, why would they secure the trademark on the Supra Name if they have no plans on using it.

Toyota has been looking at a Supra replacement for several years. The new LFA and the FT-86 concept have left a market gap in their line-up. Although they're being quiet about an official foray into the replacement of the Japanese icon, it's a poorly kept secret that their unofficial skunkworks is working on it.

Road & track did a better interpretation of a production FT-HS some years ago



As for a new Supra...

Design wise, I think Ferrari (with the 599) and Jag have taken whatever could have been an evolution of the MkIVs shape and claimed it as their own. It also won't fit in with Toyota new corporate body language so, I don't think we'd have much luck expecting a curvaceous car. A longer, less edgy fr-s concept would make a great base for design...

sorta like

I think either of these would make a good successor generation. They both seem to hold that same general design that mimicks the MKIV but are still new enough for present designs.

I would still prefere a Sequential Twin-Turbo 3,4l Flat6 with about 400 PS. If 2 seats and 1300 kg, that is a dream car. By the way, wil it be a Toyota Supra or a Lexus Supra? The same for the NSX, Honda NSX or Acura NSX?

Someone knows what the better way to turbo is

With Honda I think because the Acura brand isn't very strong (compared to Lexus for example) it'll depend on the market.
I wonder where the new hybrid sports car rumor or whatever fits into all this. Seems a bit redundant to have the FR-S, the high power hybrid sport, and then another sports car.

Sequential is one of those 'good in theory but meh in practice' ideas. The piping on the Mk4 TT is horrendous.

Imagine the piping for a sequential setup on a flat 6

I would imagine it would be 50% more fail than on Subaru's sequential twin turbo 'Valley of Death' Legacy. Heh.
