The next supra will never look like any of the above pictures, just random internet fanbois posting pics of outdated concept cars...

Its not a Supra if its hybrid and AWD, just like the next Gen NSX is not a NSX.

The Supra was never mid engined?

Who cares? Will WE be able to afford it, or will they shove it right up our LFA? (again)

A Supra Hybrid is a terrible idea. They're better off not developing it if that's the case. Keep it at its roots from the ground up and avoid the 20% better fuel economy versus a non-Hybrid motor.

I hate that all the japanese manufacturers are going to hybrid powertrains. Id rather stick with the GT-R , at least they are making 500+ ponies from a TTV6.

Toyota has been teasing us with the idea of offering a new Supra sports car for quite some time. First it was rumored that we would all see a new model in 2008, but that didn’t happen. Now, the rumor is back with a debut scheduled for sometime in 2015, after Toyota finally offers up the production version of the FT-86 for our greedy consumption.
Being since this is just a rumor, not much is known about the next Supra. Originally, people thought the Supra would be offered with two engine choices: a 5.0 liter V8 engine producing 450 HP and 383 lb-ft of torque and a 3.5 liter V6 engine with 350 HP and 275 lb-ft of torque. Now people are claiming that the future model will actually be a hybrid sports car powered by a V6 engine with an electric motor for a total output of 400 HP and a top speed of more than 170 mph.
We’ll know more about the next Toyota Supra in due time, but for now, a fan of the model decided to render it to give people an idea of what it could look like. His concept car combines the essence of the Supra with design elements from the recently launched FT-86 sports car. The result is something we would really like to see put into production.

if toyota brings the supra back, expect it to be a direct competitor to the GT-R/Corvette era. those two cars are what toyota races against. it'll be a 50k+ car for sure.

Seriously annoying. 28 posts and six new threads started...

Quoting myself from another thread regarding Top Gear's interview with the 86's chief engineer and his assistant.

Almost all modern serious sports cars (IS-F, LFA, GT-R, Porsches, supercars) have it as the only option.

The engineers also noted the "path" of this future sports car will differ from that of the GT86. The 86's focus is fun-to-drive and a manual transmission brings that out. This upper tier model has to be thrilling to drive with serious performance numbers to "wow" the world. To achieve great numbers, its transmission can't be manual.
