Supra Successor

After the success of the Subaru/Toyota partnership, Toyota is teaming up with BMW to create another sports car. The designer of the GT-86 is heading up the program.

Its nice to see KERS end up in production cars.



Should be interesting

 

That's bad ass. I hope they sell it as a Toyota & not a Scion or a Lexus.

 

!!!!!!!!

 

I'd still want a Supra.










cheaper

 

I'd assume this would end up as a Scion here in NA and Toyota else where, mainly because Scion is the "sporty" line from Toyota here in NA

 

Hybrid = sux. Would be nice if they made another straight six that rivaled the Nissan GTR.

 

Hybrid automatically = sucks, or are there particular reasons for your statement? Just curious. You can get a lot of torque out of electric motors.

 

+1, wouldn't care if it was cheaper or not, supras rock

 

F1 cars use hybrid technology (KERS), the Enzo successor will have KERS, Porsche 918 has KERS.

Yea hybrids suck...

umm nope

 

That looks awesome! Hopefully they are only looking to get a power train from BMW and that's all.

 

Also their are talks and drawings of a convertible frs already.

 

Toyota will apparently make the engine, BMW from what I've read is helping with suspension and handling

 

I wonder who Toyota will team up with to make a car next I personally think they are smart for going in with other companies on things like the BRZ/FRS. Something different in today's selection.

 

Oh ok, that's not bad. That design engineer for Toyota has got to be making a killing right now!

 

omfg ive been saving money...... yes!

 

Just my opinion; or is that not appreciated around here?

I would rather have a car that can be build/tuned. This is more of a luxury car than a tuner car and I dont think it deserves to be the Supra sucsessor . In fact, the FR-S is probably a better candidate

Truthfully, I was expecting somthing more akin to the Nissan GTR, not the Acura NSX ( <- also doesnt live up to the original).

 

hybrid is the work of the devil, no way around it.

 

I have faith that hybrid technology can be add without affecting the ability to tune it. The only draw back I see is weight and price.

 

Any car with the Supra badging will still be a tuner's car

I like how you are making impressions of two cars that aren't even in production yet
