I really wish this goes into production, though I doubt this will be a GT-R fighter. It's probably going to be priced between the GT-R and the Z. Hopefully the next Z moves up in performance to compete with this Supra, if that's the case.

A vette fighter???

That would be great. Especially if the next Z will be able to compete.

Yeah, I really hope Toyota puts out a competitor to those two. Hopefully this will be it.

Yota/LeXus > Neeson/Ifinite?! :tup:
I see it in build quality....:eek:

:confused:

If this really does go to production I wonder what the end result will look like.

Just look at the GT86 concept and the production build scion FRS lol

Final design usually changes because of government regulations.
Required crash test, pedestrian bump test, etc. This is why we such radical concepts but they they have to add all the safety features in and alter aero pieces to meet standards.

I believe it is the new Kia sports car that the lead guy said, we did not even think about that yet for the concept. Once we get the 100% go, we will go back and add in safety and other requirements while trying to minimize changes.

Toyota FT-1 Concept Is 2016 Supra: Sports Car Rebirth Confirmed! [VIDEO, GALLERY]


:)

Looks like the next Bat-car.

Looks like my next project car.

500hp inline 6(likely turbo).....RWD.....Light.....I like these. Please NO electric helper motor(s).

If they tone down the gawdy looks on this, I may be in. It's a bit much, it is in red, but the z06 c7 is going to give it hell.

Keep it around 80-100k, lose the vents on vents on vents and daddy likes. R36 has some work cut out for it.

Not too bad. Glad to see toyota fighting back, the camry/prius identity is pretty crappy imo. That body tho....eww, I can see it getting toned and real sexy. I really do not want to drive a formula car all day..hah.

2016 is a great time to be in the market for a supercar!

I really like this concept. Maybe a little more subdued front end but if they adhere to the FT1 for the supra, Toyota well have a winner.

edit: BREAKING NEWS: Latest Leaked Photos of the Toyota FT-1, Supra Successor!! : Epic Internet

perfection. Love that color.

simply wow...

p-zeros? wtf... :icon08:

I want the cockpit and wheel!

So $100,000? $200,000k

400K... Toyota badge or not, it's better than the LFA, so it will cost more. Unless they totally dumb down the production model.

Ya never know with Toyota, but that would be a staggering mistake on their part unless they really want to mirror the inordinate disparity in wealth in the US with their car line up.

Slow and/or reliable carts for the peasants; underperforming but exquisite super cars for the super-wealthy. I will hate Toyota forever if they do that, having barely gotten over my massive disappointment on the FR-S...

Toyota is ready for a 40K-ish car that will match or spank the Z, and give the higher end pony cars a run for the money (substituting raw power for high reliability and good looks, as usual...)

Based on the underperfoming, staggeringly overpriced LF-A, there is no way they will be able to catch the Corvette or GT-R at a reasonable pricepoint, and they don't need two cars that only the Koch brothers et al and Jay Leno can afford.

If they really want to make a proper Supra, in keeping with the previous model, adjusted for 2014 values, it should come in under 50K loaded, if memory serves...

We'll see...

All that said... drooooolllll :yum:

Oh, in support of my "Maybe Toyota will actually compete with the Z etc." argument, latest rumor is 260 kilowatts = ~350 hp

New Toyota Supra (FT-1) Powertrain Details Emerge : Epic Internet

:confused: where did you get this info?

This car will be no where near the LFA. It will most likely be in the $80-$100k range according to most articles

The MKIV Supra Turbo was around $41k in 1998. Adjusted for 2014, that car would've sold for near $60k. So I doubt this car will come in below $50k unless it's a stripper. And to be honest I think that's a good thing

Whoops... my estimates were off and a bit optimistic. So after killing some time on ye olde internete:

The original 1998 MSRP's allegedly ranged from $31,078.00 (base) to $38,778.00 (turbo auto).

1998 Toyota Supra - AutoTrader.com

That's a range of roughly $45,445.00 to $56,705.00 in 2014 dollars, give or take some pocket change.

Inflation Calculator: Bureau of Labor Statistics

Too much for the base model -- they couldn't sell it then at that price, so it will have to come down a bit.

I could see them getting a N/A 350 bhp version out around $40K and a super-wazoo boosted model nudging over $55K -- but that one will have to really fly.

On that note, the 1996 ZX was supposedly ranging from $37,439.00 to $45,579.00 (much more than the Supra!) so it is indeed possible for Toyota to follow the same path Nissan did with the Z after its hiatus and keep the bang for the buck factor high.

Eh. Have to pay to play. Sports cars aren't cheap. I'd rather see a more expensive Z with more power and no brake or oil cooling issues than a cheap one with issues as a byproduct of cost cutting. Those who want a cheap quality sports car can buy it used. Fast, Good, Cheap. Pick two. But that's just my opinion.

Not info, just speculation. While I have no doubts that there will be a car released within the 100K price range, it will be a far cry from this concept. For example, that active spoiler will become a fixed spoiler in short order, to keep costs down.

Agree. Should be interesting though. All this speculation is leading to a BMW powered FT1 and a Mercedes powered z35. So if Honda also brings back the s2000 that may be the only truly Japanese sports car.
