A 192hp Supra is seriously watering down that name.

Nice FT-1 Graphite

Sounds like it'll be much cheaper than a GT-R, which will sell a ton of them.

It's not a brochure. It's a scoop catalog from a Japanese magazine Holiday Auto

Who cares about power, if I can actually afford one, it's bound to have more power than my MR2 and my AE86 combined! Man I'm stoked for this thing!

Even if it isn't super powerful from the start, you can bet there's gonna be a big tuning scene for it too. Look how fast the FR-S blew up when it went on sale. It's been like THE tuner car since it released.

 

[VXR]

Kudos for Toyota being so pragmatic. They actually wanted to sell some cars, not create an expensive showpiece.

Compared to the cars they replaced, the new Surpa stays closer to its roots than the GTR did.

 

[05XR8]

Exactly. The MKII had 165hp, NA MKIII 200hp, NA MKIV 222hp(I think the same as the NA 300ZX). I feel that's fantastic. Should undercut the Mustang over here.

 

[Bram Turismo]

So the warranty on my GT86 ends in 2018...

 

[Castrol96]

So there's gonna be a 2.0, 3.0 and Hybrid versions.

I hope that's a image of the Final and not just the FT-1, as I'm highly disappointed with the Test Mule design.

Nope, that's an image of the FT-1 Graphite.

 

[Castrol96]

Perhaps, dimensions may change from the FT-1?

Likely, especially since it's sharing the platform with the BMW Z4 replacement.

 

[Tornado]

I'd be amazed if the 200 horse version was sold outside Japan.

 

[Bram Turismo]

A 200hp option seems strange given the GT86...

I like the way Toyota is going. First the GT86, now the S-FR is on its way, and the Supra looks to be going in a great direction as well. They're back into rallying and endurance racing.

BIG difference compared to 10 years ago...

Eh, the only difference I see is the cars they're building, and trying to be interesting like they once were rather than boring like they had been after they cut their final sports car or sportish cars. Not understanding the Motorsports aspect, because ten years ago they were in every major form of open wheel racing and NASCAR (still are on that one). Despite being in Motorsports it was Lexus that got more treatment somewhat with sports like cars while Toyota became the number 1 selling brand of boring.

 

[05XR8]

The 86 is still on eco tyres. No doubt the 200hp Supra will be more dynamic and have more accoutrements(leather option, blindspot stuff, etc.) over the 86.

The weight is also interesting. 100kg(I guess for a base model) more han an 86 with better tyres and suspension. Even though it seems to be in a class of one(here in Australia), it'll be a hot seller versus a 370Z and maybe the MX-5 RF. Nice way to step up from the 86.

 

[AudiMan2011]

A 1300-1400kg kerbweight leads me to speculate that it'll either be aluminium construction or a mix of steel with BMW's carbon composites, especially if a hybrid powertrain is planned.

 

[RocZX]

I don't think the specs are real, it says "nanchatte" which means just kidding in Japanese.

Here the inside of the catolog

 

[Brutaka]

Its fake, not a single frontal shot of the vehicle, which is arguable the most changed feature from FT1 is nowhere to be seen.

 

[Grandea GTR]

Old post, but:

Still a total pig and looked down on in the supra community like the mk2 stang.

Never have I heard this about the A70.

Most every time the A70 was tested in North America when it was new, the underlying message was the thing was a pig. I posted review excerpts to that effect a few pages ago. It wouldn't surprise me if the "Supra community" demonized the thing even further from there.

It was called the "Slopra" back in the day.

I get the distinct feeling this will not be a looker.

That rear certainly enforces it.

 

[RandomCarGuy17]

Well, it's a modern Toyota; so it being ugly is quite possible.

 

[VXR]

It definitely looks like an evolution of the 4th Gen, but considering those styling cues are 25 years old, I'm not sure that's a good thing. It's a shame, because the FT-1 looked fairly sensational.

 

[Castrol96]

Man, the GT-86 has a better design than that?

Is this for real, its such a downgrade and looks dated already.

EDIT:

I'll try making a render out of it...

So the Supra and Z5 will be like brother and sister.

 

[05XR8]

Maybe it'll look good. Dependent on color.
