REPORT: Toyota's hybrid Supra successor on track for 2011
http://www.blogcdn.com/www.autoblog....mod2-580op.jpg With all the rumors and anticipation surrounding Toyota's joint venture with Subaru to produce a front-engine, rear-wheel drive coupe, the automaker's Supra successor has been put on the news cycle's back-burner. However, according to a report by Best Car, development has continued in earnest since the FT-HS Hybrid Sports Car Concept debuted at the Detroit Auto Show in 2007 and a prototype will supposedly begin making the rounds later this year. Although the FT-HS was originally due to arrive in 2009, the Toyobaru's parallel development and market conditions have pushed back the introduction of a Supra-successor until 2011. When it hits, expect two versions to be available: a traditional gas-powered model, likely fitted with a 3.5-liter V6, and a hybrid "Sports" variant packing the GS450h's 2GR-VSE 3.5-liter V6 mated to the JDM Crown Hybrid's electric drive system and cranking out around 400 hp to the rear wheels. If Best Car's report is to be believed, we could see the next iteration of the FT-HS concept at the Tokyo Motor Show this November, with the production model debuting sometime in 2010 before its on-sale date the following year. |
Why is it either extremely boring or extremely ugly with that car company?

:lol:
Very confused looking. Did the designers even see what others were doing or did they all just do their own thing and paste them all together? Very weird looking car. |

**Paging Fern** :D

:barf:
Can't wait to smoke one on the street. :D |
Toy designs either have no imagination or go way too far. It's like they save their creativity from Camry, Turndra and Scion for this and then jo go crazy in multiple directions. The car looks like it was done by several stylists that didn't communicate with each other.
|
This is what happens when a Corvette and a Destroyer **** each other and produce offspring.
Hideous. |
It seems to have some heritage styling cures going back to the 2000GT. I'm not a huge fan of the headlamps, but otherwise I like it. :D
|
The dark "home base" looking thing in the center of the hood reminds me of the ZR1's similarly shapped window.
The rest of the car looks like a mishmash of GT-R and something that might have come out of the 24th century. |
I like it overall.
The ass end reminds me of an Audi R8. I like the headlamps, but I don't like the pointed nose. |
The front end looks like it has a cow-catcher, like the old time trains.
