Motor Trend reports Toyota may have plans to resurrect the Supra name, or at least a new sports coupe to fill the role of the long-dead two door. Hot on the heels of sports cars like the Lexus LFA and Scion FR-S, designers are reportedly working on dusting off the 2007 FT-HS Concept for another go at life. Paired with the company's GRMN MRS Prototype chassis, the vehicle will likely deliver up to 400 horsepower from a 3.5-liter V6 engine.
It would not be a surprise if a new sports car from Toyota hit the market within the next couple of years and speculation is that it will do more than compete with the FR-s, BRZ and the LFA. With more competition in the low 20,000 range of rear wheel drive sports cars even though 2 of them come from Lexus and Scion, Toyota is sure to design a new beast.
We can speculate all we want but as of right now we will have the FR-s and the Lexus LFA to have fun with. But keep your ears open because there will be a new sports car from Toyota and we can only hope it will be the Supra.
For your enjoyment we bring you the Toyota sports concept gallery with a host of photos featuring the 2007 FT-HS Concept. Why show you this old concept? Because design features will come from this concept, not all, but some. Enjoy!
