Son of Supra

By: editors at Edmunds.com

Date Posted 02-28-2005

Looking for a high-profile sports car to polish its image, Toyota is finishing up development of a Supra successor, code-named project 395.

When you think of exciting Toyota sports cars, one you can't ignore is the lovely 2000 GT featured in the 1967 James Bond film, You Only Live Twice. The new front-engine, rear-drive sports car will even borrow subtle styling cues from that icon.

Our sources suggest Toyota is looking at two distinct versions for production. One will use a 3.5-liter development of the new V6 (introduced in the 2006 Lexus GS 300), making 300 horsepower. The second, higher-intensity model could use the company's 4.3-liter V8, tweaked to give about 350 hp.

Styling features a long front deck and short rear, much like the Mercedes-Benz SLK, BMW Z4 and Honda S2000 that the new Toyota will compete against. We expect it will employ a conventional folding soft top.

Pricing will likely run close to $30,000 for the V6 (to rustle 350Z feathers) and into the low-$40,000 range for the V8. The Supra spirit will rise again!

Oh oh ohhhhhhhhhhhhh! Let's give it a Japan-market Corolla front end so all the men with small weiners will be like, "my Corolla is a mini-Supra!"

1) I thought the LF-A was all we were getting?

2) The 2000GT is hideously ugly, IMHO. The last attractive design Goertz did was the 311 Silvia...and even that's pushing it.

3) If it does come to the states, it'll be a Scion. And called the xS. This way all the yuppies in NJ will be "Let's go to Club XS in my xS!" (Okay, so that'll be funny to two people...)

The automotive media only like it because it was so derivative of European sports cars. http://forums.freshalloy.com/images/graemlins/rolleyes1.gif

Look buddy, I know things in New Jerz must be a little weird if you people can't even pump your own gas, but werd on the street is that you need money to be a yuppie. Not Scion money, but Lexus money, or at least Toyota Solara XLE money. If you think Scion has a 'yuppie' image, you must be such a hippie that you think grunge rock is 'yuppie.'

whether you like it or not - Toyota is building this model, and dont be surprised that you end up liking it in the end. These concepts are hideous!

I'd be very unhappy if they did put out a fugly thing for a final product. TOYOTA has the money to produce really nice stuff.
