New Supra chops

BestCar magazine has provided a rendering of what may become the 2010 version of Toyota’s Supra. Three years ago a Japanese Toyota executive working on foreign assignment confirmed to us that indeed Toyota had investigated the Nissan 350Z thoroughly and decided it was time to offer a Toyota alternative. What is currently unknown is whether this alternative is the Supra itself or the next Celica, though Celica would be more than likely since Toyota probably does not want to canibalise potential buyers of the new Lexus LF-A.

Likely to be powered by one or three engines, 3.7 V6, a smaller turbo (courtesy of new Toyota-Subaru alliance) and a hybrid, the Supra/ Celica rendered here has been numbered at between 350 and 400 bhp (260kW – 298kW). This would make sense since the LF-A is a 500 bhp machine. Now, if only they would make the darn thing and stop showing us all its concepts! Meanwhile, how about turning that Toyota FT-HS into this Supra/ Celica thing?

This is a very good looking chop. It does a good job of touching the design cues from the last Supra. This design is more visually pleasing than the Z, IMO. All they need now is a 2' wing

I don't understand what is running through the minds of all the Japanese car manufacturers. All the newer jap performance cars are terribly designed exterior wise. Look at the new sti, evo, gtr and now the supra? They all look like they were rushed into production with no thought whatsoever on design and they crammed the most powerful engine they could into it. I've owned 2 jap cars and I don't think I will ever go back after I get my bmw in a few months.
