Return of the Supra? GRMN SPORTS FR PLATINUM Concept @ TAS 2013
Twin Charged. 1,998 cc, 325HP 318 ft-lb of torque, 6-speed MT w/BBS CK Wheels
Hypothetically the 86/GT86/FR-S fills in a void that the Celica left back in 2005. Now this GRMN SPORT FR PLATINUM Concept is modified Toyota 86 with the soul of the MKIV Supra. Can you say Celica Supra status?

Auto Guide: Toyota Supra Inspired GT86 Revealed With Twincharged Engine: 2013 Tokyo Auto Salon

The star of the Tokyo Auto Salon, the GRMN Sports FR Concept is a GT 86 build by Toyota’s motorsports partner Gazoo Racing and inspired by the legendary Supra itself.
With unmistakably original bodywork, the real story lies under the hood where Toyota has mated the 4-cylider boxer engine with both a supercharger and a turbocharger to deliver 330 hp.

As for the sheetmetal, it helps transform the GT86 (sold here as the Scion FR-S) from a fun weekend toy, to a genuine sports car that looks capable of tangling with a Porsche. Along with the Supra-inspired taillights, flared bodywork, massive rear spoiler and quad-exhaust system, the car itself is 4-inches longer than a conventional GT 86 and a total of 3-inches wider.
The wider body also makes room for some big 18-inch wheels with wired tires measuring 245 up front and 265 in the rear.
The customization doesn’t stop outside the car either with a white and black cabin, including beautifully stitched two-tone leather racing seats.
