Yeah, it is all a Concept. It took the 86 ....7 years or so until Production......the Supra ? Probably another 5 years until production.

Heck, I am sure I won't be able to afford it, if it is the Price range of Corvette or Worse...the GT-R. By the pricing Trance of Toyota Premium Sport cars IS-F, LF-A...... I say, I would realistically expect the new Supra to be 80k+

 

i think people are expecting too much. for one i doubt it will be a "supra successor" and more like a "larger hybrid FRS"... i expect a turbo 4 with the Hybrid R system as seen on the Yaris Hybrid R concept



but doesnt toyota need a NSX rival? yes, it's called the Lexus LF-LC... aint no toyota gonna be sold for 80-100k...

 

Hybrid R, Hybrid R, Hybrid R. CT-F! GO!


Wait, sorry. I got distracted. There's a new Supra coming? That white concept was hot when it was still relevant.

 

You are correct!

I expect the same thing. That is why I said that I do not believe the successor Supra will be like what people say.

It will probably use the 86 chasis with new body styling, and I4 turbo from Lexus together with hybrid R.

Now, I believe they already agreed with this specs and sounds on paper. I think this will be the concept.

Even so, it will be Years before it is in production. If this concept is making 400HP or whatsoever at around 40k. I am in....but if it is C7+ price ? nah

 

What are you talking about? No, the FT-86 concept was shown off at the 2009 Tokyo Motor show. Two years later the production Toyota 86 debuted at the 2011 Tokyo Auto Show.

 

To the people that are saying there won't be a successor Supra. You do know that BMW and Toyota are co-developing a new midsize coupe? The BMW/Toyota press release has also said the car will be built on a new platform.

 

Even if that ws the case, some people thought of the MK1 and 2 as a large Celica with an I6.

The MK4 Supra with the rate of inflation would be like $80k today.

 

 

I kinda made a new Supra thread :/

I bet we'll see the return of the Supra before we see a production NSX...lol.

 

which is exactly why the supra was discontinued and exactly why i dont think they'll make the same mistake again. imo this new sports coupe will be in the 370Z/STI range. a turbo 4 with KERS style hybrid makes perfect sense. anything higher than this segment and we are talking lexus not toyota.

 

370Z pricing and that will compete with the FR-S/BRZ

 

NSX VS FT-HS

Yeah I kinda see it.

Yes, I agreed a new Supra should be somewhat affordable. I would price it near the C7 ($50kish). But lets remember that in the 90s sports cars as a whole were going into on a decline. (300ZX, RX-7, 3000GT, Supra and ect). Buyers were moving towards trucks and SUVs.

I wouldn't say that the MK4 was a failure. From 93-98 Toyota sold 11,239 units in the US. While that isn't a huge number its still better than the R-35 at 5,336 units from 2008-2012.

Mods, should we continue this conversation in the new thread?

https://www.clublexus.com/forums/car...ure-supra.html

 

the upper range of 370Z

imo 50k is still too high. that's lexus RC territory. im more comfortable with under 40k...
