Hybrid powered Supra due in 2011
25 Jun 2009|7,870 views
Toyota has begun development of a prototype of its Supra replacement, which is said to be making the rounds later this year.
Toyota's joint venture with Subaru to develop a front-engine, rear-drive coupe meant that any potential Supra successor, which was originally due for launch in 2009, has been pushed back to 2011. When it arrives though, two engines will be offered, a traditional 3.5 litre V6 petrol model, and a hybrid "Sports" version which will use the Lexus GS450h's 3.5 litre V6 mated to an electric drive system, producing 400bhp to the rear wheels.
If reports are to be believed, the car, which will be based on Toyota's FT-HS concept unveiled in 2007, will be previewed at this year's Tokyo Motor Show, with a production model due to be revealed next year, and sales to commence shortly after.
