pafkata Posted November 13, 2007 Share Posted November 13, 2007 all i know about the "new supra" is that right now most of the forums are saying its given a green light by toyota although it was a consept at last years car show here in chicago it called FT-HS. you can find more info just google it basicly it is 400hp hybrid it does 0-60 in the 4 sec range i belive and it has a lot of nice features.

Leighcm Posted November 13, 2007 Share Posted November 13, 2007 This is the one that made it into some of the major car magazines a few months back: The hybrid is nice, but I'm ready for another hotrod...I really hope the FT-HS and the Supra are two totally different cars...

pafkata Posted November 16, 2007 Share Posted November 16, 2007 Green Means Go (Fast): Toyota FT-HS reportedly coming in 2009 The June '07 print edition of Automobile casually drops a bit of a bombshell in page 30. They report that Toyota has given the FT-HS hybrid sports car the green light for production. You should remember the FT-HS concept from this year's Detroit Auto Show, where it was one of the most significant unveilings. The Calty-designed production version will make its debut in 2009. Essentially a successor to the Supra, the two-seater will leverage the automaker's Hybrid Synergy Drive and a to-be-determined gasoline engine (the concept utilized a 3.5-liter V6). Power and pricing are still a mystery, but the concept sported 400 horses and was designed to sell at a mid-level dollar amounts. If those numbers (or similar ones) carry through to production, you won't hear any complaints from us. If you've been waiting for a hybrid sports car, it looks as if Toyota's getting ready to give you exactly that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Leighcm Posted November 16, 2007 Share Posted November 16, 2007 Yes, I've seen that, but it still doesn't do anything for me. "hybrid" = quiet, smooth, boring. Great gas mileage, wouldn't mind driving one as a daily driver, but not as my fun car. Again, I REALLY hope it's not the next Supra. Lexus is building the LF-A (LF-1?) soon, and that's a lot more like it...500 hp or so...mmmm..... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pafkata Posted November 16, 2007 Share Posted November 16, 2007 actually from what i heard the rumor in the dealership i work is that the hybrid is not going to improve the milage of the car just the power of it and it would suck on gas milage so i donno i would say it has nice shape and evrything and well see what is going to look like and drive somday in the near future. About the lexus right now the Lexus IS-F is going to be released in the next month and it is a beast 8 gear car with 400+ hp not bad for a stock car :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Leighcm Posted November 16, 2007 Share Posted November 16, 2007 It will improve gas mileage to a certain extent, at least for city driving. All Toyota & Lexus hybrids will shut the gas engine off periodically when they are driven in town. The hybrid synergy system constantly monitors power requirements, and takes power from the engine or the electric motors as needed. The FT-HS shape is okay...right now, it's a little too "boy racer" for me. Make it a little sleeker, more sophisticated, and less like a Celica, and it won't be too bad. As for the IS-F: I've driven it, it's lovely. If it had 2 doors, I'd order one. Good power, nice exhaust note, excellent brakes. It actually won't be out until about January...Lexus hasn't even started production on it yet. The ones running around to shows are all pre-production models, not the finalized model.

BloodierSpawn Posted January 6, 2008 Share Posted January 6, 2008 Judging from the body lines, I'm quite possitive that this new toyota concept is the "supra". What I think they are doing is trying to target the next generation of supra lovers. Big wheels, chrome this and that, etc. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
