Joshua Grant RobinsonNov 20, 2012 Think of this as a marketing campaign to drum up interest in the Supra's next generation! People pay attention because they're pissed off and bam out comes a proper Supra! Just a thought. And I think the 86 might be proof it could happen.
John AugustusNov 17, 2012 Lmao to be fair that's a damn good point:p
Shane CarrollNov 17, 2012 ... taking their remaining loyal fan base and slapping them in the face. Its like if M. Night Shamaylan remade your favorite movie starring Nicholas Cage and Kirsten Stewart with the soundtrack provided by One Direction.
Shane CarrollNov 17, 2012 @John it's not the fact that they're making an EV thats the problem, it's because they're replacing the best car they ever made with it. If they wanna make it and call it the Prius SuperEco whatever, fine. But what Toyota's doing here is ...
John AugustusNov 17, 2012 *btw I meant enviromental impact far better than combustion engines, not hydrogen cells obv
John AugustusNov 17, 2012 ..then it's enviromental impact will be far better.
I'm really excited to see how hydrogen fuel cells turn out. I love cars, but sooner or later we're gonna have to think of a better way of powering them then using stuff out of the ground.
John AugustusNov 17, 2012 ...out the motor if it malfunctions?
In terms of EV being dirty, yes it can be if the energy produced is from burning fossil fuels. However if nuclear or even renewable sources are utilised (already 10% of all energy used in uk is from renewable)..
John AugustusNov 17, 2012 I believe that the charge times quoted are based on single phase power supplies, not 3 phase which would be used in garages if EV tech becomes more excepted and popular. The 1 moving part is the rotar of the motor - so surely you would just swap..
Larry MartinoNov 17, 2012 replace the whole car. The EV technology is just as dirty as fossil fuels. I believe that hydrogen is the fuel of our future because it is cleaner, abundant and all that is released from the exhaust is water
Larry MartinoNov 17, 2012 @John Yes but at the same time it is a completely unreliable car. Thats why EVs dont work in everyday life. Because 1) It takes a large amount of time to charge and it gets very low mileage and 2) It has 1 moving part. If that part breaks you have to
John AugustusNov 17, 2012 A lot of you guys are so closed minded. Haven't you seen the performance specs of the new tesla model s?! This is new tech, imagine what what it'll be like in 5/10yrs! Although I agree with a previous post - hydrogen fuel cell will be the future
Brent McCauleyNov 17, 2012 Why even talk shit, you all realize you're talking about Toyota... NISSAN AND SUBARU screw the rest of you weak japmobiles.
Chase HuddlesNov 17, 2012 I don't mind KERS being put into FR-S/GT86, but this!?!?!? I'm not that big of a fan of the Supra, but putting a nameplate like that on too a car that will be bought by idiots thinking there in with the times by buying an electric "sports" car is sacrilegious. If this really is true, then to me it will become apparent that it was Subaru who did all the major production on the BR-Z/FR-S twins.
Wyatt GordonNov 17, 2012 Don't you dare Toyota, dont you dare. the MK4 Supra was your last decent car, make this live up to it's name. just don't mess around with this EV crap.
Jacob Viiper McCordNov 17, 2012 NO! no no no no no! shame on you Toyota! DO NOT, I repeat, DO NOT MAKE THE SUPRA AN EV. You gotta make the supra live up to its name. If you make it an EV, you're sales will go down a shit ton. Don't do it,
Stephen DNov 16, 2012 EV are you kidding me toyota how dare You disgrace the last decent car you ever made
James SalabaNov 16, 2012 Mark4 is still the best supra ever just very powerful raw car unlike this EV crap.
Reid HuffNov 16, 2012 20 to 30 years from now we will be using hydrogen cars. EVs are an outdated design that does not help the environment as much as it claims. We need to stop pollution not redistribute who does the pollution.
Colby ChurchNov 16, 2012 I agree with Austin 100% :) Lol. You'll never see an EV Corvette. The day that happens I will hang myself. Haha
Joseph FliederNov 16, 2012 In 20 to 30 years our children and their children will look back and scoff and our reluctance of the EV.
Jon AshleyNov 16, 2012 alright, a hybrid powertrain I can live with. But NOT this. Toyota, don't f.... this up
Author Norman R. ColsonNov 16, 2012 This is the most stupidest thing I've ever read!!! Make it a slight hybrid not a full blown ev!!!
Sam OglesbyNov 16, 2012 Would rather have no supra at all than a supra ev
Austin LarkNov 16, 2012 I'm a Chevy and American muscle man to the core but I respect the hell out of the supra cause its a badass machine. Puttin the supra name on an EV would just kill it. Name it somethin else if ur dead set on an EV sports car.
Michael PageNov 16, 2012 It's an I6, but whatever. I'm all for a sports electric car, but don't call it a supra.
Jason ScottNov 16, 2012 I don't think there will be much 'I hate Toyota' comments. Unless they actually make the Supra an EV.
Kyle HardistyNov 16, 2012 the twin turbo v6 in the supra is legendary. its what makes a supra... A supra. makin it electric just ruins it
Matt PiccoloNov 16, 2012 Ev and supra do not mix...
Corey Alan KelleyNov 16, 2012 You guys are idiots this is the FT-HS concept from 6 or 7 years ago not the new supra
Byakka HirakawaNov 16, 2012 This is not a supra
Toyoda, go back to the drawing board
Or do u even remeber wat a supra looks like
Sam OglesbyNov 16, 2012 Do not name this the supra it isn't worthy of the name
Sam SextonNov 16, 2012 looks like an uglier GT86/FRS
Natalino MonastraNov 16, 2012 If the Supra is EV. Kill the idea now! ASAP
Matt PiccoloNov 16, 2012 This looks awesome! But I hope it's not an ev :/
Cody GillardNov 16, 2012 I think it looks really good not over done yet not to boring
Adam ThomsonNov 16, 2012 I like the old one more, they could have done better with this
Nick JonesNov 16, 2012 I don't get it? What is this a life size got wheel car

Wyatt GordonNov 17, 2012 if youre gonna make a stupid "electric" sports car, just dont even think about calling it a Supra. nobody in the tuning business 30-40 years from now wants a 1000 horsepower electric car.
David JusticeNov 16, 2012 Why even call it a Supra? Everything would be just fine if the name Supra was never brought into the equation.

Jorge GonzalezNov 17, 2012 Make it an aluminum block version, the viper v10 was originally a truck motor, but made aluminum for the lighter application, it's been done many times.
David GuerreroNov 17, 2012 George that is a terrible idea. The tundra engine weighs way to much, the new supra needs to be a turbo 6cyl. Either inline or V. Twin turbo is also great
Colby... Yes the MR2 can EV, but not supra
Colby ChurchNov 16, 2012 Make the MR2 an EV and leave the Supra alone.
Jorge GonzalezNov 16, 2012 Use tundra 5.7 liter v8 and build a sports car around it to compete with vettes and vipers. And spank whatever else the Japanese Market is making.
Kyle RawnNov 16, 2012 We want an MR2! Nothing less.
Colby ChurchNov 16, 2012 Pretty sick car, and those brakes are plenty large enough. They look about the same size as the ones on my 02 Vette, and it has tremendous stopping abilities!
Jason BartlettNov 16, 2012 Rear resembles LFA a bit . Brakes are small because it has regenerative braking system that takes care of almost all braking power needed
Aiden BassNov 16, 2012 Those brakes are smaller than the ones on a Prius
Sam OglesbyNov 16, 2012 If they fitted a new front and rear to it and fitted an engine not battery's there on to a winner but still not a supra
Dankha HermizNov 16, 2012 Yes matty your right I see the GTR's windows
Matt PiccoloNov 16, 2012 This actually looks sick!
Matty MichaelsNov 16, 2012 Anybody else see GT-R in the A-pillar and roofline?
Andrew HossannNov 16, 2012 At a quick glance that ft-hs looke like it said Prius I was thinking if a Prius looked that good I would definitely have a prius
Nathan JacobsonNov 25, 2012 Now this is a REAL supra! Forget that other LFA wannabe crap
Tim PreisingerNov 17, 2012 Now this is a REAL supra! I'm a muscle car guy, but I have nothing but respect for this car. However, If the next one ends up being a EV... I'll laugh.
Jorge GonzalezNov 17, 2012 Idk man nissans v6s sound pretty nice, I always liked how the g35 and 350z sounds with a good exhaust and the new ones sound good too.
Chase HuddlesNov 17, 2012 I never like how the Supra looked, however it did have one of the best turbocharged (if not overall) engines of all time. It a shame Japan and the auto industry as a whole stopped using straight-six's as a whole and now use dreary V6. Seriously, how many times have you heard of people raving about charismatic sounding V6's. Besides the Status and the NXS, I can't think of anything.
Wyatt GordonNov 17, 2012 thats a real Supra. that and the things on my feet
