[USER="42"]CorsaVeloce[/USER] totally agree with you on the A*s bit. One of the prettiest I've seen in a long time. Also the double bubble roof reminds me of Zagato cars. [USER="1677"]Akshat Pokhriyal[/USER] it's true about the Honda NSX. The older car developed with the help of Ayrton Senna was one heck of a legend. It had some issues like lack of grip at the rear and such, but the new one, from what I've heard, is very numb and doesn't excite the soul. I hope the next-generation Supra will retain all the values of the older car. But still it's good news that Toyota is going to revive the Supra nameplate.

[URL="http://www.zigwheels.com/forum/profile/20"]NikilSJ[/URL]. Okay. So my kidneys are up for sale, any takers? Im in love with the steering wheel and the dials it has on them. Plus, that A*S is as great to the car world what Megan Fox' in Hollywood. From the looks of it, this car has the potential to reclaim the legendary Toyota badge from the old Supra. Wonder if it'll be used in the next Fast and Furious.

[URL="http://www.zigwheels.com/forum/profile/20"]NikilSJ[/URL] Looks good, all facts and figures sound interesting. But I have a problem with hi-tech these Japanese manufacturers put into their cars. The new gen NSX is a classic case. The old car was a gem. New one is no where near. I hope Toyota manages to retain the soul of the car with all this technology on offer.

[SIZE=14px][U][B]At a glance[/B][/U][/SIZE] [LIST] [*][SIZE=14px]Next-gen Supra to be co-developed with BMW[/SIZE] [*][SIZE=14px]Will produce 470+ horse power[/SIZE] [*][SIZE=14px]Likely to borrow design cues from the FT-1 Concept[/SIZE] [/LIST] [SIZE=14px][ATTACH=CONFIG]n12074[/ATTACH][/SIZE] [SIZE=14px]This new sports car is likely to borrow design cues from the Toyota FT-1 Concept. I really hope the F1-style nose, flared fenders, double bubble roof and the wraparound windshield from the concept to make it to the production version of the Supra. The fourth-generation Supra attained cult status at the fag end of its production thanks to the Fast and the Furious franchise. The fourth-gen or MKIV Supra was famous for its tuning capabilities. The legendary 2JZ-GTE engine is still one of those engines that give tuners wet dreams. The bulletproof and super reliable engine was capable of producing supercar-like power figures without any modifications to the 6-speed Getrag transmission. I expect the next-gem Supra, likely to be unveiled sometime in 2017, to offer the tuning potential too.[/SIZE][SIZE=14px]It’s been two years since Toyota showed us the FT-1 Concept and trademarked the Supra name in the US Patent and Trademark Office, the Japanese car manufacturer has now trademarked the same in the European Union Intellectual Property Office. This could mean that Toyota might revive the legendary moniker in the form of the sports car being co-developed with BMW!

Both cars will look entirely different as the Supra will not be using a monocoque platform. Instead, it will employ a ‘frame-based format’ like McLaren’s supercars that uses a common carbon-fibre tub. Reports suggest that BMW will take charge of chassis and engine development while Toyota will handle all the hybrid technology options.

The wheelbase is expected to measure 2,500mm. [IMG]http://media.caranddriver.com/images/14q1/564351/toyota-ft-1-concept-engine-bay-photo-564855-s-986x603.jpg[/IMG][/SIZE] [SIZE=14px]As far as engine choices go, the BMW will get a 2.0-litre turbo-four cylinder (240hp) and an in-line 6-cylinder (335hm). The Toyota Supra is likely to get the same inline 6-cylinder turbo paired with an electric motor in a hybrid battery setup with an output close to 470hp. Sounds good to me.
