Now that's the right type of event to keep showing off the FT1 - to enthusiasts who will keep the faith about htis car.

This is only the second time they've shown it at a meet or enthusiast gather right? The only other one I can remember is when they rolled it into the Irvine Cars & Coffee.

That's the only one I can remember them bringing it to. But the graphite concept debuted at Pebble Beach Concourse. That's kinda an enthusiast event.

Yea for the wealthy :D What Toyota needs to do is bring an even closer-to-production concept to this year's Tokyo autos how. That's only in 5 months!

Please Toyota, Please Make The Supra This Awesome



Still stunning. But still just a concept.

Well, it’s been a few days since Toyota revealed its S-FR Concept ahead of the Tokyo Motor Show. We dig it. Apparently it’s a preview of a new sub-Scion FR-S/Toyota GT86 sports coupe that’s on the way. Right on, but what we, and we know all of you want, is that reborn Supra. Last we heard is that Toyota will make its final decision over whether to build it or not this December. Because of its collaboration with BMW on the project and Toyota’s desire to build more emotional cars, we’re betting that new Supra (or whatever it’ll be called) is on.

Oh, and for everything good and holy in the world, we want it based on that stunning FT-1 Concept. That’ll do just fine. It doesn’t look like anything else out there and its styling is pure Japanese badassness. So here’s the FT-1 Concept again, this time filmed up close and detailed by a dude with a camera. The background music wasn’t our idea.

Actually after seeing the Supra MKV concept here compared to previous gens it doesn't look quite so huge, just wider. I hope the production car keeps the same height to width ratio as the concept.

I believe in one of the interviews Mr. Hunter did say if it did make production than the rear wheels would mostly likely won't be as wide as the concept :(

That's ok. The entire car will probably shrink down compared to the concept so I expect that the rear wheels won't be as wide. Just hope they keep the ratio/proportions of the car the same even if they size down. That's what's important to me so the car can look as impressive as the concept.

Looks SOOO good in motion, even going 2mph. I can't remember but what's the concept powered by?
Most modern day concept cars are powered by electric motors like those found in golf carts.
