What is cars and coffee? some kind of meet up?

Regardless the brakes/engine need to be cooled somewhow and the positioning means it serves a cooling effect. I would not rule out some dual purpose but this is all just guesswork on a concept. The studio was not confined to anything mocked up by engineers.

Concept or not what would it be other than cooling purposes? Every car, esp a sports car, needs cooling for the brakes, engine, etc.

Assuming this design sticks... which is not guaranteed.

^Sorry that is totally random. 10% smaller does not mean 10% less power. They can pretty much make it what they want in the game.

A blend of the FT-1 and FT-HS concepts in a single rendering.

I dont know what else they would call it if not Supra.. or rather, why they would do so.

http://www.autoblog.com/2014/03/24/toyota-bmw-sports-car-to-gain-all-wheel-drive-supercapacitors/ I had to post this if no other reason for a laugh :D On my way to pick up more salt!

I'd rather see a turbo 6 but i do love their performance goals... the 0 to 60 would make it vette territory.

that's a bit of exaggeration lol. you can still change oil on many cars yourself. :) Sure the really high tech ones you have to bring it into dealer for most things.

It makes sense not only because of the toyota connection but look at the design. It's got a lot of similar lines... altho the FT1 is way more stunning IMO.

attainable exotic.....sounds like it fits ft-1 to a T

well i'm a pretty young dude in my early 20's and i still kind of agree with you. i dint grow up with the mkiii/iv supra and cars like it but there's no denying the japanese sports cars diluted and disappeared. i grew up owning a mark iii and then moved on to a Mustang when most of those...

It's a trademark renewal. I'm no lawyer but I think when you file a trademark you have to show an intent to use it and not just squat on it. Toyota would need to show the trademark office that they have some plans to use the Supra name within an X amount of years.

FT-1 Confirmed to Spawn Next Toyota Sportscar? Recently, Toyota president Akio Toyoda was saying that “if the FT-1 makes a good strong impression on the market, then we will add it to the line-up.” However, the automaker knew the concept will make a hit after unveiling, as rumor is that the new...

yep I just posted it as food for thought since news is slow. I doubt we see it making that much from factory.

I don't see what else they could name it to bring more excitement back than Supra

I just posted about the new rumor that the FT-1 will come in 2 trims, one of them supposedly sharing the turbo 2.0L inline 4 banger that will be used on the Lexus NX200t Here's some great info on it.

This just hit the wires, fresh rumors that the Supra will be offered in two flavors when it is available: - 2.0L turbo 4 cyl from the upcoming Lexus NX 200t (with around 235hp) - 2.5L turbo V6 hybrid pushing 300kW (~402hp). Source: But the global financial crisis soon put this project on the...
