News, Updates, and Discussions on next-gen A100 Supra

I agree. I think Toyota will take a similar route to others and shift to hybrid before all electric.

Yup, before Akio stepped down, @A70TTR said it was going to be a hybrid.

Will be interesting if the powerplant + hybrid system is from Toyota.

or colab with Mazda or Porsche.....

Full EV was the plan, but some developmental issues came up and as such different options were being mulled over (likely hybrid unless something changed). It is possible there will be a non-electrified variant as well just FYI.

Maybe it will share platforms with this upcoming Lexus?

 

[gymratter]

that looks like a mash up between the RC and LC

Here's a better look, there are also some whispers about Toyota bring back the SC nameplate.

I'm pretty sure that render was based on this concept.

I'm guessing weight issue and solid state battery not ready for primetime?

It's just that everyone wants BEV and that tech just isn't at the level it needs to be for certain apps. They want a specific power to weight ratio, with power being right around 500hp with a specific range target (don't recall anyone mentioning a figure, but I believe ~600km would be lowest acceptable rate). That's not necessarily hard until you factor in weight, which is a big component of a sports car...

There's still time, but from what was being discussed it certainly seemed like things were going to have to pivot.

So will the A100 be a heavily updated reskinned version of the current model or will it underpin the LC/RC replacement?
