Toyota FT-Se Concept could be an MR2 successor

[KahnBB6]

They would be very foolish to restrict sales of the new MR2 to just the Japanese domestic market. And I figured they would re-purpose the G16E-GTS engine for this car if it were to be built as a gas only or hybrid. It just makes sense that they would put it into more vehicles to further amortize its development costs and serve as a bread and butter engine of GR brand vehicles.

The 3rd generation 86 will get it as well so Akio Toyoda is getting to do with the turbo three cylinder what Toyota of the 80's did with the 4A-GE Twin Cam engine being used in multiple affordable Toyota sports cars.

I still won't b surprised if it makes production as a hybrid given their company mandate to offer hybrids (or select BEVs) across the lineup from MY2026 onward but maybe the GR division gets an exception for a short time?

Krik thinks its a next gen Supra concept

 

[C-Pike]

EV Supra = ??

 

[Sharocks]

So it will look nothing like that.

Got it.

A few misleading things here...

I don't beleive the next gen will be all-electric. Hybrid is a possibility and most likely option...but from what I know, gas is the only info I am aware of. The same thing happened with the Tacoma, they released an all-EV teaser, and it eneded up gas and gas/hyrbid. The interior is going to have a driver focused design (pay homage to MKIV), you can kind of see that in the CGI images. Alot of Carbon Fiber parts, weight will be a key area in the next gen platform. That vehicle presented is too small to be built on any current or upcoming chassis, so either it is rendered smaller or the proportions are off because of the CGI Toyota used or the next Supra will be built on a small sports car platform (non premium) i.e., Celica, etc... Almost certain it won't be.

If (and this is a big IF) this next vehicle does have an all-electric setup (which I am pretty sure it won't) it would borrow it from the Lexus line, and that will be $$$$.

Again, I only know what reputable sources have provided. At this point, consider all this as a "vision" for the far far future.

Right, deja vu all over again lol.

Ah we finally get to see the rear of the MR2 rumor.
I see the same shape and color.
Small differences, vent behind front wheel is gone.

From Dec 2021:

i dont think the two are related. the proportions are totally different.

Is it possible that multiple drivetrains will be offered like on the C8?

Looks to be more production.
Concept from 2021 didnt have mirrors, door handles, panel gaps, etc.
Kind of like 2JZ-No-Sh*t's post.
We'll find out 10/26 - 11/5.

Edit: Having doubts lol, rear is is now cabin space? but the rear mesh and top vents...

Some are saying FT-Se stands for Future Toyota Supra Electric.

i understand that changes are made at different stages but i still think one is clearly a mid engine while the other is a front engine concept. cars from the same company usually share similar styling cues but that doesnt mean theyre the same model. agree, we'll know more come Tokyo.
