Just to add, this was cancelled and dead, but even more so with what's going on now. If toyota had plans to make this or do some form of this SFR, it got killed very shortly due to this Pandemic.

^^ More than likely yes. Although with however much R&D went into the car's full design to date it's possible something more than a door handle or interior knob might be repurposed for some other future design. However whatever resulting car that might be probably won't be the S-FR production concept as we knew it.Just to add, this was cancelled and dead, but even more so with what's going on now.

The lesson here for Toyota was man, creating a sports car is expensive. But we do got Mazda, let's see what we can do with them.^^ More than likely yes.

Don't get me wrong... I'm not holding my breath that we'll see this car again at this point but as a design and engineering study I'm sure some technical lessons were learned from it.
Just making sure, I'm no A70, but if Toyota is going to make something, the sales figure and cost has to be there. Mazda can do it, Toyota supplies them some help with R&D on a new platform. But I don't see Mazda letting that happen^^ If this platform gets shared in any way so as to reach production, especially if that is with Mazda— awesome!
Same hopes for Mazda’s new midsize RWD platform and 350hp hybrid inline six engine possibly being shared for a future IS and future Mark II sport sedan

It has a high degree of perfection and was introduced using many magazines even with the best cars. The show was well received, and mini cars were produced, which made us expect the market.
However, it was decided that he would not be on a profitable basis, and thereafter it was not announced at all. Now is the time for the energy-saving call of the 2020s, and now is the time for lightweight sports to be released. The Toyota Sports 800 should have been brought back and carried away.
That’s sad. No business case for it at all, then even though it’s a near production ready platform and design.
