Toyota Supra (render)
The reborn Supra is expected to put Toyota back on the
performance sports car map and revive one of Japan's most iconic cars.
The new
Supra will take some design inspiration from the FT-1 concept car. However, as
production is still some way from commencing, recently spied prototypes haven't
been sporting road-ready bumpers, lights or a finalized hood.
Thankfully, a couple members of the SupraMKV forum
have stepped in and rendered what they believe the finished car will look like,
based around the latest spy pictures.
While many of the body panels of prototypes aren't
finished, the roof, A, B and C pillars are all expected to remain the same when
the veils come off the car in 2017. Consequently, these two renderings maintain
the same roofline which bares a striking resemblance to that of the Toyota
(GT)86 and Subaru BRZ twins. Additionally, the rear quarter panels and doors
are very similar to the 86.
At the front, it's impossible to know if the new
Supra will sport a large single grille like the 86 or if it will instead
feature a smaller front grille and individual air intakes on either side.
Whatever the case may be, expect the new Supra to be hungry for air, especially
if rumors about its powertrain hold true. It is speculated that the sports car
will receive a hybrid powertain co-developed with BMW and producing a combined
400 hp. Not too shabby.
