Celica Forums General Discussion General NEW SUPRA?

I've heard rumors that Toyota is working on a new Supra.
Is there any truth in that?

Status: Unknown

Though there is this hybrid that toyota is making that some people are thinking might be a supra or supra like car.

They're are also supposed to be making a new celica. Bottom line, we don't know but we shall see what we see.

Nissan is also supposedly making a new Skyline available in the states. It resembles the 350Z.

I sure as hell hope they do make one!!

It'll probably be a 1.8L VVT-i engine

I saw a supra today.. stupid owner! it was all dirty and the right front headlight area was smashed in. they had bumperstickers on it too!

HE should let me take it and get it washed for him

disgraceful

I heard that too. My girlfriends brother works for toyota and he said that they are indeed coming out with a supra. It'll be interesting to see if there is any truth to that.

I have said this before and I guess I will say it again, NO NEW SUPRA. NO NEW CELICA. On the celica atleast not until next year.

They come out with a new Celica in '07 or so (long time from now but still).

Well in Japan the G35SC is a Skyline, and the G35SC and the 350Z are essentially the same cars, but with some obvious differances.

And where do you two see that? In some crappy auto mag that makes rumors to get more subscribers? ;p

omg please search and read what i have said

i have heard rumors that toyota is going to discontinue the celica, if so, when?

Oh no

Everyone lock up your celicas for it well be worth something in the future

^^, hell ya, it probally will be, but is that rumor true, i heard something like it on the "custom mods" forum...

i don't think there will be a new supra they said that the new supra was coming out in 2004 ? but it didn't

i don't belive anyone said this year

I HOPE Toyota comes out with a new Supra and I'm anxious to see what a new Celica would look like. Would it be more powerful that the current Celicas?

All we can do is wait...

Only 7 months to go here in Belgium. The celica with it's current engine will become illegal to be newly sold. Toyota has to change something on the engine before it may be sold again. But it looks like they aren't gonna change anything so the celica will be discontinued. At least for a while anyway. But the dealers haven't heard anything about a "new celica" (8th gen) SO they think the celica will be discontinued forever.

I read it in a Road an Track Magazine, and they actually got a pic with it, looks weird.

Here you go:

no celica in there^^

i have a friend who works for toyota, and said they are bringing back the supra, sometime in the 4th quarter. he hasnt seen anything on it yet, so who knows for sure.

if a new Celica comes out it would almost have to be more powerful in order to compete with the other new models...

I just read that Toyota should be coming out with a new supra in 2007 it will be a I6 hybrid that gets the gas milage of a I4 sedan. It will have 400hp. Toyota does has some pics and stuff about it on their site. Heres one pic...

This is what Toyota says on their site... nothing bout "Supra" but its basically then next one.


"In 1800, Alessandro Volta arranged zinc and copper discs in a column and invented the battery. 204 years later, Toyota has electrified automotive history with the first high-performance hybrid, named in his honor. The Giugiaro-designed carbon-fiber body seats three people abreast and features "drive-by-wire" controls, allowing you to position the steering wheel and pedals in front of any one of them. And the Volta's 408-hp Hybrid Synergy Drive (a 3.3-liter V6 with an electric motor for each axle) not only delivers 435 miles on a 13.7-gallon tank, but 0 - 60 acceleration in a mere 4 seconds. Somewhere, Count Volta is smiling."

what is the engine set up

rear engine or front, looks like its rear

If you research is a little more..you will find a couple different concept pictures of it. Supra is my dream car...so i would love to see them re-release it. It's not happening though. In autotrend i believe they had an issue about the Toyota 5000GT...its a car supposedely coming out in 2005/2006, looks kinda like a mix between a celica, a supra, and an eclipse...sorta wierd. but anyways...as far as engines go, it had a baseline V8 with somethin like 350 hp...and then an upgraded V10!!! its gunna be nice... that concept on the Toyota homepage will deffinately never hit the market...would you buy that? its ugly. i'll post some pics of the new 5000GT as soon as i find them.

sorry bout the double post...

i believe there is a gas engine in teh front, powering the front wheels and an electric engine in the back, powering the rear wheels. or maybe the other way around.

"Toyota is developing a top-secret V8 supercar to take on cars like the Ferrari 456GT. Apparently the car is almost ready for production but Toyota has refused to launch it until it starts to win F1 races! We have more info and pics.

This Toyota will be called the 5000GT and will be based on the Lexus SC430 platform. It will feature a 5-litre 300kW power train and there's even whispers of a 315kW + version.

According to Auto Express the powerplant will employ a newly developed electromagnetic valve system. This will not only allow the unit to run very efficiently, but will also do away the need for a camshaft.

The Toyota 5000GT will probably make its first appearance as a concept at next year's Tokyo motor show. It is still unsure when it will go on sale and if the rumours are true that Toyota first want to win some F1 races, it can be a long wait!"

looks like a supra...
