hope this isnt a repost and im almost sure its not...THE SUPRA BITCHES 2007

What Edmunds.com Says: Toyota will eschew all likeness to the Volta concept in the design of its next "super car."

What We Know: Contrary to rumors, Toyota's Supra replacement will in no way, shape or form, bear any resemblance to the Giugiaro-designed Volta concept which appeared in Geneva last March. Toyota does, however, plan on delivering a high-performance sports car along the lines of the departed Supra some time between the end of 2006 and 2007. This two-door, front-engine, rear-wheel-drive sport coupe might be built on an all-new platform, although it's expected that Lexus will not build its own variation. The car will probably be priced under $30,000 and some sort of prototype could very likely debut at the 2005 Tokyo Motor Show.

i'll beleive it when its sitting in my garage.

from all the posts ive read in the past id say this is actually lagit, it really looks like its going to happen

I've known this for a while mainly because as an on the side type deal my dad finds out what new cars will be released. Then he buys the first few spots in line to buy them. He had the 27-30th Continental GT's that came to the US and he will sell the spots. Most of the time it only costs $50-$150 to buy the spot and someitmes they go for a ton. My dad had the 1st 3 spots for the SL 600 and each of them sold for $20k!

As of right now he has the 1-7 spots of the new Supra based car Toyota will be releasing. The new drive line that Edmunds was talking about is really sweet. My dad told me that it has the power of a V8 with the gas milelage of a I4! He also said that the driveshaft is different, so it makes the floor in the back flat! It sounds like it will be a really sweet car.

cant wait, hopefully they will update soon, maybe put out some more info

Just think of what veilside could do with a new supra... hmmm...

can't wait to try all my removed Celi MTECs on the new Supra!!

interesting I may have to hold out for one of these.

Can someone say, TRADE IN!

I can, I can

under 30K - not bad...

like your answer.. Cause its what I think as well.

welcome to 6 mo ago,

those pix are old, its loosely based off a wider wheel based mr2 spider,

possibly another MR performace car that is in the works or just a test mule skinned with mr2 body who knows.

oh please...like toyota ever builds cool cars anymore...lol

I saw these pics a while ago too...and i really think it will happen. Maybe it won't look that way...and I'm not sure what kind of engine they will put in it (god i hope a turbo)...but think about it...toyota drops the celica AND the MR2...they NEEEEED a performance car. I'm sure they'll make one.

im glad you saw it 6 months ago...ill build a monument dedicated to you...just sharing...thats why i said sorry if its a repost

- true

I was waiting for the volta. Damn toyota.

"Mechanical features: gas engine"

^^^ Nice specs!

With the car all covered up like that, how do they even know for sure it's a Toyota? At least it's an actual photo, not just a drawing. Maybe Toyota is finally going to give Honda (S2000), Nissan (350Z), and Mazda (RX-8) some competition in the $30K sports car segment.

If it is true, I'm sorry to say, but I'll feel terrible for having purchased the Celica! That's IF they could possibly sell it for under $30k

They say that it has the growl of a V-10 or V-12.

But don't expect that big of an engine to come to the production car.

yea this is a repost, but from the other post, it said that this supra WON'T be turbo'ed

Even so, that car, even with all of the covering still looks bad ass.
