BestCar magazine has provided a rendering of what may become the 2010 version of Toyota’s Supra. Three years ago a Japanese Toyota executive working on foreign assignment confirmed to us that indeed Toyota had investigated the Nissan 350Z thoroughly and decided it was time to offer a Toyota alternative. What is currently unknown is whether this alternative is the Supra itself or the next Celica, though Celica would be more than likely since Toyota probably does not want to canibalise potential buyers of the new Lexus LF-A.
Likely to be powered by one or three engines, 3.7 V6, a smaller turbo (courtesy of new Toyota-Subaru alliance) and a hybrid, the Supra/ Celica rendered here has been numbered at between 350 and 400 bhp (260kW – 298kW). This would make sense since the LF-A is a 500 bhp machine. Now, if only they would make the darn thing and stop showing us all its concepts! Meanwhile, how about turning that Toyota FT-HS into this Supra/ Celica thing?

It surely won't look like that. That would look outdated if it had hit the market 5 years ago. It will look positively ancient by 2010.

Looks to me they looked more at the R35 rather than the 350Z
Don't like it thought, personally the Lexus concept LF looks far more impressive as the successor for the supra

Am I wrong or does it sport the FT-HS wheels?
I always thought the Supra was so good-looking because it was a bit ahead, design-wise. The clear glass looks of its rear lights were so-not-mid-90's.
Mash FT-HS and LF-A up to get something interesting, this wouldn't even count for a Celica successor if you don't mind my opinion.
And is has this weird touch of a Charger rear end. Urgh. It's still a Jap. car. With .5 Jag XF headlights. Argh.

Its not bad, Those headlights look akward(ugly).. The front grille should be sportier IMO. They just too the grille off the Corolla, and thats not a good sign.
The back has an american muscle look to it, its decent but it could be better.

i am not with you guys...it looks beautiful, love the roof line and the bulging rear fender. I hope it will be the supra not the celica, who gives a s*it about celica,supra is going to be the best answer for toyota in the world of sport car. Will it be the GT-R contender ? make it !!

Looks to have R35 resemblance and a bit of the 350Z. But I prefer the Lexus IF Better as the new supra

I agree...the Lexus IF should be the new Supra and go after the GT-R, and this should either be the new Celica or Carolla coupe, and go after the Z

If it weren't soulless Toyota I wouldn't believe it could look like this rendering when it hits the market. It will have horrible ergonomics, you will have to duck to see anything but roof and visors, it will be slightly more reliable than its competition, and it will be a best seller.

Ummmm, how stupid can you be?, that is the FT-HS! It's more like a blend of the Supra and FT-HS, but basically it is such.
You can expect it to be a hybrid, i'd say. the design looks great to me, just needs a little more reworking on the front fender and rear lights cluster, and it would be awesome!
