 Toyota applies for second trademark on Supra name
Toyota FT-HS Concept

FT-86 Concept gets a proper name?

According to a recent report, Toyota's lawyers made a little mistake as they let the company's ownership of the Supra name expire.

Before you start worrying about a Tata Nano-based Supra, rest assured, Toyota has once again applied for the trademark after a four-year lapse.

While this could mean nothing (companies routinely protect names they've previously used), it wouldn't be surprising if Toyota decided to slap the Supra label on the production version of the FT-86 concept. Despite being speculation, it seems like a logical choice given the FT-86 is scheduled to launch in November 2011. Of course, if we want to be optimistic, Toyota could be preparing another sportscar - like the FT-HS concept - for a Supra revival.

Regardless of what happens, stayed tuned to WCF for continuing coverage of the Supra saga.

The second coming of the Supra? And the FT-86 already got a name, the Toyota FR-S.

IMO this looks better than the LFA...!! Unless toyota takes 10 years to launch it, then it'll look out of date by then (bit like the LFA)!
