Lexus LFA Roadster axed, Toyota Supra under development - report

That's disappointing. I was looking forward to a roadster version of this. Removable roof option perhaps? That would be nice.

Toyota Supra must get to the production...RWD, fron inline6 with two turbos and at least 500hp!

Not sure what's so disappointing about axing a car few people could afford and bringing a relatively affordable car to market that the relatively average joe can afford. Good decision Toyota. Now make it look good.

I suspect the new Supra will be based on the Lexus IS platform but it would be nice if it has near GTR stats... But I doubt it.

LFA was a outdated dissapointment that had few bike engines under the hood. For people who disagrees, let's see it got beaten by new Lambo, GTR, MClaren ..... And it's more money than 2 of its competitors together. Supra it was ment be all the time under -$100k. Looking forward.

The GT-R was the first out the blocks and will be the one to beat. Shame you'll probably be able to get a nearly new GT-R and R8 for the same price as a new Supra by the time it's released. Anyway, if we're going to have another recession I'm betting Toyota will postpone the idea anyway.

If they make a new supra it will have nissan 370z specs, not gtr specs. They already made their expensive supercar statment, now they need an affordable sports car to make money. I doubt it will be inline six, it will probably be a tuned version of the 3.5L engine they have in the lexas IS and toyata camry. toyata is not about making cars that enthusiasts want, they are more about making money through the ppl who just want a reliable, boring means of transportation. When toyota stopped making sporty models, it wasnt because ppl werent buying them, it was because they wanted their reliablty rating to shoot up so they could sell more units. thats why there is no more celica and supra.

That the LFA costs so much is Toyota's own fault. Since they are losing money on each car, they should have made it the new Supra to compete against the new GTR and amortize the costs over more volume and use the production techniques on other models. For what the LFA is and costs - not impressive. Priced next to the GTR then this car would have been embraced and become its own icon.
