2012 Toyota Supra, original photo the Lexus LFA of course. I changed the lower body, tucking it under instead of the Lexus's almost flat sides. The front clip is totally
different as well, reflecting Toyota's lower price, lower top speed and more plebian role in life, with larger headlights evocative of the last Supra, and fog lights for more of a production look. I added "normal" door handles, larger taillights, turn indicators in the mirrors, new wheels, and a few other "Supra" details. I like the way this car turned out. I doubt any new Toyota would be as cleanly styled as this, they really have a very bulbous aesthetic these days, but we can always hope!

According to this rumor we can hear some interesting things, namely that Toyota is working on a new MR2 and a Supra, most importantly a hybrid option.
The Toyota MR2 replacement is due in 2013 and will carry a hybrid powertrain with a 1.5L gasoline engine. While the decision may seem weird it’s perfectly logical and is inspired by what’s happening at Honda. Original plans called for a V6 hybrid powertrain but the success of the CR-Z in Japan has changed thinking of engineers.
Now, some development has gone into the V6 Hybrid possibility and it would be a shame to waste it. That said, Toyota thinks it may find some decent role in the moving about of another great car of theirs wroth reviving. The Toyota Supra, which was originally previewed by the FT-HS concept at the 2007 Detroit Auto Show, was confirmed to be shelved. However, increasing hybrid sales have given the Supra a second chance. Insiders say that the next-generation Supra is likely to carry this particular V6 hybrid powertrain.
