[xoom]

toyota produces a lot of future concept cars and i dont think ive ever seen a single one of their concepts ever hit production ???????? ive only seen the concepts hit production where they namely state its the 20XX replacement for X car ..... just like the sportivo concept that was built here in aus ... they never stated when n which car and now its totally off the road map .....

[JBop]

thats so true xoom!

what happened to the Volta and FTX ute. if they ever decide to finish the new supra, theyll probably release it as another concept and then abandon it hehe

thought id bring this thread back up since its already been talked about...

heres a bit of what i found out bout the new celica..

Road & Track Magazines

It comes as no surprise that Toyota has something up its sleeve int he mid-price range sports-car segment. As Nissan's 350z keeps rolling year after year with solid sales numbers and a growing fan base, Toyota has had no answer; the most sporting model in the current lineup is the TRD Tacoma pickups, as the company's sporting cars namely the Celica and Supra, are no longer around. But things may change dramatically very soon. As we reported several months ago, plans are under way for a new Supra. And we've discovered thatthe new Supra has the makings of something very special. Toyota is pulling no punches with this car. Simply put, it plans to take over the mid-price sports-car segment. The new Supra which we predict will go on sale in early 2008, will be powered by a naturally aspirated 3.5 liter V-6 (2GR-FSE in the GS350) The specially tuned version of this all-aluminum powerplant is expected to produce 350bhp at 7000 rpm and about 290 lb-ft of torque at 5000. Combine this with a curb weight of about 3200 lb, and you have a car that could run to 60 mph in the mid-4.0 secs. making it quicker than the current 350z. There is still the possibility that Toyota will jam its 4.3 liter V-8 into the engine bay, but not until later in its life cycle. The V-6 may come mated to a twin-clutch 6-speed manual transmission like the DSG used in the Audi and Volkswagon. Because the Supra will be built on the current Lexus IS platform, it will no doubt come with the same basic suspension setup upper and lower A-arms up rear. However, we hear that Toyota engineers are busy tuning it to handle with the best sports cars in Europe. The new Supra is experted to come in both coupe and convertible versions or perhaps as a retractable hardtop, with the price tag under that of the 350z. Think of it; a new sports-car priced in the low-$30,000 range with the handling and power-to-weight ratio of a car-and with Toyota reputation. It's a car that'll grab the attention of any enthusiast.

The FTX did come to life, as the Toyota Tundra. Sure, it's not related by too much but you can definitely see the link.

It will be drifted. You know it will

I hope Toyota do something with this one, coz it sounds like it's on a winner!
