Toyota, the Japanese car manufacturer plans to build a new sports car instead of MR2 and reborn their legendary sports car, the Supra. Supra was a sports car that has been manufactured by Toyota since 1979 but stopped production earlier in 2002. Well, this car issued will soon reborn at the end 2013.
Later, this sports car will use a hybrid engine that combines a 1500 cc petrol engine with an electric motor. Initially, Toyota plans to transplant a V6 engine in this car, but because the CR-Z has proved successful in Japan, Toyota is also reportedly reviewing it in order not to be regarded as the imitators. Toyota Supra Hybrid development is the realization of concept car with FT-HS (Future Toyota Hybrid Sport), which never exhibited in Detroit in 2007.
Development of this model was reportedly walking along with the development of FT-86 which is collaboration between Toyota and Subaru. However, the rebirth of the Toyota Supra will seem a little disturbed, because Honda is also preparing similar sports cars. Even Nissan and Mitsubishi have gone further with the plan of issuing electric-powered sports car.
Nissan is currently preparing a two-door electric car that combines Nissan Landglider and Nissan Leaf as a source of inspiration and planned to be introduced at the upcoming 2014. Meanwhile, Mitsubishi plans to produce the i MiEV sport version in 2012 and reportedly also is preparing a legendary sports car, Lancer Evolution in hybrid versions.
