The revival of the Supra name on a sports model is supported by Akio Toyoda, the president of Toyota. The official already give green light to the new project, but the shareholders are opposed.

Even if they have problems with reliability, Toyota is not giving back from the great projects. Akio Toyoda, the Japanese automaker president, said recently that he wants a descendant of the ancient and legendary Supra. The development project got the green light from Toyoda, but much of the company’s shareholders oppose such a model.

If he succeed to reach an agreement with the Board members, Toyoda will bring on the market the model that all fans dream more than four years, the development process will go in parallel with the delayed FT-HS coupe concept, developed in partnership with Subaru.

About a Supra future currently there are no details, but the specialists talk about a V6 gasoline engine, assisted by an electric unit. The electric unit will be responsible for the propulsion of the sports model, which hopes to bring in Toyota showrooms the passionate customers of sports models.

The Toyoda’s dream is to bring on the market a descendant of Supra. He dreams to the years when he spent a lot of time on the Nurburgring circuit, with the old generation of sports model. Back then, he said that he wants a more powerful car than Supra and he wants to be more involved in the development process.

Until we are able to see a survivor’s name as the Supra, Toyota intends to launch in the near future the successor of the famous MR-2, the roadster who retired several years ago. The propulsion will be provided by a 1.5-liter gasoline engine and an electric, powered by batteries.
