Wikipedia’s Entry on the 2008 Toyota Supra

Major print and online auto publications have hinted at a possible revival of the Supra in 2007/2008, pointing the car in different directions. The vehicle was originally thought to be the flagship or halo model in the Toyota lineup, be powered by a high output V8, and have an estimated cost anywhere between $50,000 and $70,000. This was due to the increasing number of sighting of a high performance sports car being tested throughout Europe and, more specificly, on the Nürburgring. These vehicles have turned out to be the test mules for Lexus’ future Lexus LF-A. It is now believed that that if a new Supra were to be released, it will be positioned to compete directly against the Nissan 350Z. It is expected to be available as a coupe and convertible, have a V6 producing around 300 hp, and cost between $25,000 and $35,000. Throughout the past couple of years, different publications as well as fans of the Supra have created several renditions of what a new Supra might look like if it were ever to be produced.
