Is the 2008 Toyota Supra a Hybrid?
People are currently speculating that the long-awaited 2008 Toyota Supra is actually a hybrid version. Auto Express thinks they know what the latest Toyota Supra will look like:
The Supra is back! Believe it or not this silver machine is Toyota’s all-new performance flagship, a hybrid-powered rival to coupes such as Nissan’s new GT-R.Replacing the firm’s famous sports car - which disappeared from Toyota’s line-up in 1996 - the new model will go on sale in 2008, and takes styling inspiration from luxury brand Lexus’ forthcoming LF-A.
But while that car will use a 500bhp 4.8-litre V10 when it arrives in 2009, Toyota’s new model gets a tweaked version of the Lexus GS450h’s 341bhp 3.5-litre V6 hybrid powertrain, giving it a unique combination of performance and economy.
