Toyota Rumored to be Readying a Hybrid Sports Car 1-2 Punch: 1) Toyota MR2 to take Honda CR-Z head on. 2) Toyota Supra-like hybrid, called FT-HS, based on the FT-86. Toyota to launch to new hybrid sports cars: MR2 and Supra - AutoSpies Auto News Toyota to launch two new hybrid sports cars: MR2 and Supra Whatta you think? Reality or just a rumor ?
If it really is a 2013/14, then it will continue as a rumor for quite some time. Also leaves plenty of time for changes along the way to reality. That said, isn't this what we expected out of a new Prius division? Would be stunned if 3/4 of the Toyota and Lexus fleet aren't hybrid drives by then. That's their own roadmap. No rumor necessary that far out.
I always thought it strange that Toyota have removed all their sports models from their UK lineup. Gone are the MR2, Celica and Supra. Would make sense that some of these popular names are to return with hybrid assitistance.
A Celica is noticiably missing from the list. Could Toyota be planning on introducing a 2-door couple sooner than 2013? Suspect that if they do, it won't be a hybrid to keep the price down - but maybe not?
