Hey guys did you know about the new Supra Hybrid showed in the 2007 Motor Show? Son of Supra will be a hybrid! This silver machine is Toyota's all-new performance flagship, a hybrid-powered rival to coupés such as Nissan's new GT-RThe 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. With rear-wheel drive and a seven-speed sequential auto, the supercar should cover the 0-60mph sprint in less than five seconds and hit a top speed in excess of 170mph, yet return 30mpg. The mach-ine has already been seen testing at the Nürburgring circuit in Germany. I'm looking forward to see it. Not sure if I could afford a new car yet. But it's always great to hear about the new things toyota is doing. (IMG:
