I remember the old Supra and this new one looks much better.

Pretty good looking car. It could almost pass for a Ferarri.

Saw the write-up in MT a while back. Initial thoughts, Meh. Just some renderings and still shots.

Holy Moly, Pictures do not do this car justice. I'm liking this car more than the new NSX. Sleek and exotic Interested to read specs, performance figures and pricing. I threw that MT out . stupid stupid stupid.

Also would love to see the interior layout. Definitely looks Ferrari-esque.

With all the new cars coming to market, this one could see the light of day. If priced at or near the C7 with decent performance (i8-ish), could be a huge hit.

great looking car... I think this is actually a joint venture involving both Toyota and BMW.

FT1. Sounds like it has a mean streak listening to the exhaust note. I like it. Would love to drive it to see what it's got.

Looks sick!

Pause at 4:30 and 8:30.

Seats look spectacular and the overall design and stance look awesome!!

The FT-1 concept has been out for quite a while now. One of the best looking cars ever designed.

My neighbor is a Toyota engineer. One of the few that actually won't tell secrets! Whenever I mention the Supra he responds with FT1 then refuses to mention engine, target market or price point. I think it's a good looking car and and if it's anything like the last one it should be quick

This FT-1 IF it adheres very closely to the concept would be huge for Toyota. Problem is, they'll probably never make it and if they do, it will be so 'watered down' as to be completely neutered. But we can only hope.
