New Toyota Concept Car at Detroit Motor Show

Published Date: 14th Jan 2007

Production of the original Toyota Supra ended 10 years ago but Toyota unveils its new concept Supra coupe model (FT-HS) at the Detroit Motor Show in January 2007.   

 This new hybrid coupe concept Supra was designed in California and it’s claimed it can reach 0-62 in approximately 4 seconds.  It has a 292bhp 3.5 litre V6 engine driving the front wheels plus an electric motor and battery pack, giving a total 400bhp.  

Toyota claim this can help the FT-HS achieve V8 or even supercharged V8 performance.   With the additional option of electrically assisted stop-start to further reduce pollutants, Toyota designed this as the first ‘green’ sports car which can achieve supercar performance. 

The concept Supra FT-HS has several interesting design features including a roof panel that drops down and retracts to cover the rear seats, thus changing it into a roadster. UK Car Discount offers great discount on cheap new Toyota models – buy for cash price or on a new car finance deal to suit you – cheap Toyota PCP deals or cheap Toyota HP deals.  Just select your chosen vehicle, add your options and your new car quote is ready for you.
