Return of the Toyota Supra

When the Toyota Supra ceased being sold at Toyota dealers in the U.S. in 1999, fans everywhere mourned the loss of the iconic sports car. Originally a longer wider Toyota Celica with genuine Toyota parts, the Supra quickly gained a style of its own that built a wide fan base and became popular in videogames, movies, TV shows, and even music videos.

For years rumors have been passed about that this once great car will be reintroduced to American consumers. The upcoming announcement of the Toyota FT-HS (Future Toyota-Hybrid Sport) has led many to speculate that this will be the latest incarnation of the Supra brand.

According to the rumors, the Supra will be available with a V6 (340hp) or a V8 (450hp) engine. The expected price of the car is between $40,000 and $50,000.
