Supra Exciting: Tons of Videos and Pics of Toyota FT-1 Concept

Maybe your life has felt a bit empty since 1998 when Toyota ceased selling the Supra in the United States. Since then, sportiness and emotionality have been seeping out of the Toyota brand like blue liquid in overflowing diaper commercials.

That could change with the advent of the Toyota FT-1 concept. “FT” is short for “Future Toyota” while the “1” represents the ultimate, number-one, representation of Toyota coupe design, which draws inspiration from legends like the 2000GT and Supra. Looking to the future, this concept hints at Toyota’s more emotionally evocative design direction.

Designed by the team at Calty Design Research in Newport Beach, California, there’s little information as to what is underneath this car’s skin; however, the quote below from Kevin Hunter, President of Calty Design Research, may fill you in.

“While we’re not saying what engine is going in this car, we wanted it to give the impression, anyway, that it’s in the lineage of that straight-six motor.”

Whether this car remains a concept or becomes something you can buy, you will be able to drive it (at least in the virtual world) because the FT-1 will be available for download Jan. 14 in Gran Turismo 6.
