Pioneer unconventional engine designs in the industry
The Japanese automotive giant, Toyota, is making waves in the sports car world with its upcoming models, the new Supra and the revived Celica. However, the future of these vehicles remains uncertain.
The new Supra, a front-engine rear-wheel-drive car, is expected to continue in this layout. Its powertrain will consist of a 2.0-liter turbocharged four-cylinder and hybrid technology, with an estimated combined output exceeding 500 horsepower. The electric motor and battery will be positioned behind the seats.
On the other hand, the Celica is rumoured to return as a mid-engine sports car, marking Toyota's first series-produced mid-engine car since the MR2. Despite the anticipation, there is currently no confirmed information about a mid-engine layout for the upcoming Celica.
Toyota's Gazoo Racing is reportedly working on both projects. The new Supra's development is already underway, while the Celica revival is a subject of speculation.
Both models are expected to offer a choice between a six-speed manual and an eight-speed automatic transmission. The Celica is rumoured to have around 400 horsepower by 2028, but no concrete figures have been released yet.
As for the all-wheel-drive system, the new Supra is not expected to receive it, but the Celica is rumoured to feature this setup. However, no specific details about the Celica's all-wheel-drive design have been disclosed.
Estimated prices for these sports cars in Japan range from around $50,000 to $70,000 (€42,795 to €59,913). Yet, it's important to note that these models are not confirmed for release outside of Japan at this time.
Toyota has a history of showcasing sports car studies but often abandoning them. The company's commitment to these new projects remains to be seen. Nonetheless, the anticipation for the new Supra and Celica is palpable, as they promise to add excitement to Toyota's sporting image, which the company is actively trying to enhance through unconventional projects.
Despite the lack of official video footage of the Toyota Supra Final Edition, fans and enthusiasts eagerly await more information about these iconic sports cars. Stay tuned for updates as more details emerge.
