This concept and the car it may just replace has become an internet legend.  Pix and video of the “new hybrid Supra” or “Toyota FT-HS (Future Toyota Hybrid Sport)” have been floating around the intertubes for the past 3 years.  It’s one of the most searched topics at HECN.

Carsandsense.com wrote a little on the new Supra (?).  Their take, written in April wasn’t much more than what I’ve been able to find so far:

…The concept car of what may be the next Supra, called the FT-HS. Toyota says the concept has a total 400 net horsepower, good for 0-60 mph in around four seconds, but has yet to project fuel economy or emissions ratings, except to say that both would be really good.  There will most certainly be design elements on the FT-HS, such as the wild “boomerang” instrument panel and no-hub steering wheel, which would not make it to production. The Toyota Supra will likely be a limited edition to support both retail sales and residual values for the Toyota brand’s newest performance and technology flagship.  The previous generation Toyota Supra left America 10 years ago and Lexus took over the prestige role for the whole company. But as Toyota has crafted generations of reliable yet uninspiring automobiles, Toyota is looking for a young, new look.  A sports car might be the right thing, especially since Toyota has a relevant performance heritage thanks to ownership of a Formula 1 team since 2002, a piece of victory at the 2003 Indianapolis 500, and a fleet of cars in NASCAR….

Even though the car is still more of a reality than anything in Glenn Beck’s mind, I’ll give in and provide the FT-HS conspiracy theorists more pix and video, to feed the frenzy.
