This is amazing. I think it looks truly stunning. But there is a reason for that. Its crazy, it demands attention, the massive air scoop on the wing, the creases and sharp angles just do amazing things for it. But it cant be changed, or toned down, it needs to stay crazy for it to stay as amazing as it is. But the issue is how many concepts do that?

It's apparently just a design study, according to the blurb in GT6.

Remember the Scion Frs concept? It's almost the same. I think it's gonna look like a bigger FRS.

I think the solution to a mundane production model is for it to be expensive. ZL-1, GT500, SRT-8 price range for a fully loaded model (Can't steal Lexus's thunder). It could be a great muscle car contender.

Likely with a price to compete with the GTR/NSX :(

But honestly, if they can deliver this at around $45-50K I'd likely be a buyer

It would be amazing if they kept it the same with some changes to its snout

Don't worry! It's not like they have a history of turning things like this:

Into things like this:

As much as I love the GT-F86RS-Z, the rear leaves something to be desired. They look stunning from the front, but then it just drops off. Like they remembered they were Toyota and weren't allowed to take risks that might include straight lines.

Well if you think about it, it kinda has to be priced along with the GTR, at least in top trim.

The MK4 RZ (twin turbo) Supra's inflated MSRP would have been almost 70 grand in 2013 monies. Base model was probably around 40 grand, maybe? So if they do it right, they will have a cheaper Supra for people to buy, then a badass top level world beating Supra for people to aspire to.

I could get behind that pricing structure.

I just hope they learned their lesson from the GT86 that there is some real interest in affordable performance.

Also then it would slot just enough above the FR-S it wouldn't hurt sales of either.

Toyota builds MK5 Supra

North Korea surrenders to South Korea, entire country is turned into a racetrack.

World peace.

Toyota builds MK5 Supra

Mazda builds FE RX-7

Honda builds AP3 S2000

North Korea surrenders to South Korea, entire country is turned into a test track for a new Hyundai/Kia mid engine supercar that competes with the 458 Italia.

Seriously.

I don't care what it looks like or how much it costs.

JUST BUILD THE DAMN THING! AND THEN KEEP BUILDING IT!

I'm a big fan of cars that are continuously produced. Some generations have issues but they usually get sorted out because the product keeps evolving. IMO the reason the Corvette and the 911 are the kings of the high end sports car market is because they never ceased production. The public never forgets about them and the cars keep evolving.
