>> High-output version will aim to get more then 100hp/liter; target of 220hp
>> Toyota will design the rear-differential; the Subaru rear-diff won't have the capacity to handle the higher-output engine power due to it being designed primarily for 4WD applications
>> Transmission will be a 6MT from Aisin Seiki (as found in the Mazda RX-8/MX-5)

Nissan 370Z

>> Toyota may be looking at Li-on batteries for the production version of the car

The FT-HS looks less like a snow shovel with the revised front bumper/air dam


The name GT4500h makes sense to me as the FT-HS shares the same powertrain as the GS450h, even though the FT-HS is more powerful. Then again, until anything is made official, this is just some average rumors for your entertainment only.

 

Good news for Toyota's fan if this turns out to be true. But I highly doubt that tho.

 

Is this 4500GTh related to the LF-A in anyway? If they boosted that FR it'd be a cool little car.

 

The EJ20 is pretty sweet.

 

Yeah, that "UPS" seems like it'll be cool.

 

FR is looking good.......

 

Can't wait for the real FR to come out. That sketch looks nice

 

It would be nice to see the 4500 GTh come out. That is a nice cool looking hybrid.

 

If Toyota makes something that looks close to that FR p-shop and the specs are pretty close on, that will be something I will be interested in

 

... I like Fedex

 

Very interesting rumours if true. We could possibly get three distinct Toyota sports cars in the next few years (assuming the rumours are true)!

IMHO I really hope these rumours are true as this would seriously silence a lot of Toyota's critics, and it would make a lot of Toyota fans happy .

I see this magazine also mentions the LF-A. I wonder if there is any new info.

 

Celica All-Trac successor kthnx.

 

lol, glad i wasn't the only one that noticed it.

magazines like these in Japan...you really have to take it with a grain of salt like those tabloids about celebrities.

 

Well I think the cheap RWD toyota coupe is pretty much a done deal.

The Supra type car IMO is more rumors.

Some of the new Z pictures look pretty real. The headlights resemble those of the jut introduced new Maxima and that interior shot has the Infiniti interior.....AGAIN!!!

 

Yeah but the main reason I call it a rumor still is because of the finer details within. Specs like a target of 220hp and Aisin 6MT are new speculations to me. Plus they have a spy photo of the test mule. Even though it may not (better not) look anything like the final car, it still represents the progress Toyota has made.
