I doubt it's going to be that plain. The car will look too much like the GT86. Toyota need something to stand out, not a more powerful BRZ.
Toyota developed the GT86 with Subaru. It wouldn't be too much of a stretch to release a GT86 successor in collaboration with BMW. Toyota already said they would only name a car "Supra" to a car befitting of that name, meaning 100% designed and manufactured by Toyota and a high end sports car. This BMW/Toyota car is going to happen but I really don't see this as the next Supra. A GT86 successor perhaps.
I still say the FT1 concept is much closer to LC500 which is could be the sister car to the next gen supra. Just like the SC300 was to the MK4 Supra.
These camo cars just do not look like a Supra successor, it looks like a much lower end car from the way it sits and its proportions like a GT86 type car instead of something that is supposed to take on a Corvette or 911.

Agree. Appears to be FRS/BRZ/86-like in size but I'm hopeful the camo is doing its thing in misleading us while the real size and stance is 911-like when the wraps come off.
I take back what I said about these camo's not looknig like FT-1. In these most recent photos, it appears they peeled back some of the camo and we can better see the resemblance. That rear show has the organic bubbly lines of the MK4 Supra. The camo car also has a hint of a rear intake for the rear brakes on the door. There's a separate panel that could be covering that up. One major difference is the FT1 is a 2+2 while the camo car is definitely a 2 seater. There's just no space between the door and the rear wheel well.
I mean, just look at the difference between these two camo cars. There's a clear difference in the way the rear bulges out. The top I completely dismissed as GT86 successor. The bottom makes me think twice...

It looks the same to me.
the top pic had the stick on tailights that the early test mules had which give the appearance of a wider rearr in this angle of the pic.

The concept is just a shell over a RC chassis. The design team said they made the concept 10% larger than what a production car would be in order to give the FT-1 a great stage presence.

I think it looks proportional to the old Supra. IMO the prototype in question has a longer hood than the 86. The last gen wasn't that big to start off with. It is only 10.9 inches longer than the 86.

Last Supra had a longer Corvette/SC400/928ish stance and proportions with a longer sleeker profile and was a full on competitor to those cars, it looked pretty expensive and special. These camo cars have more of a GT86/Celica/Z3 stance and proportions and don't look like something that would compete with a Corvette, LC, or 911 or all that special but more lower end like a slighter bigger GT86/BMW Z3 competitor or at most a 370Z competitor which no longer competes with the Corvette like the 300ZXtt used to.

Looks proportional too me. Even people on Supraforums and Supra owners club thought the latest spy shots look proportional to the MKIV and is starting to look closer to the FT1.
