The next Toyota Supra - a hybrid ?

Auto Express writes about the return of the Toyota Supra expected by 2009. The english magazine seems to expect the next Supra to closely follow the style of the Lexus LF-A, the Lexus super-car that should be on the market in 2008.

According to rumours, the new Toyota Supra should be powered by a hybrid system developed on the basis of the one that currently equips the Lexus GS450h. The more than 341 ps, coupled with rear wheel drive and a 7-speed sequential gearbox should make it possibile for the Supra to sprint from 0-100 km/h in less than 5 seconds and to reach speeds in excess of 260 km/h.

A prototype of the Supra might be shown in Detroit, in January.
