" Toyota calls this sports car the FT-HS Concept. We call it the next Supra. You remember the Supra, right? It was the high-performance sports car Toyota produced in the &amp;#039;80s and &amp;#039;90s, the last of which rolled off the assembly line in 1996 and became a favorite for the import-tuning crowd. Well, this concept hints that a future Supra is indeed in the works\u2014and it&amp;#039;s a hybrid. The FT-HS isn&amp;#039;t Toyota&amp;#039;s first sports-car hybrid concept; we were smitten by the mid-engine Volta concept a few years back. But, unlike that car, this is the one most likely for production. Toyota kept and eye on practicality with this concept: It&amp;#039;s a four-seater, just like previous Supras. The chassis is based on the same structure as the Lexus LF-A sports car that&amp;#039;s been green-lit for production. But instead of a thirsty V8 or V10, the FT-HS has a sports-tuned, 3.5-liter V6 augmented by the next-generation hybrid system to produce the equivalent of 400 hp. The power in this concept is routed through a paddle-shifted manu-matic transmission through the rear wheels. Whether that hybrid system uses a lithium-ion battery pack is unclear. But given the time it takes to develop a new vehicle, that seems probable. \u2014Ben Stewart (CLICK TO ENLARGE) (CLICK TO ENLARGE) (CLICK TO ENLARGE) (CLICK TO ENLAGE) "^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
