" DETROIT \u2014 Toyota unveiled our favorite car of the Detroit auto show so far tonight: the FT-HS sports coupe. At an invite-only reception after the show was officially over, Toyota showed select media their idea of what a 21st-century sports car should look like. Now, sketches and photos do not do this car justice: I want this car in my garage, like, now. The styling is tough, edgy and, for the most part, original. For a brand known for stodgy styling, the FT-HS is certainly a surprise. But the goodness of the FT-HS isn&amp;#039;t just in the lines penned by the team at Toyota&amp;#039;s CALTY California design studio; it&amp;#039;s in the powertrain. This is a gas-electric hybrid sports car\u2014one that promises to deliver around 400 hp from the combination of the 3.5-liter V6 and electric motors. Toyota says it can hit 60 mph in about four seconds. Not cool enough? How about delivering the car for about $35,000. Interested? Yeah, I thought so. The best news of all is that this sexy beast isn&amp;#039;t just a concept; it&amp;#039;s the next Supra. Toyota insiders I spoke too were tight-lipped about production specifics\u2014including the powertrain. But when we asked one of their tech gurus if the design was close to the production car, he replied, &amp;quot;Oh yeah, it&amp;#039;s about 85 percent there.&amp;quot; That&amp;#039;s confirmation enough for us. Sign us up. You might expect to see a car like this in Toyota showrooms around 2009. \u2014Ben Stewart EARLIER: First Look at Toyota&amp;#039;s FT-HS Concept Click here for complete coverage of the 2007 North American International Automobile Show in Detroit.
