Toyota FT-1 Concept! The Next Supra? - The Downshift Ep. 73

On this episode of The Downshift, we talk with the designers of Toyota's new FT-1 concept, the car that could become the next Toyota Supra. The concept was designed by Calty Design Research who has been responsible for some of the Toyota brands most interesting designs including the FJ Cruiser concept, 2000 Celica and the Scion tC. Could the FT-1 concept make its way to market and usher in a new era of Toyota sports cars? Only time will tell.

I wish we would've got this

[@samuraiwolf3669]

so you would buy one ?

[@X1xRiGox3X]

Would you have paid $100k+ for it??? It would of met it's demise just like the A80 no one bought them in it's time, everyone was all over big heavy V8's and European cars. Toyota wasn't going to make something just so like a small percentage of people would buy it and the rest just staring at it on IG and watching YT videos of it salivating over it and dreaming to own one when in reality probably won't. Let's face it me or you wouldn't buy a car like that anytime soon {especially with the economy all fucked right now}. Just like a GTR R35 it took 10+ years for it to even be barely affordable in the used market. There's already a FT-1 body kit in the works anyways, it actually makes the car like 2-3inches longer and definitely wayy wider, even more then the FT-1 concept. Look up dukedynamics on IG. Also all the vents will be functional on that body kit. The B58 is proven to be a stout engine, people talk about Reliability and durability, well it's very reliable and durable hasn't had any issues since 2015 in 340i's going past 50k miles. I know a few people that are at 60k+ and still runs like new and there's are modded. The B58 is getting revisions every year and getting better.

[@sam-xl2ou]

Mouth watering seats

[@rousseau327]

That interior is just stunning. The head-up display and the steering wheel display look fantastic. I seriously hope this design makes it to production. It's great to see Japan making a comeback in the super/sportscar market, with this FT1, NSX from Honda, new GT-R from Nissan, a new Evo from Mitsubishi, and if I'm not mistaken a new RX7 from Mazda.

[@aceofclubskid]

I don't want a Ferrari, a Lambo, or even a GT-R. Just give me this car and I will giggle like a school girl even time I sit in it.

[@aaronsmith5954]

if you put a super car badge on it, ie Ferrari, lambo, Marten etc then i bet people would look at it different

[@godofawesum223]

That would require Toyota to understand the concept of prestige. These day Toyota only understands the concept of sterile unemotional conformity.

[@troytruong8246]

Yep. People are buying the name not the car itself!

[@boxmanstring5958]

I really love this car so much more then that new disgrace from bmw they call Supra when it’s really a BMW Z4

[@TeksTherapy]

Dont listen to the negative comments and just build this thing! It looks 100× better than the Nissan GTR. Please #Toyota give the public what they want from you; we all miss the #Supra. I loved everything about the design. The red start button on the steering wheel was a nice touch. It reminds me of an F1 car. If you build this for the same cost of a #Corvette I don't think you will ever keep up with consumer demand at least for the first couple of years.

[@mamunoz916]

Judging by the huge $$$ that the Lexus division charged for the LFA, I'd be surprised if Toyota could even beat the ZR1 in price, let alone the standard Corvette models. In fact, I'd be SHOCKED if they could achieve a sub-$100K price tag with this thing... even if it is an I-6 based platform. Regardless, they should definitely build the damned thing, @ least in a short run.

[@ElZamo92]

***** taking into consideration that the LFA was around 80% carbon fiber and it was built by hand just like a Rolls Royce, the price tag makes sense. I presume the FT1 won't use nearly as much carbon fiber, and neither will it be built by hand, plus it hasn't been in development for a decade (R&D is a HUGE factor in final price), so we can expect the Toyota FT1 to be in the same price range as the Corvette, considering it will likely be a turbo 4 or an inline 6 unlike the Corvette's V8.

[@dunhillsupramk3]

ElZamo92 i think you have a very good point... but i think the FT1 will use most of the LFA R&D (which is already payed off) also they might do the same as BMW and use carbon fiber reinforced plastic (which is much cheaper and faster to make and its almost as strong and light as normal carbon fiber)... also if it has a turbo 4 or V6 it will be called a "Celica" only Supra came with an inline6 engine

[@Optimoosepryme]

***** i agree. ill be astonished if its sub-$100k

[@steelbluesleepR]

"We're trying to create an authentic sports car..." as the camera pans across just two pedals. Pretty ironic.

[@supra1722]

The Supra is arguably one of the most iconic cars of all time. It remains to be one of THE best platforms to modify today, such an iconic design.

[@nismoR32GTR]

It's the ugliest of the major 4 (skyline gtr, rx-7 and nsx). It's nothing more than a highway roll race and drag car. That is all the 2j is good for. It ranks 4th. Sorry.

[@supra1722]

the MKIV, a car introduced in 1993 can lap Tsukuba faster than the R34 when fitted with a talented driver who can handle a RWD car. the Supra had the best brakes out of all 4 as well, no car Car and Driver tested braked in a shorter distance from 70mph until 2004- that car was the Carrera GT. it all depends on the owners and what they generally build the cars to do. a Supra beat R35's, R34's, and Evo's in WTC. Supra owners generally like to make their car straight line beasts which they are, a field in which they are still considered kings in after 20 years. the car has an extremely well sorted chassis, a low drag cd., an iconic design, an indestructible transmission, and a rock solid, extremely capable motor. it may not be as balanced as the NSX, it may not be as agile as an FD, it may not have 4 wheel steering like the Z and it may not be as technologically advanced like the R34 if i may say, but it sure as hell is a well rounded car. the Supra remains a benchmark in straight line racing and a well setup one can keep up pretty damn well with modern sportscars as well.

[@Tracertme]

It’s such a shame the Supra never became this, it was fabulous.

[@neofreak91x]

yep

[@teem5642]

i honestly hope they dont call ths a supra successor. everything about ths car doesnt show any supra heritage. exotic flashy design, designed by americans(nothing bad but they have put an american touch to it), the list can go on.

[@AE86ofMtAkina]

The supra was actually considered flashy back then.

[@teem5642]

The AE86 of Mt. Akina is it... Didn't know or think that

[@AE86ofMtAkina]

Leslie Marufu Compare it to some other normal cars of the time, looks way more flashier.

[@teem5642]

The AE86 of Mt. Akina comparing it to the 300zx, that car looked better.but I get what you mean

[@AE86ofMtAkina]

Leslie Marufu The 300zx was considered pretty flashy too. Compare it to a 95 Corolla and compare the FT-1 to a 2015 Corolla.

[@SerioPensalivemewrong]

Build it, it is pure art on wheels. I love the old supra too, but come on guys this thing is recockulous! Please build it. The asphalt has been needing this car for a long time.

This car should have a flat-12 engine made from two 2JZ engines. Now that would be a car worth buying

[@Borntokirune]

*genius

[@jamesflores9456]

+Josh Lewis well lets do what chevy did with their v8 to v6s but bass akuards with two 2jz for a v8 or v12 option

[@WhatUSeekisSeekingYou]

+Josh Lewis Why not a flat-8 with two motorcycle inline-4s with a high-ish redline? Exhaust ports can be located at the top where intake ports usually are to achieve the lowest mounting point. Intake ports can then be relocated between the intake and exhaust camshafts just above the spark-plugs, like it was done with the Mercedes C-291. As nice as turbo applications are today, like the 3-cylinder turbo motors by Ford and BMW, we need more NA/supercharged cars with legendary engine and throttle response.

While yes, it would be cool to see considering the NSX, Skyline and Supra were massive 90's icons for Japan, the GTR is 1/2 the price of the NSX, and the Supra (FT-1) when ever it is unveiled will most likely be around the price of a GTR.

[@chicago1680]

John Doe They are talking about a different entry level car not this next Supra for 16k..think GT-R, Z06 prices for this Supra. They are just stating that a entry level sport car will be in the lineup along with others in the future for 16k.

[@Neno8403]

If Toyota had been stupid enough to listen to your advice, they'd have lost out on millions (if not billions) of dollars of sales, because you'd have been idiotic enough to think a niche vehicle would have been more a sound business case than a mass production vehicle that not only spawned, but revolutionized the hybrid car movement.

[@RageForSeven]

Khemistry I do appreciate that you are entitled to your opinion, however i do not caution insulting someone who wishes to have a point of view which diverges from yours. What gives you the right to be so righteous and arrogant? Who decided that your understanding of the car market is so supreme that you have to treat others with disdain?

[@manrightchea]

RageForSeven People that don't know how to properly debate or rebuttal someone always go for insults and character attacks as it is their only option. They are often not knowledgeable enough to actually form a counter argument, so they take the low road and just throw insults to express their disdain for your view. It is a sign of weakness.

[@Neno8403]

Ultime justification personnelle certes mais justification tout de meme.

The last supra didn't look all that good, from some angles it looked awesome but u step in front of it and it loos bulky and ugly the headlights look sad, but then u look at the bsck end and it looks fantastic, you look at the side profile and it looks muscular. This one looks futuristic and it resembles the last Gen supra alot from some angles. NSX was ment to look like a supercar but GTR and Supra wasn't. The other two that could look like a supercar in future if they decide o make them would be rx7 and 30000gt.. and I hope they make 300zx but not 350 or 370 9r 30 or whatever they should make 300zx and call it 300zx or something

It depends on production techniques for this car. If they could mold a lot of the car in single pieces then it will be cheap. But that is a big IF>

[@dunhillsupramk3]

Supra was an affordable car but NOT a cheap car... they was always priced a little higher than the corvette but the quality on a Supra is way better

[@Swaggaccino]

Supra and GTR were competitors in the 90s and both started at around 40 grand. Since then, GTR not only doubled in the price but prestige as well. I think this new Supra will mirror the GTR, similar price range of 80-100 grand. If it's anymore then that, oh boy, it ain't gonna sell. I just hope it has about the same power as a GTR: ballpark of ~600hp. Let's not forget what a joke the BRZ/FRS is.

[@tonycruise]

HollatotheBalla yea lets not forget the mk4 supra still keeps up with the gtr

[@bmw_freak169]

when the supra came it was not a very affordable car, because when it came out it was more expensive then most of the cars on the market, you are forgetting that the supra is a old car

[@dmravi13]

Looks better than any Ferrari...

Almost 2019... Still no Supra/FT1 , but the taillights are on the Toyota's I see driving around..

[@sparkpaul]

this is a beautiful car, amazing lines, dominant stance, and instant iconic

[@Dave76324]

Please build this car it's a beautiful thing

[@Adam2JZ]

At first I was iffy, but the more I see these rolling shots the more I love it. Too bad it probably won't come in a 6 speed manual. Ill still take the MK4 !

[@metaomicron72]

Yeah but a proper gearbox like the GTR with paddle shifter will be good aswell =)

[@Adam2JZ]

Might as well throw a pillow option as well for when I fall asleep driving with paddle shifters

[@SHIREDRIFT]

As a mk2 supra owner i think it's frickin lush & can't wait to see them on the road. I saw this concept on display at Festival of speed, and next to a mk4 Supra, it just looks like progression. The FT1 kinda reminds me of a TVR Sagaris with the lairy vents and fastback styling, but Toyota build quality. Hope they aren't insane money?!

[@deliciouslifetv7362]

Wow seven years later no one would ever think that this will be the next supra .. oldie but a heck of a goodie.. hope to see that car in person..!

[@enigmaPL]

If this doesn't come with a PROPER 6 or even 7spd speed manual, then we'll all be greatly disappointed. You CANNOT say you have made a great sports/drivers car if it doesn't. For once look at the Americans as an example, Mustangs, Corvettes, Camaros, Viper, etc. All still have proper manuals available, that's why they sell like hotcakes these days.

[@jmckmedia6377]

I was disappointed when i heard the gtr came with a v6 when the RB engine was such a performer, though the 3.8 in that is clearly doing a good job. I sincerely hope they stick with the inline 6 on this FT-1 and some healthy turbocharging. Change is good but, why change such a winning formula when they can perfect it?!

[@enigmaPL]

Ricky Vang Inline 6's are not dead and still much better performance engines than a v6 and much better sounding, AND easier to work on and modify. What suggested to you that inline 6's are dead? BMW still uses them, in FACT, the new M3/M4 is going back to traditional inline 6, from its 4.0L V8 in the E92. Just because Nissan cheaped out and used their VQ engine from the 350z as a base, then just upgraded that, doesn't mean the death of an inline 6. It was cheaper and easier for them to do. Not to mention the GT-R has become a time attack appliance, not really a fun drivers car. This is where this new "Supra" comes in, alongside the M3/M4 as a driver focused car. Just like the LF-A but on a more affordable price range. An inline 6 would bring back the spirit of Toyota's amazing L6 engines from the past, and with improvements in tech these days, I can only imagine what a '3JZ' could do, but they really need to take their time with it and over engineer it, just like they did with the 2JZ. That engine was released well ahead of its time and not respected until after the car was discontinued and everyone started realizing how amazing it was.

[@rakhit]

Wow... and here I thought the era of the Supra was over. And they come out with this. Impressive.

[@strifu808]

SUPRA BANZAAII@

[@Brandon-dj9cq]

Hey, disappointed yet?

[@Raybizzo]

The future does not exist except in your mind. This is a beautiful vehicle and with the reputation Toyota has this car will more than likely be consumer friendly. This car will turn more heads than just about any high end sports car on the road. I actually don't want it cheap; it'll make it less special because everyone else has one in my opinion.

[@madeira_tourism_oficial]

Excellent Final Product. Hope doing a review very son and feeling all that glamour...

[@johnpob2486]

Toyota has all the technology to play catch up. I hope they make this car under $30k, so an average car enthusiasts can have this bad boy in their garage. I own a 370z and I love to see this car parked right next to mine.

[@BlueRice]

30k... more like 70k

[@johnpob2486]

LOL

[@MidnightNaomi]

It's pretty obvious this is going to be competing with cars like the Nissan GT-R and the upcoming NSX. Maybe if they bring back the Celica, you can get your sub-30k sportscar fix from Toyota, but you're crazy if you think this is gonna be much less than 100k.

[@Neno8403]

How much of an idiot, non-car enthusiast do you have to be, to think that this super sports car will be anywhere near 30K, much less UNDER 30K?? This car will compete with cars that cost 70-80K. That is beyond obvious, without even knowing any real specs.

[@fourth1000]

Khemistry the reason why a lot of Japanese midrange sport cars tanked is due to low sales. If they want to continue in that vein, then keep overpricing them with no low entry level version to build up.

[@Submitr]

Interior looks HORRIBLE. Please make the interior very simplistic. It needs to be a drivers car, we don't need buttons on the steering wheel. I love the FRS steering wheel, very driver oriented. And we don't need fancy gadgets either in the cabin either. Just a great steering wheel, comfortable seats with a precise fast shifter (please make it in 6sp manual...)

[@RaulRodriguez-vv8zb]

I would love to know the honest opinions from the designers of this car compared to what was released for 2020. Not quite the drop dead gorgeous design you originally came up with. It’s like cost control went down the entire list and said “No, too expensive!”

[@romefox]

Duuudeee, this looks soooooo much better than what they released.

[@ReCodeDetro]

The next supra? I wish. Supra is one of kind. I'm not saying this is a bad car but their is to much of a generation gap to even be compared or called a successor of the Supra model.

I'm not feeling those 2 fans in the front.

I don't why why people are talking this down, its a hot car and its the future now so....I would buy it in a heart beat!!!! new is sexy!!!!

[@Syn741]

how is this an ugly car?! i think you got to get your eyes check! The design is really good in my opinion.

[@MadOgre]

I had a Supra. Loved it. Raced Porsches in it. They were all good looking cars, each generation, in their own ways. This - looks ugly as hell.

[@EricShelton]

Agreed, and glad to know I'm not alone in that thought. Everyone seems to be ranting and raving about it, but I think it looks ridiculous.

[@jasonduval7852]

supra is one of the best car ever

[@FrankSandqvist]

Eric Shelton Toyota just can't seem to get their styling right nowadays, in my opinion. They go way too crazy with it.

[@dannysmr2]

you guys are cray, for a futuristic car this thing is spot on and is damn sexy. be more open minded to how sport cars are goin to come to be in the next 20 years cause this is it. yes i LOVE my 90's jdm cars dont get me wrong, mr2, supra, skyline, rx7 ect.... However like they said toyota hasnt done shit in 15 years sports car wise. So if this is the first thing they bring back to the line up id be more then happy. Thing is what is the price tag on this?! im guessing around GTR type pricetag. at least 80k for this thing! so it best have some serious nuts!

[@EricShelton]

Danny T, do you have any idea how hard it is to take a conversation about design and good taste seriously with someone who says "cray" and doesn't capitalize or use punctuation correctly? PS- It looks like a cartoon, not a car.

[@TheBTRGarage]

Definitely looks pretty wild!

[@JC-hr8mg]

This is what everyone wanted, this vehicle being produced on the LC500 platform since it was confirmed to be designed in the hopes the LC500 platform was to be used for it. Instead they compromise it into a Z4 convertible chassis. That's not even getting into all the BMWness the car has inside. You could've had a winner Toyota and you're now seeing the backlash for going the way you did.

[@DellSchanze]

It's about time. Hello Toyota!! I don't buy anything but Toyota and it has been a bit lame that I have no sports guy I can even buy. Bummin. Now you better making it reasonably priced and last 400,000 miles like all your other cars.

[@Ante_Knezevic]

Last time i heard about Toyota people got killed over brake & gas pedal failure..

[@mrolskul]

Tomislav Zvonimir Sadly, the same thing happened to Audi back in the 80's (which nearly broke the company). However, after testing and re-testing, no one, and I do mean no one from all the labs, independent and otherwise, could recreate the phenomenon. I all goes back to the user. There are many people who drive with two feet while operating an automatic vehicle. I can pick them out in traffic as their brake lights flicker on and off while they try to hover their left foot over the brake pedal while accelerating/maintaining forward momentum. This makes for these kinds of false claims. Unfortunately, it takes all kinds to make the world go around.

[@Ante_Knezevic]

Putting audi & toyota in the same sentence? Try again..

[@mrolskul]

Tomislav Zvonimir You're right. Audi was nowhere to be found in the 70's. It was a lonely stepchild while Toyota, like it or not, was breaking ground with reliability and quality, a fact which Audi cannot match to this day. I should know, I was around back then to witness it first hand, Now, if you are talking styling and personal likes, that's a different story. But love it or hate it, Toyota is the gold standard when it comes to good, reliable, run till you drop, cars. The mere fact that VW, Audi's parent company, charges top dollar for their products, doesn't make them superior to Toyota. Besides, if you want a luxury brand vehicle, then Lexus has that covered. All you have to do is see the ton of awards Toyota/Lexus has garnered in the last three decades, a feat Audi cannot match. In the end, my money always goes to the manufacturer who will provide me with a vehicle that will last for decades to come, which is why I'm still driving my 29 year-old Corolla GT-S.

[@MRsteezy123]

Tomislav Zvonimir are you serious? Toyotas make way better engines than audis..audis are infact trash they break down frequently and require lots of maintenance and when you need to buy a part they are 4 x as expensive any part Chrysler, gm,toyota, and Honda....Audis are like bmw they have a name to them but they got piss poor reliability and you gotta find a mechanic that specializes in audis because they use allot more electronic technology then toytota.....Toyota is the type of car if it brakes you can fix it and take it apart with a wrench and screwdriver..audi you gonna need special tools for certain things like brakes for example..lets not forget the fact that Toyota created a bulletproof engine that can handle 1500 hp easy the 2jz yea lemme know when audi creates a 3.0 l that can handle 1500 hp

[@techo61]

A straight six, yes please! There is a reason why BMW and Ford (Australia) have stuck with them for so long, dimensions and capacity aside, they are a sweet/smooth motor.
