Toyota is planning on a hybrid version of the Supra. A version of the Toyota Supra Hybrid was seen as early as the 2007 Detroit auto show but it had been shelved. Now it appears to be back in the plans again.
The gas-electric hybrid drivetrain is expected to be a derivative of the 3.5-litre V6 mated to the electric drive system found in the Crown Hybrid, with 400 hp to the rear wheels. The gas only Supra will sport a V6 with the same displacement.
With the worst of the economic downturn behind us and rising oil prices on hand expect more hybrid auto plans that might have been on hold to be gaining revival steam.
