Toyota Registers the Name Supra

It is no longer a secret that Toyota is carefully preparing for the return of a high-performance coupe bearing the name Supra.

In Detroit, we were introduced to the concept FT-1, a car that will be found in the video game Gran Turismo 6. For many, it was a concept sports coupe with the stylistic signature of the upcoming Supra still in development.

Today we learned that the Japanese automaker has just registered the name Supra in the United States.

The Toyota Supra was produced between 1978 and 2002.

We should therefore expect to see a concept even closer to the eventual production model later this year.
