Could it Be?: Is THIS the long anticipated Supra?

I know I just posted pictures of a new Toyota Concept car, but take a look at this: (DO NOT CONFUSE THIS WITH THE FT-86. Although similar in appearance, this is far, far above the FT-86 concept.)

Until recently, no one has thought to make a sports car centered around a hybrid system. But logically, electric motors are capable of producing plentiful servings of torque, meaning faster acceleration. After all, many trains have been powered by electric motors, and those things need a lot of power to get them going.

The Toyota FT-HS concept combines a high-output V6 and an electric motor to produce an anticipated 400 horsepower, capable of launching the car to 60 mph in the 4-second range.These numbers are about what anyone would expect from the revived name of Supra, not a Celica. Stay tuned, and get ready for hybrid supercars, because they're on their way.

Thanks for reading.
