The four wheel drive hybrid vehicles will feature almost the same technology – BMW petrol engine and electric motors but will be different sizes.
Of the Supra’s replacement, Kart Schlicht, Toyota Europe’s product planning head, said: “The intention with the new car is for it to sit above the GT86. It doesn’t replace that model; the GT86 goes on with its own mission.”
The new model will cost more than GBP22,495 (US$33,617), which is the price of the current GT86 in the UK, Cars.aol.co.uk reported.
The companies are considering making the new models in Europe or the US.
