Toyota FT-1 Graphite Concept

The Toyota FT-1 Graphite Concept is identical to its red counterpart with the exception of the color scheme. Like the other FT-1, the Graphite version is still considered a design study without exact engine specifications. If life imitates art in any way, future versions of the FT-1 (and perhaps a production model) could share the 485-horsepower that the virtual FT-1 sports in Gran Turismo 6. From my perspective, it seems strange to invest so much in a design study, continue to promote it, and not eventually mate it to a firm engine specification. Hey, that’s alright though– I’m content to drool.
The rumors about the Toyota FT-1 Graphite Concept and its earlier iterations are pretty exciting. This year, Toyota renewed the trademark of the Supra, a vehicle that had a cult following during its production years. It’s an interesting coincidence that Toyota would reveal the FT-1, then subtly renew the Supra name, then continue to push vehicles like the Toyota FT-1 Graphite Concept in the months that follow. My opinion? You’re looking at the next Toyota Supra, and we wouldn’t be surprised if Toyota confirms this by January 2015 at the next Detroit Auto Show.
