Toyota Just Trademarked The Supra Name In Europe, And Now The Car World's Losing Its Mind
The last Supra came at a golden age for Japanese sports cars. An age that saw many greats that were eventually discontinued and never replaced. Dare we dream that the Supra name ends up being one of the few to return? That’s been what we’ve been hoping ever since Toyota revealed its stunning FT-1 concept (above), and this latest piece of news makes us wonder if all that finger crossing might not have been in vain after all.
The latest update is thanks to SupraMkV.com, where an administrator spotted that the Japanese company has trademarked the name ‘Toyota Supra’ with the European Union Intellectual Property Office in Iceland. Now, manufacturers do trademark things from time to time which amount to nothing, but this is a very good sign indeed.
It’s anticipated that the Supra name is being revived for Toyota’s side of a joint sports car venture with BMW, a car which could end up using the all-new platform debuted on the Lexus LC500.

just pls no hybrid rap
I don’t really see the reason for it to go hybrid if it’s getting an equivalent level of performance.
Doný get your hopes up too much, this will make the dissapointment greater if they won’t use it. Or make a Supra.
When i read the news about this…
Dear Japan…. Please, please PLEASE keep this good news coming. Much love. A JDM enthusiast xx
