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.

YAAAYYY!!!! I LOVE ME SOME SUPRA!!!http://i.memeful.com/media/post/0MxZxzd_700wa_0.gif
Everyone is talking about cars that should be revived and I’m just here waiting for a revived Mitsubishi Galant.. (MITSUBISHI OR NISSAN DONT SCREW THIS UP)
Just please don’t make it a 100k car. I’d like to actually be able to afford one someday.
But I prefer the 1994 Supra……
The cars from the 90s are back, but I wish the mods not LOL
It only makes sense since Nissan and Honda/Acura brought back their 90s beast…now we just need the Supra and RX :)
Pls , new era for JDM cars again !

New Supra

To be fair, for some reason Peugeot still holds the Talbot trademark.
