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.

Still prefer to get a LFA instead.
I’m not excited at all! As a die hard Mk4 Supra fan I can already tell you that this will not be as legendary as the Mk4 it won’t have an extremely tuner friendly engine and it’s not what you would call pretty. This will just send Mk4 prices skyrocketing and people like me who want to buy one hopeless. :(
People hating on R35
when r32 was launched, it de_stroyed every single goddamn car on the market
r33 came, the age of supercars de_stroyed the r33
r34 came, and it fell into a lower grade
nissan wants to de_stroy ppl
they built op car
they de_stroyed people again
And that is why I like the R35 more than the R34 and R33
Yaaaaassssss!!!!!!
Hopefully it has an inline six
right, if it has anything but an I-6, I’ll scream! But hopefully this is the BMW joint sports car and BMW means I-6
Now they just need 2 bring back a new Fiero. This time with some real performance
Every car guy at the moment
Oh God yes!!!
Now people seem to not hate anyone who says “I love the Toyota Supra!”, throwback to like a couple months back when loving the Supra was a sin because of how much it had to be modified to be fast.
It will come back.. and when it does, it will be a hybrid, with a camry drive train FWD and a CVT because that is what Toyota Does..
