An interesting concept car... at least a good base to start with for a road car. The show car has no engine apparently.

There's rumors of a new 5.0L Lexus GS coming (probably using a new turbocharged version of the 5.0L 2UR-GSE that the IS F does) and this being a real Corvette fighter, it could slot that crazy-for-Toyota mill in there. But at this price point I'm going to guess that we see first a normally aspirated 3.5L 2GR-FSE and then an all-new twin-turbo V6 variant.
Totally my personal fantasy, I haven't read anything about the existence of such a motor.
They can't price it too high or it'll just compete with the RC-F.

Right -- from Kch's link:
For Alex Shen, studio chief designer at Toyota's Calty Design Research in Newport Beach, California, the words describing the sports car's styling concept came first -- words like "sexy," "honest," "organic," "kick-ass." Followed by proportions -- front/mid-engine, rear drive, just the right scale. And a wild guess at price -- maybe $60,000? "It's a Toyota," says Shen. "It ought to be affordable."
to me it honestly looks like an LFA with a McLaren SLResqe body kit..
The side and rear profile are nice but the front is hideous.
Profile is , back end is , front end is , IMO.
Whoomah!
At the risk of making it look too viper-ish....my first PS attempt
Now it's reminding me of the Alfa Romeo TZ3.

I have to agree with Rob. In profile view it looks great. Shades of 370z in there but the front and rear are just horrid. I want to like it but I just don't. I guess the same way I feel about the Supra itself. Amazing technology but you couldn't even give me one.
