It is called the Volta and has a rear engine v6 hybrid power plant.

"Rec suspension ' RX400h ' (in Japan the Toyota ' harrier ' hybrid) the super sport which loads the hybrid power plant onto the carbon fiber make chassis is ' アレサンドロボルタ'.

As for Volta the Italian physicist who invents the electric battery, unit "volt/bolt" of voltage is associated with that name."

The Volta uses a simular 3.3 liter V6 hybrid system that will be used in the upcoming Lexus RX400h. It is said to produce somewhere in the neighborhood of 400hp and will go 0-60 in about 4 seconds with a top speed exceeding 160 mph. The amazing part is that it will do this while still achieving about 30 mpg. It is 169 inches long and 79 inches wide, which actually enough to hold three people across.

Here is the link where I got the info.

there is going to be no 2005 06 07 08 none of the new supras that rumors have been going around about... i called the hotline (1-800-go-toyota) and asked them and they said that there were no plans.

Toyota premiered the Volta this week at the Geneva Auto Show. It was designed by Italdesign-Guigiaro, which explains its similarity to a Lamborghini with the vertical doors. One article I read said that there is a slight possibility that it could make production for 2007. Here is the link for some of the pictures from the Geneva Auto Show:

Arpus.... seriously man..... I thought you said you changed and know more since you were "supra dude". Everyone knows its a volta, and we all know it's lame. Ontop of that your not contributing anything to this post or any others, other than your opinion which isn't helping anyone. Do you think anyone at Toyota is going to tell you or anyone else anything? Especially before they tell... say... Motorweek or Car & Driver or someone important who can spread the word and market the car.

[arpus]

well, i never did think of that, but why would they have the hotline if they didnt want to tell...?

[suprachica779]

They have a hotline for good questions like "I feel the transmission slipping, what can I do to fix it?" not questons like, "So yea, is there gunna be another supra like ever man?! Cuz that would be totally sweet dude!"
