However, according to a report by emBest Car/em, development has continued in earnest since the a href="http://www.autoblog.com/2007/01/11/detroit-auto-show-toyotas-ft-hs-concept-in-the-flesh/"FT-HS Hybrid Sports Car Concept/a debuted at the a href="http://www.autoblog.com/tag/DetroitAutoShow/"Detroit Auto Show/a in 2007 and a prototype will supposedly begin making the rounds later this year.br /br /Although the a href="http://www.autoblog.com/2007/05/09/toyota-ft-hs-coming-in-2009/"FT-HS was originally due to arrive in 2009/a, the Toyobaru's parallel development and market conditions have pushed back the introduction of a Supra-successor until 2011. When it hits, expect two versions to be available: a traditional gas-powered model, likely fitted with a 3.5-liter V6, and a hybrid "Sports" variant packing the a href="http://www.autoblog.com/tag/GS450h/"GS450h/a's 2GR-VSE 3.5-liter V6 mated to the JDM Crown Hybrid's electric drive system and cranking out around 400 hp to the rear wheels. If emBest Car/em's report is to be believed, we could see the next iteration of the FT-HS concept at the a href="http://www.autoblog.com/tag/TokyoMotorShow/"Tokyo Motor Show/a this November, with the production model debuting sometime in 2010 before its on-sale date the following year.br /br /br /div class="postgallery"pstrongGallery: a href="http://www.autoblog.com/photos/toyota-ft-hs-concept/"Toyota FT-HS Concept/a/strong/pa href="http://www.autoblog.com/photos/toyota-ft-hs-concept/131980/"img src="http://www.blogcdn.com/www.autoblog.com/media/2007/01/toyota-ft-hs_naias---09_thumbnail.jpg" alt="" title="" //aa href="http://www.autoblog.com/photos/toyota-ft-hs-concept/131979/"img src="http://www.blogcdn.com/www.autoblog.com/media/2007/01/toyota-ft-hs_naias---14_thumbnail.jpg" alt="" title="" //aa href="http://www.autoblog.com/photos/toyota-ft-hs-concept/131978/"img src="http://www.blogcdn.com/www.autoblog.com/media/2007/01/toyota-ft-hs_naias---11_thumbnail.jpg" alt="" title="" //aa href="http://www.autoblog.com/photos/toyota-ft-hs-concept/131977/"img src="http://www.blogcdn.com/www.autoblog.com/media/2007/01/toyota-ft-hs_naias---02_thumbnail.jpg" alt="" title="" //aa href="http://www.autoblog.com/photos/toyota-ft-hs-concept/131976/"img src="http://www.blogcdn.com/www.autoblog.com/media/2007/01/toyota-ft-hs_naias---15_thumbnail.jpg" alt="" title="" //a/divbr /[Source: Best Car via a href="http://www.7tune.com/2011-hybrid-supra-successor/"7Tune/a]p style="padding:5px;background:#ddd;border:1px solid #ccc;clear:both;"a href="http://www.autoblog.com/2009/06/22/report-toyotas-hybrid-supra-successor-on-track-for-2011/"REPORT: Toyota's hybrid Supra successor on track for 2011/a originally appeared on a href="http://www.autoblog.com"Autoblog/a on Mon, 22 Jun 2009 13:28:00 EST.
