have been circulating nearly since production of the original car stopped, but Toyota may finally be bringing back one of its most famous models in the guise of a concept at the North American International Motor Show in Detroit in January.

Toyota nearly brought the Supra back in 2007 when it showed the FT-HS concept, which was also designed at Calty, but then the global economy went into recession and a 400hp hybrid sports coupe did not make as much financial sense.
