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 insiders say that the brand is readying a sports car concept for Detroit that has been designed by the company's Calty Design Research center in California.

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. With the global economy and Japanese economy improving, it might be the chance to try again.
