Toyota has officially revealed the future of the Supra, but omitted the most intriguing details. | Carscoops

      The positive aspect is that you may not have to endure a 17-year wait for the next generation of the Supra sports coupe.

      The year 2026 will signify the last model year for the 382 hp Toyota GR Supra after a six-year period.

      Officials have indicated that the model may return, but the timing and details remain uncertain.

      It's possible that there will be a “significantly” shorter interval between the fifth and sixth generations of the vehicle.

      Recent years have not been favorable for sports cars, as some well-known names have either exited the market or undergone significant changes. The Chevrolet Camaro is no longer available, the Dodge Charger has transitioned to electric power, and both the Nissan GT-R and Toyota Supra seem to be facing a similarly uncertain future.

      Nonetheless, it appears that nothing is truly finished these days, and Toyota representatives are already anticipating the next Supra. While specific details are scarce, Cooper Ericksen, Senior Vice President of Product Planning and Strategy at Toyota Motor North America, recently discussed the car's future.

      In an interview with MotorTrend, Ericksen stated, “It would be logical that we would have a next-gen Supra. But when and how is still TBD [to be determined].” He noted that there will be a break between the fifth and sixth generations, but “our goal [is] to have a gap that is significantly less” than the one between the fourth and fifth generations.

      Of course, this sets a remarkably low benchmark, as there was a 17-year hiatus between the last two Supras. Such a span is extensive in the automotive industry and could have accommodated another two generations.

      The duration of this wait remains the pressing question, but Ericksen suggested it may take some time, as “we have our hands full just to keep selling our core products.” This is particularly true today, given the various new factors at play, including tariffs, politics, and the shift toward electrification.

      Ericksen further indicated a reason for the Supra's production halt, stating, “It’s just not cost-effective with all the new regulations and investments we have to make.” Sales figures may have also contributed, as the company only sold 2,615 units in the United States last year.
