The next generation of Toyota Supra and some interesting rumors of Lexus associated with it. A new report by CarBuzz has revealed some big news. Toyota has confirmed the MkVI Supra, and this time it is not being made with BMW. Also, Lexus can also bring its own version of this car. Let's find out what these are.
Toyota has made it clear that the MkVI Supra will come, but this time the BMW platform will not be used. The first Supra was made with the BMW Z4, but now Toyota is choosing its own way. There are rumors that Toyota can create a new platform together with another company. Some people are saying that this company can be Mazda, which is known for its inline-six engine.
There is also news that Lexus can bring a new vehicle, which will be the twin model of Supra. This car can replace the Lexus RC or LC. According to rumors from Japan, this new Lexus model can be 2+2 seats, that is, it will also have rear seats. The Supra will be a two-seater, but the Lexus version will offer more space and comfort.

The new Supra and Lexus models are expected to be powered by hybrid engines. Some say that it can use Mazda's inline-six engine, which will come with a hybrid system. On the other hand, Toyota's own turbocharged four-cylinder engine could also be an option. This engine is already used in the GR86. However, there is no information about the engine yet.
The new cars from Toyota and Lexus could also have a very different design. According to a report by CarBuzz, both the cars will sport a new and attractive look. The Supra's styling has always been sporty, and Lexus could give it a more luxurious touch. The design of both the vehicles will be such that it will attract everyone's attention on the road. It is expected to open in 2026.

A big rumor is that Toyota and Mazda can work together. Mazda is looking to bring back models like its RX-7, and may share the platform with the Supra. If this turns out to be true, we could get to see three great cars at once - the Supra, a new model of the Lexus, and a new version of the Mazda RX-7. This is great news for car lovers.
There are some concerns with every new car. If Toyota and Mazda work together, the tuning of the engine and platform may take time. At the same time, the hybrid system can make the carriage heavier, which can reduce the fun of the sports car. The price could also go up, especially for Lexus models, which already make expensive cars. But the quality of Toyota can be trusted.
