Toyota's Hybrid Supra Successor to Launch in 2011

Toyota's Hybrid Supra Successor to Launch in 2011
Hold on, the next supra will be a hybrid?!?I love the original supra- because it was a car with a lot of potential, but potential you had to unlock yourself- this is like the supra, minus the heart- the new GT-R is more "tune- able", nice one Toyota, now even green peace can be "pimpin", too bad for us fans though... Interesting look, not bad though. I think it will grow on me. With it being hybrid too, what's it going to weigh in at? The last model was about 3450lbs if I am correct. I hope they keep it under 3400. While details are still limited, several sources are suggesting the rear-wheel drive sports car will be offered with a 3.5-liter V6 and the Lexus GS450h's 2GR-VSE 3.5-liter V6 which will be paired with the Toyota's Crown hybrid system. While the current 3.5-liter V6 only produces 268 hp and 248 lb-ft or torque, the Crown's hybrid system could enable the Lexus' V6 to produce more than 400 hp.
We could see a thinly veiled concept appear at this year's Tokyo Motor Show, but the production model isn't expected to be unveiled until next year.

Roewe N1 Concept Sketch 2011

Roewe N1 Concept Sketch 2009
You meant the MG6 Concept -- MG Rover died several years ago and SAIC/NAC has no rights to the Rover name, hence them inventing Roewe. I think the Rover name is owned by Ford, although there is a chane it was sold to Tata with JLR.
Although virtually no information exists on the upcoming concept, there is speculation that the N1 is essentially a Roewe version of the MG Rover MG6 Concept (both brands are owned by the Shanghai Automotive Industry Corporation) which will also debut at the show. If the speculation turns out to be correct, the N1 will most likely be based off the Roewe 550 and feature a turbocharged four-cylinder 1.8-liter petrol engine.
More information should be released later this week, so stay tuned for more details.
