toyota FT-1 concept (possibly next Supra)

Whoops... my estimates were off and a bit optimistic. So after killing some time on ye olde internete:

The original 1998 MSRP's allegedly ranged from $31,078.00 (base) to $38,778.00 (turbo auto).

That's a range of roughly $45,445.00 to $56,705.00 in 2014 dollars, give or take some pocket change.

Too much for the base model -- they couldn't sell it then at that price, so it will have to come down a bit.

I could see them getting a N/A 350 bhp version out around $40K and a super-wazoo boosted model nudging over $55K -- but that one will have to really fly.

On that note, the 1996 ZX was supposedly ranging from $37,439.00 to $45,579.00 (much more than the Supra!) so it is indeed possible for Toyota to follow the same path Nissan did with the Z after its hiatus and keep the bang for the buck factor high.
