With the all-new Supra on the way, Toyota has decided to offer buyers a three-model sports car lineup that will meet their performance needs. The incoming Supra will be introduced as the top model, while the Toyota GT86 takes the middle spot, and a brand-new small sports car sits in the entry-level slot. Just recently, Toyota began the development process for the tiny, entry-level sports car, which will debut as a rear-wheel-drive vehicle when it's released on the market.
Toyota's chief engineer of the GT86, Tetsuya Tada, recently confirmed the news about the automaker's plan for a small sports car. He said the development process has begun, but no decisions have been made as to whether or not the sports car will be a two-seater. What we do know is that the car will serve as the little brother to the GT86 and feature the same fun driving characteristics as the popular model. It's also expected to be much lighter than the GT86; however, no specs have been released at this point in time. There is a possibility the car could end up being around the same size as the Mazda MX-5 Miata, but at the moment, this is only a speculation.
There's no word on whether the U.S. will receive the small sports car when it's released, but we have high hopes it will make it our way. We'll be on the lookout for more news about the sports car and keep you updated on its development.
