据《汽车与驾驶员》杂志引述日本媒体的报道,丰田除了将在东京车展发布新一代Supra外,预计还将推出一款卡罗拉GTI概念车以及S-FR改款车。这款车不仅将搭载186千瓦/250马力的2.0升四缸涡轮增压引擎,而且还将向人们展示下一代卡罗拉的设计方向。虽然丰田并未透露该车信息,但车厂将为卡罗拉配备TNGA平台。此外,丰田还将推出新版S-FR概念车,现在还不清楚新车与早先推出的车型有什么不同。最初的这款小型轿跑车采用前置引擎和后轮驱动。其圆润的风格很有吸引力,它的外观借鉴自上实际60年代丰田Sports800。为了让新款S-FR概念车更具吸引力,丰田让丰田86总工程师多田哲哉负责开发这款售价低于1.5万美元的车型。虽然这两款车都是传说中的车型,但新一代Supra将铁定成为东京车展的亮点。最近泄露的文件显示,量产版车型将搭载宝马提供的引擎,包括两种规格的2.0升四缸和一台3.0升直列六缸引擎。丰田还将提供自己的动力总成。
Toyota Corolla GTI Concept Rumored For Tokyo Debut
At the Tokyo Motor Show, Toyota will potentially harken back to the performance vehicles in its lineup from the 1980s and ‘90s. In addition to the concept for the new Supra, the Japanese brand will show ideas for a future Corolla GTI and a new evolution of the S-FR, according to Car and Driver citing a rumor from Japan’s Best Car.
Not only would the Corolla GTI pack a 2.0-liter turbocharged four-cylinder with around 250 horsepower (186 kilowatts), but this would also be our first good glimpse of the next-generation model’s design, according to this rumor. Toyota won’t say much about the new vehicle yet, but the company will move the Corolla to the TNGA platform.
In addition, Toyota will allegedly bring a new version of the S-FR concept. It’s not clear how this iteration would be different from the earlier one. The original was a tiny sports coupe with a front-mounted engine driving the rear wheels. The rounded styling was charming, and the shape borrowed cues from ‘60s Toyota Sports 800. To make the new concept's existence even more tantalizing, Toyota allegedly has Toyota 86 chief engineer Tetsuya Tada on the job of working out how to bring the S-FR to market for less than $15,000, according to Car and Driver.
While these two vehicles are only rumors for now, the debut of the new Supra concept should be a highlight of the Tokyo Motor Show. A leaked document indicates the production version would be available with BMW-sourced engines, including two tunes of a 2.0-liter four-cylinder and a 3.0-liter inline six. Toyota could offers its own powerplants, too.
