Sparking rumors continue about Toyota and its future family of sports. Will he return the legendary Celica? The future, for the moment, is uncertain in this regard.

There is no doubt that many we would be delighted that Toyota revives one of its legendary sports, one that for 35 years made history on our roads. we talk about Toyota Celica, a car that was on sale for seven generations since 1971 and 2006 and could return to our lives.

How? If you do not know yet, Toyota Y BMW formed a alliance earlier this decade that would give life to a number of sports in their respective ranges. After a new generation of roadsters of the German mark (Family “Z”) and the new Toyota Supra, the Celica could become a reality.

First the Z4, then the Supra … and then?

First things first: BMW He presented in the Frankfurt Auto Show he BMW Z4 Concept, a prototype that puts first stone for the next generation of its two-seater convertible. He Toyota Supra, in format coupé and still has not done anything official, come just after using the same platform, but not rivaling the future Z4 (or Z5?).

Once BMW and Toyota launched the first two betting, came the others. And those, as Car and Driver media have already predicted that the Toyota Celica He could return to our lives. Prototypes seen in recent years as the Toyota TF-1 Concept or the S-FR Concept They could give us some clues not only for the possible Celica, also for the Supra.

In the case of Celica, it should be remembered that his successor, Toyota GT86, It has been recently updated, so it still is here to stay. Another possibility is that “Celica” becomes a name to refer to certain sports versions Toyota cars, as is the case with the “F-Sport” family group’s premium brand, Lexus. This line does seem secure, now just need to see how it comes.

He Tokyo Motor Show, which starts on October 27, could be a marked on the calendar Toyota plans to unveil its new date. We’ll be alert.
