over the back fence
Speculation is something that's never in short supply in the automotive business, an observation that seems doubly true in the case of the next gen Toyota Supra. First, the
Toyota FT-HS was totally going to be it. Then someone tried to convince everyone the FT-HS was the
next generation Toyota Celica or AE86. Most recently, a Toyota exec hinted that the FT-HS could be a vision for the "
Toyota Supra of the future." Yeah, sure. Now everyone's favorite scanned Japanese automag,
BestCar, has some renderings of a very FT-HS looking Supra. Grains of salt all around. One more scan below the jump.

nuova pantera
3D artist and designer
Stefan Schulze did something we wish someone inside an actual car company would — revive the design of the Ford V8-powered De Tomaso Pantera of the 1970s. Once sold at Lincoln-Mercury dealerships, the Pantera — along with the Porsche 930 (911 Turbo) — was the symbol of vehicular sexiness for the unisex-salon-and-coke-spoon generation. Schultze's rendering revisits the Pantera shape as a modern retrospective model built atop the bones of a Lamborghini Gallardo. Lamborghini's already put the kabosh on a production version of the
Miura concept. Don't expect the "Panthera" to make it through any automaker's boardroom alive. [via
