If rumours are anything to go by, the next-gen Toyota Supra might go all-electric. Moreover, the Mk6 Supra will ditch the BMW-collaboration straight-six engine after 2025 for an electric powertrain based on the Japanese carmaker’s e-TNGA platform.

The sixth-gen Supra in most likeliness will retain an RWD layout with motors mounted on the rear axle supported by the e-TNGA underpinnings. There’s no official word from the carmaker but with competition like Nissan’s GT-R and Alpine’s upcoming sports car are expected to be EVs, the next Supra might also go the zero-emission way.

Before the EV replacement arrives, the A90 Supra will reportedly get a high-performance GRMN version with twin-turbocharging and a Nurburgring lap time. If it will be the swansong of the current Supra, the power output is expected to be more than 550bhp. But before jumping ship to complete EV, a step towards a hybrid powertrain seems more logical. But at this point, the Supra EV is as real as Loch Ness Monster.
