UPDATE: 2028 MAZDA RX-7 AND TOYOTA SUPRA - HERE'S WHAT JAPAN IS SAYING

EV Channels Review

This video delves into Japanese automotive news, focusing on the highly anticipated return of the Mazda RX-7 and potential updates for the Toyota Supra. The RX-7 is rumored for a 2027 release, potentially as a series or parallel hybrid utilizing a new rotary engine for power generation, though the reviewer expresses a preference for a pure rotary driving experience. The Supra is also slated for a 2027 full model change, expected to be developed solely by Toyota with a hybrid powertrain delivering around 500 horsepower, and will retain its two-seater front-rear layout. The reviewer notes the Supra's potential use of a carbon fiber propeller shaft for weight reduction. Other segments cover potential new models from Toyota like the Celica, MR2, and Estima/Previa, alongside Lexus EV updates and the Starlet. The overall tone is speculative, relying heavily on predictions from 'Best Car' magazine, with the reviewer highlighting excitement for the RX-7 and Supra while expressing disappointment over the hybrid powertrain for the RX-7 and the lack of concrete details.
