Tetsuya Tada, the chief engineer on the all-new Toyota GR Supra, is the automaker's biggest advocate for reviving the fabled three-model "three brothers" sports car lineup.
With the GR Supra newly on the market and the 86 rumored to be due for refresh or replacement in the next few years, all eyes are on the mysterious third and undecided entry.
According to a recent interview with Australia's Go Auto, Tada hinted that the all-new sports car could be mid-engined.
"Fortunately, I have made two FR [front-engine, rear-wheel-drive] sports cars already," he said in reference to the 86 and GR Supra to Go Auto.
"It's much less stress if I can make it with just Toyota and not with another company," Tada continued.
