Speaking to Evo, Toyota engineer and Gazoo Racing chief Tetsuya Tada stated that at the heart of its new sports car range will be the 'Three Brothers' which in the 90s was the name given to the trio of the Supra, Celica and the MR2.

With a new Supra, co-developed with BMW on the way and the GT86 seemingly occupying the position held by multiple versions of the Celica, Tetsuya san's words hint that a successor to the MR2 is on its way considering the fact he wants the new 'three brothers' in production together as soon as possible.
