Despite its curb weight, in 1994 the Mark IV managed a remarkable skidpad rating of 0.95 lateral g's (200 ft) or 0.98 lateral g's. (300 ft)[20] The Mark IV Supra also featured a four-sensor four-channel track tuned ABS system with yaw control whereby each caliper is sensored and the brakes are controlled individually according to the speed, angle, and pitch of the approaching corner. This unique Formula One-inspired braking system allowed the Supra Turbo to record a 70 mph (113 km/h) -0 braking distance of 149 ft (45 m),[21] the best braking performance of any production car tested in 1997 by Car and Driver magazine. This record was finally broken in 2004 by a Porsche Carrera GT, which does it in 101 ft (31 m) .
Sales to Canada ceased in 1996, and to the US in 1998. The Turbo was not available in 1998 in CARB states. Production continued in Japan until August 2002, ceasing due to restrictive emission standards.
[edit] Possible Mark-VThroughout the past couple of years, major print and online auto publications have hinted at a possible revival of the Supra, pointing the car in different directions. The vehicle was originally thought to be the flagship or halo model in the Toyota lineup, be powered by a high output V8, and have an estimated cost anywhere between US$50,000 and US$100,000. Other rumors hint at a V10 F1-inspired powerplant, like the previous generation BMW M5 and M6, though 2006 saw F1 engines change to V8s. Power is 500 bhp (373 kW; 507 PS) or more, as this was likely due to the increasing number of sightings of a high performance sports car being tested throughout Europe and, more specifically, on the Nürburgring. These vehicles turned out to be the test mules for Lexus' LF-A.[22]
Topspeed.com was among a number of publications that claimed that there would be a return of the Supra in 2008[23] but Toyota refuted the claims on August 15, 2006[citation needed]. The same publications that originally speculated on a future Supra all stated no new vehicle was being developed. According to an AutoWeek article on current and upcoming Toyota vehicles, all rumors on the Supra's return are false.[24] Automotive News also claim Toyota has absolutely no plans for a Supra in the future.[25]

The Toyota FT-HS (Future Toyota-Hybrid Sport),[26] which debuted at the 2007 North American International Auto Show, was stated to be a concept for a vehicle that could fill the gap in Toyota's line-up left by the Supra.[27] According to Automobile Magazine, Toyota was planning to launch a production version of the FT-HS in 2009.[28] A January 2009 article from Edmunds Inside Line states that "the V6 Supra replacement is still in the pipeline and is set for an early 2011 debut".[29]
Recently, Toyota presented the FT-86 Concept car,[30] a rear wheel-drive prototype car featuring a Subaru-based 2.0L engine. Jim Lentz, President and COO of Toyota Motor Sales USA, confirmed that the FT-86 will be coming to North America and that the tamat production version of the concept will not be called the Supra.[31]
Toyota has recently applied for a trademark to the Supra name. The trademark has to be used within 3 years for it to be valid.[32]
