Toyota leaked it will be 2018 Supra (on sale in 2017).
Common chassis with the future BMW Z4.
Common turbo BMW I6 powerplant plus electric.

I enjoyed the sight of FT-1 concept at NYAS - it looks stunning. From all angles. Even the nose.
Too bad the front-end will inevitably get reworked and to comply with modern pedestrian safety regulation.

When was it leaked? Do you have a link? I personally would love for it to be true.

From Jalopnik,
"We've reached out to Toyota, and we'll let you know if we hear back.

UPDATE: Well, that was fast. Toyota got back to us, and while we're waiting to get some sort of official in-writing response, they're holding fast to the company line, at least here in the US. It is, as of this moment, a design study only, according to a company spokesperson."
