unless all reports so far are wrong then this is just a slightly beefed up FRS/BRZ.
Hmmm i dunno what to think. I mean its a bimmer engine with toyota tech on it. The 335hp will probably be underrated by 40hp?
3300 is slightly heavy but if they did alfa giulia type engineering with the chassis. This may feels super fast?

On paper stats for this may not be the key.
BMW has had a hard time making a Z4 that can out class a mazda rx or a Z in terms of handling. Thats why Toyota is in the mix.
And toyota just didnt want to build a new powetful engine for their sub premium sports entry. Maybe together they can find the formula? So far the Supra Aero looks sick and may be a contributor to supercar handling... Lets see? Toyota is underwhelming but this may be the turnaround?
