You have been looking at your Hyundai too long lol Where do you see resemblances of an rx8?

Looks pretty decent.

Are we missing an upgraded engine package?

"According to our sources, the new Supra will be available with a four-cylinder engine delivering 248 hp and a six-cylinder producing around 335 hp. "

Maybe.
But I'd have guessed turbo like everything else these days.

Still, a 6 cylinder with around 330-ish HP - where have I seen numbers like that on a car before??? ;-)

Wonder if it will actually have usable torque, though.

Does anyone recall any other car that has been in testing and camo so long as this car? I think Toyota is trying to build hype so people with pent up anticipation will throw cash at them when they finally reveal it. I almost am one of those people...let's see the production car already Toyota!

Ehh.. I just hope they don’t kill the Supra... I think they might be holding out for last min changes to see what other manufacturers are coming out with.. maybe

even with a turbo, we'd be looking at the BMW 335i...2009!

I guess we are going to have to wait again lol according to this article.

Hmm. A 248 hp model would be a disaster. It's probably going weigh about a thousand lbs more than the 86, and the 45 - 50 extra hp will make it only marginally faster at best (and maybe slower...).

A 335 hp model makes sense. That means it will be on par with the current Z, and that's a reasonable aim, especially if Nissan has indeed dropped the ball on a new Z.

Basically, Toyota would pick up the lion's share of customers who wanted a new Z when one isn't available.

Holding back from Detroit seems odd to me, though. Is BMW releasing their car there? If so, maybe they didn't want the two cars being revealed at the same time?

I doubt the new Supra will weigh 3800lbs that would be a disaster in itself. I think it will weigh around the same as a Z or lighter.

Looks like a gt86 on steroids lol but I like it.

Wow that looks great even if they get somewhat close to that I think it will still look very sharp.

carlitos_370z · 12-13-2017, 05:07 AM

I like it

Blue Z34 · 12-14-2017, 07:56 AM

That looks great if true. I still have very very low hopes for the car overall though. Toyota has been a constant disappointment as a brand since the death of the original Supra. Given the rumors and everything else we know about the brand itself I don’t see that changing.

I'm still on the "this car is vaporware" train.
