It just seems to me Toyota didn't take this very seriously. Why not build an all original body and use a high performance engine from Lexus? That would have made a lot more sense to me.
Companies are part sharing due to cost of Sports car R&D. I'm sure if this version replace all? The next gen will be a more toyota focused vehicle.
One of the rumors for the next gen Z is that it may be powered by Mercedes?
The vr30dett came out but the next Z may have a 4 banger base model by Benz. This is what the globalized market is doing. Not saying I like that...
Remember that the Supras b4 the MK4 were designed by lotus. So maybe the next gen Supra will have a 3jz...

I try to think positive in the sense that. Everyone is abandoning sports cars or is scared to excel in the sports Arena, like Nissan. At least Toyota got some balls back. Cuz they were What Nissan is now just a few short tears ago.

I'm just waiting for a review n hopefully a test drive before I have a full on opinion. I know that BMW 8 speed is extremely fast n smooth. I'm just hoping toyota tuning will give the 3.0L engine more sports car grunt.

Like everyone else though. A 3JZ woulda been nuts. Here's hoping for a next gen 3jz.
