I wonder if they lied about the horse power as much as they did on the old one. So actually has quite a lot more

Dollars will be pounds with VAT.

@Gibbo Just noticed you need to update your sig mate.

Uncle_Gravy · 13 Jul 2018 at 11:46

Yep, it still looks ugly as sin.

Nasher · 13 Jul 2018 at 11:51

At least BMW didn't design the bodywork or it definitely would be ugly!

Zeed · 13 Jul 2018 at 11:52

I freaking love it. If I could afford one I'd put deposit down ASAP. !!! Totally My size and line of a car !!!

Its like GT86 and MX5 RF had unprotected sex and this came out

4-cylinder engine option on the cards apparently:

Road & Track web editor Chris Perkins had the chance to speak with Supra chief engineer Testsuya Tada at the Goodwood Festival of Speed a few days ago, and the Toyota employee confirmed that there will indeed be a four-cylinder Supra. Tada also elaborated, saying the four-cylinder Supra will be lighter, with "much better weight distribution" and a sharper-feeling turn-in. Tada also remarked that, for the Supra owners who plan to swap in a 2JZ engine, "please buy the four-cylinder. It will be cheaper."

Interesting. I'm sure most people would elect to go for the big hairy chested 6-cylinder, but having the choice to go for a slightly cheaper (and perhaps nimbler) version sounds like a smart move. Would like to see how that pans out, given that the car is fairly heavy (~1500Kgs, I think?).

Doubt it as that was done by others due to regulation at the time iirc.

It was a gentleman's agreement between Honda, Nissan and Toyota to limit cars to '276HP' but many unofficially had over 300HP.

Latest renders attempting to decamo the car. Really liking this!

sigma · 23 Jul 2018 at 14:00

The above looks slightly awkward but no doubt functional.

MooMoo444 · 23 Jul 2018 at 14:07

That looks bad.

glenimp617 · 23 Jul 2018 at 14:07

Like a TVR....only ugly

Nasher · 23 Jul 2018 at 14:08

I'm not that sold on the roof design.

Looks like someone stood on it

Drollic · 23 Jul 2018 at 14:24

Looks great.

Conscript · 23 Jul 2018 at 14:44

I'm...not sure. I think it looks pretty good! It's got some of the Ft-1 concept about it, which looked stunning. But I can see how it looks a little awkward from some angles.
But it's just a speculative render, I'd like to see the real thing.

Uncle_Gravy · 23 Jul 2018 at 14:51

Nope, still don't like it, it's just an ugly looking thing, crash it into a wall or something it'll probably look better.

It looks like they took a GT86, slapped a bigger engine in it, then proceeded to do multiple donuts in Halfords and asked them for the WeFit service to install a 12inch sub in the boot.

love it.
