Too funny...

This is what the gt86 community wanted so bad. This would be a great option too but I couldn't downgrade from my current I6TT for a I4T. I'd want another I6.I've always wanted an S15, so I could see going for an I4 turbo 6spd.
same here, and i also feel you on the traffic part. for me Houston ranks 11th for worst traffic in the US.I voted for the auto, believing it will be the ZF8.
Its actually a great gearbox, and from what i know the torque converter is only used for 1 and 2. gear.
After that it can lock the converter, and if programmed correctly is just as fast as a DCT.
I like the DCT on my Evo X, but slow driving/traffic is certainly not optimal...
I would have preordered the car had it been 4cyl turbo or even an outdated 250hp V6 lol... Alas, I guess what I really wanted was a RWD Celica.This is what the gt86 community wanted so bad.

I am having exactly the same thoughts , you are in my mind about those cars , both the s15 and the 86 or rwd celica.I would have preordered the car had it been 4cyl turbo or even an outdated 250hp V6 lol... Alas, I guess what I really wanted was a RWD Celica.
I really hope all of these are optional. Especially the Alexa stuff. Otherwise it'll be a bunch of modding to get rid of them.This is an expensive modern Toyota, so there's a touchscreen, blind spot monitoring, an HUD, and a backup camera.
Nifty touches like a dragster-style LED strip for shifting on the top of the steering wheel.
A voice control system co-developed with Amazon Alexa. (This is true, but not sure if will be on the Supra.)
is this some sort of wishlist..? otherwise you'll be very disappointed lol. As A70 said, what is coming shouldn't be a surprise at this point...we've already hashed out the motor & trans probabilities, certainly isn't a V6 or DCT..Hi everyone!
From what I've collected from all over the interwebz and some of my own predictions (in bold in case you don't trust me):
It'll be running forced induction (1 or 2 turbos) on a 6-cylinder (maybe an inline-6, but probably not) interlaced with a KERS system.
Pump about 400 bhp and 390 lb-ft of torque (estimated from Toyota's other V-6's)
Cost $45-50k at base price, with options pushing that over $60k (if I know Toyota correctly lol)
Front-engine, RWD drivetrain setup.
Paddle shifters and 7 gears on a dual-clutch automatic gearbox.
Have a medium-sized active rear wing.
Wear a front end more rounded than the FT-1 concept's (homage to the MKIV).
Have a good amount of weight-saving, so expect carbon fibre and Alcantara.
Maybe a targa top? Unlikely, though.
