Someone flipped the RH drive rendering, looks nice overall, but not crazy about the exhaust tips, ya wheels look to big...

^ Except the Supra won't be coming with 21" wheels and a ground clearance shared with slammed rides and race cars....

Here you go, smaller wheels and more wheel gap.

Typical BMW styling... snoozefest

All BMW look the same (a box shape with some modified lights between each model)- falling asleep.

mini M8 with hints of Z8

The 1990s called - they want their overhang back.

It doesn't look great, but the MK4 was much worst.

It looks like the Z4 will also be a 2020 year model. Bimmerpost just posted an order and price guide for the 2019s and the Z4 was not on the list.

Has there been any reports of Toyota higher ups seeing the car without all the camo and extra paneling? I guess an event somewhat like what BMW did with the Z4 with no cameras. Just curious what their thoughts on the car was

Toyota Salesman: It's got a 3JZ bro!
Customer: It says BMW on the engine.
Salesman:....

haha maybe but the salesmen should have plenty of practice by now selling a Subaru engined FR-S/86

 

[2JZ-No-Sh*t]

It looks like it has the same amount of overhang as the outgoing model.

It seems more likely to be the other way around. Notice that these people said that everything feels right, in its place, like a true Euro sports GT. And with that, the Supra has the iDrive screen, and a ZF transmission stick, stuff borrowed from the BMW parts bin.
It could still be a Toyota original design, thinking back to the FT-1, and it could include quite a few "Toyota" features.
Look what happened to the Toyobaru Three. The BRZ and the FR-S were almost the exact same, apart from a few UI changes in the touchscreen interface and different badging. Then Toyota took the idea their own way, making an in-house inline-4 for it and all, while Subaru stuck with the original idea (apparently they had done most of the design work) and changed up their taillights and other minor changes.
That's just me, though, and I could be wrong with my facts.

lol what did I just read...what inline 4..?

The Subaru & Toyota project had a totally different result, they decided to only make ONE shared car from a clean slate, there is absolutely no major difference between badging and front bumper styling.. Toyota & BMW are doing something a little different here, this has been more akin to the Miata/124 Spider collaboration but with even more differentiation..

pretty sure the Toyota dealer association meeting that was mentioned about a month ago had some images shown to the attendees but like it matters, at this point with all the recent renderings think everyone has an idea about its design

[Captain_Kirk]

Doesn't Toyota also have to file a design patent? If so, where can we find it at?

Maybe @A70TTR knows?

 

[A70TTR]

not sure, but companies can delay publication of patents in certain cases.

look up Apple's patents for a good example of this.

 

[Patchaaron]

If the Z4 render done by them was pretty much dead on... it shouldn't be far off on the Supra.

im betting the vents will be more along these lines. I still have doubts about that panel vent. I've been beating this horse for a while though... TOYOTA GIVE US SOME NEW INFO... plz

 

[Prius_F_Sport]

Hmm... car manufacturers combining with Japanese manufacturers to become more competitive... hmm... Nova, Escort, FR-S, Z5... could be more...
