Thats what would I like to know, what are the different trims, what ia in each, and when are they available, for ex. Intially just a basic trim, lower hp, non cf roof...Asked about the composite roof, and apparently that has been reserved for something above the base car... The reason I asked was Tada said in an interview that the car was composed of only steel and aluminum which runs contrary to something he told me in the past.
So either the carbon top couldn't meet safety regs or it's going to be on the higher trim like the RC-F carbon package.
Is the new Supra supposed to be in the level on a GTR??
"Heaving aside the street drag race credits, if you really boil it down to stock vs stock, the two cars are very different in approach and focus this time.
The GT-R is a heavy-weight monster with big power, meats of tires, and sophisticated electronics to govern all that in mad science art, and that is how it gets a big car hauled around a race course with speed. It depends on the digital as well as raw abundance of grip and power.
The new A90 is the sort of the car where simplicity, and lack of weight, and with just rear wheels driven is the accolade and virtue. The expense is in the honing of details and use of advanced materials to reduce weights and refine the mechanical analog part of the car.
Produces the same lap time, with more efficiency and less consumables taken, and with more freedom for the drivers to choose lines and apexes.
One could say that the A90 is leaning more european in approach, while the GTR is more American, optimized for what performance car buyers tend to see in cars? Maybe.
There is only really preference."
Toyota is also testing at the Toyota's Hokkaido Shibetsu Test Area to keep the final A90 away from the public.

the -3450lb- Focus RS does 0-60 in 4.6s and 13.4 for the 1/4mile, this will not "destroy" the supra in any possible comparison. the RS needs at least 400HP to have same perf/lbs ratio.Although light and 350 hp seems fast, it is fast .... In today's world Really Fast European cars are Mclaren, Ferrari, Jaguar, PORSCHE or any VW variable IN BETWEEN 500hp and or over.
A Focus RS, TT RS, will destroy a 350 Supra Anytime
^_^.....have had a Silver '11 EVO X MR since it was new, 110k kms on the odo now....all sorts of mods to make it killer AutoX machine.You sure never driven a 4WD rallie car
The focus based on a rear traction will destroy a the BASE 350hp supra any time on a track
Let the newcomer dream and believe the RS is a better or more fun car cause specs apparently is the final answer on a car.^_^.....have had a Silver '11 EVO X MR since it was new, 110k kms on the odo now....all sorts of mods to make it killer AutoX machine.

TT RS (3277lbs) is more inline with 3.4/11.9 respectively. albeit being 150lbs heavier AND lacking in torque (354lbs vs rumored 390lbs for the A90).
finally...... McLaren...Ferrari? wtf?
It's actually an old tale. In 1986 a Ford Mustang 5.0 (4.9L V8, 200 hp, 265 ft-lb, 3000 lb) MSRP was about the same or less than an AE86 Corolla GT-S (1.6L L4, 112hp, 97 ft-lb, 2350 lb).Let the newcomer dream and believe the RS is a better or more fun car cause specs apparently is the final answer on a car.
Just like people saying why get miata/86 when I get a mustang with so and so hp for same price?
The purpose of the car went over their heads.
Btw the new supra reportedly did a 7:40 ring time. Might wanna check the times of those other cars listed...McLaren...Ferrari? wtf?
Race Track: Time will prove how a 350 supra will get smashed by any Amg A class, Focus RS, TT RS, next WRX STI...
Yes, I spoke about Fun MIATA MIATALet the newcomer dream and believe the RS is a better or more fun car cause specs apparently is the final answer on a car.
