The Rumor Thread - 2017 debut of the Supra and more details

[Craigy]

To me, the MKV feels like the road version of the TS050

Would be called a MkII GT-One not a MkV Supra.

what i mean is, they're both using a TTV6, they have the same hybrid tech, it's awesome

If the new Supra had the hybrid system and also had a combined 986 horsepower like TS050 I'd also be excited.

Bump.

Interested to see if any of this holds true as time gets closer.

Well Dave from Toyota... your time of judgement is looming. T-minus 2 days

I wouldn't hold your breath lol

Yup. There hasn't been a v6 rumor in a long time now. I'm sure we'll get some kind of DSG\dual clutch option, but its pretty much looking like all BMW drivetrain at this point. So torn on that one. I want it to be an inline 6 so bad, but if this thing is pure BMW with just a Toyota reskin, it will be an interesting car, but not a real Supra successor in any way for me. Hopefully we'll get some official drivetrain info tomorrow.

If Dave is wrong, there might be some hope for the new Land Cruiser.

The only way the Supra get north of 400HP is by including the M powertrain. Currently the S55/S58 engines meet those specs. 3.0 liter twin turbo. Clearly it could be a modified version on the current set of engines. But so far the word around is the B58 Engine well below 400HP

Not if they replace the torque converter with a 57hp electric motor - as this is an option for the ZF8 trans.

I am sure that BMW have supplied Toyota with a 340hp B58. What Toyota do with it, who knows. I'm taking 340hp with a grain of salt until we hear further information.

 

[MotorFF]

I'd be shocked if they engine is a pure run of the mill B48/B58. It will be like it was for the 86/BRZ - joint development, with Toyota bits and pieces integrated into the powerplant and off course with the Toyota engineering seal of approval.

Turns out Dave was full of sh*t!

 

[Lexusisf]

Not surprised...
