I just don’t get this from Toyota. Not enough power, not many would dare modify the first cars that are built due to reliability concerns. It will take at least a year or 2 before tested and safe aftermarket tunes and accessories will be available, then Toyota will can it due to poor sales figures and then they say there is no market for a sports car like the Supra in today’s market...I wonder why? I’m not trolling just frustrated lol.
I'd ask those questions once the full specs are officially out. I'm way too skeptical on all the info floating around the net.

So, no manual for neither BMW nor Supra? Maybe because of the transaxle which is only available as automatic? There are rumors of M8 being RWD only transaxle.
This may be just a language issue here ( I see you are posting from France), but AFAIK this car will not be getting a transaxle (which incorporates the differential and the gearbox in one physical unit). The gearbox (manual or auto) will be mounted directly to the engine.

I posted this on the other thread, but as Guff mention the wing on the new rendering looks just like the one in the teaser.

Sammy82, have you read through all the posts? I think many of us made assumptions on the final car weight and hp etc. and were disappointed by what we read, me too, but many comments have also been posted saying that much of the info is incorrect...So I am feeling pretty postive and will remain optimistic until we know the details for sure...suggest you do the same...shouldn't be too much longer in about 21 days... but who is counting ha ha...
Wasn't there talk at one point about high end models in hybrid form? Maybe they'll shock us all with an additional 100 HP and torque to the rear wheels with electric motor assist for a total of 485 HP. That would make a $60,000 price tag believable.

Not to be a downer, but that would likelylbe easily $100k and would be on par with the GTR in every sense.
Time will tell

Motor Authority:
"For the Supra, expect multiple powertrain options just like with past generations. The most potent is expected to be a hybrid setup leveraging technology used in Toyota's successful TS050 Hybrid LMP1 race car from the World Endurance Championship. It's possible we'll see a turbocharged 6-cylinder working in conjunction with one or more electric motors in a range-topping Supra"

Yeah, it's not that hard to believe tech wise, but your $60k pricepoint is WAY off for something that advanced.
