it looks as though my initial thoughts of it being 5x120 were not correct... cross referencing some other information confirmed this.

thanks for the info!
If true, I wonder why they would choose a 5x112 pattern (VW/Audi/Merc) when BMW have 5x120 and Toyota have both 5x100 (GT86 bolt pattern - plenty options due to the popularity of the twins) and 5x114.3...?

I believe BMW is transitioning to 5x112, likely because they are hateful bastards.

Remember, the Z4 isn't being tuned by the M division last I checked, if it were I doubt the SPX would have beat it so badly on SPA nor would they have needed Tada's input.
is that saying no one outside the M division of the ultimate driving machine corp can provide similar insight to tada? sounds a bit odd unless bmw has really changed

from that discussion, it was made apparent that the BMW engineers were pretty lost in terms of priorities; that's probably why their car was slower.

according to industry folks, it saves a bunch of money overall by reducing weight.

to which I say, NEIN, das ist scheisse!

I've never driven a non-M (or M Sport) that felt like something I would consider "the ultimate driving machine".

Actually, I take that back. The older cars were worthy of that label. E30s, E34s, etc. I don't feel it in the newer cars though.

My latest design based on the test car details and exact proportions.
In gunmetal grey exterior / tobacco interior.

That looks barely bigger than a Miata. Hopefully it has some more sizable presence than this.

I took the car from the latest spy shots and rendered it in the photo. Unfortunately it is small as it is the same platform as the BMW Z4.
You can clearly see this in the recent photos during the snow testing by comparing the size of the driver in the car.
Its not the GT-sized coupe we all hoped for few years back....

I think we all thought the car was going to be a GT car like past supras. It is about the size of the cayman ( give or take ) so it is very small unfortunately ..

It seems like the more powerful GT86 everyone was begging for. Not saying that's a good or bad thing for the Supra nameplate but they can't please everybody.

The problem is that all of the existing supras mk1 to mk4 are all gran tourers and not sports cars like the cayman or the very light alpine A110. If they want to make a competitor for these cars it is fine by me , but the car is not a supra . It is a marketing trick if they call it a supra , it is like the eclipse cross mitsubishi made , they are completetly changing what he car is but are relying to get some customers by just brining up a past succesful name . Ok the supra is not a such dramatic difference GT-> sports car but the point is still the same i believe.

Toyota no doubt came to the conclusion on the basis of their marketing research that they'd have a very uphill battle marketing a bigger, more luxurious and powerful Supra GT against the many existing well-established alternatives (e.g. 911, F type, AMG GT) and instead are aiming for a nearly unoccupied market niche - mid priced ($40-55k), relatively small and light sportscars.

Man, hope they do something about that front bumper frown.
If I get one (manual transmission being the main deciding factor), I would try to rig an older Toyota bumper to the front of the car.

Technically, we don't even know if it's called "Supra" yet. Might be called Celica or 3000GT for all we know. Or just GT-1 as could be implied from the codename.
