[Bryster]

This engine is a high-power version of the straight-six turbo that is installed in the BMW M3 / M4.

I wouldn't be too sure about that, given this will definitely get rid of all the electronics, I expect it to be lighter

Those vents work?

Yes, they're getting opened up

Limited quantity, powerful engine. They'll be sold before you know it. I think they'll be the only ones holding value after 10 years..

Bump.

This just came out today, talking about the upcoming manual Supra and the GRMN. If this is true of the GRMN, take my money, please...

"Allegedly"

“According to the report, the Supra will get a manual gearbox starting next year. The Supra shares its platform with the BMW Z5, which offers the manual”

And that’s where their credibility went out the door.

My buddy who works for TMC said they had been working on a manual transmission for quite a bit of time, however, it didn’t meet Toyota’s strict standards of N/V/H and weight. I’m betting they will add more power to compensate for the weight gain, but I don’t know if the N/V/H will get addressed.

^^^ Surprising a manual would weigh more than an auto.

Competition models with 8-speed M Steptronic are rated 375kW / 650Nm

What is the weight difference between the manual and automatic transmissions?
The total weight reduction of the manual transmission car is -25kg compared to the 8-speed M Steptronic
