If viable this thread has so much potential.

I have my Forza Supra setup on an AWD platform and it rips.

would be a straight missile, wouldn't break loose [as much?] in second

ok, i think we would need the following from a g80
transfer case
front differential
front drive shafts
awd ECU from bmw

Hopefully sooner than later someone does the conversion.

@Tada-san S58, AWD, targa. There's demand.

I would opt for an awd toyota kit rather than an option that would be fire. Diy

I’m more curious as to how you’re going to fit it and what you’re going to have to do in terms of massaging the space and the tuning aspect of getting the ecu to even recognize the b58 engine.

You'd probably need to run it on a motec

targa over everything. I’ll trade in for that

If you want all wheel drive then why would you buy a Supra.

In the works from Toyota in 2025……
They brought manual in…..

Sure, and with a 3JZ thrown in for good measure... I'm sure they'll recoup the R&D on that.

You know, this thread has made me nostalgic... I remember before release that everyone was talking about how if Toyota had produced everything (whether a "new" I6 or just a turbo V6 or NA V8 from existing options) the car would have wound up costing well over $100K and no one would buy it.

Fast forward a couple years (and a ton of inflation)... and some people are paying nearly that for this version - after markups. Sure, if they had done that - they might be going for $140K now, but it's funny how much difference a little time makes.

I feel like this Supra may even become another " icon of economic distress" much like the MKIV was in the mid 90's (although for slightly different reasons).

Id throw money at this
