Weren’t you one of the guys implying the S58 would be put in the car? I can’t remember if it was you or someone else

Let’s not pull a Joy Behar and start spreading misinformation for the sake of a narrative. I’ve consistently said the updates would be minor—no massive changes like a new engine—because Toyota isn’t looking to jack up prices in this economy. The B58 is already one of the best engines out there, so there’s no reason to overhype something that isn’t happening.
See my previous comment here
I did say in the past that if Toyota could sell Supras with the S58 while ensuring profitability for both BMW and Toyota, we might potentially see the S58 in the MKV. However, that wasn’t meant as confirmation that it would actually happen. When I told everyone a manual Supra was going to be definitely available in 2022, that was meant as a confirmation….see the difference?
Also, there was at one point a “S” code inline six being tested in front of the 6spd manual years ago….but that may have been for R&D purposes, I believe I hinted at this to A70TTR in the past.

I guess the big question is what generation Celica will the Mk8 be modeled after. The RWD Mustang competitor of the A generations, the FWD/AWD T generations, or the ultra light (2400lbs) FWD of the 7th gen.
If it's RWD, it steps on the toes of the 86, if it's AWD, it competes with the GRC, and if it's FWD, no one will care, regardless of how light they can make it.

I find the GRC to be at a perfect power level for street use. Really fun to rip around in all circumstances without getting into too much trouble.

wow, sounds like it'll be a while until we see the new Supra then.The Lexus "LFR" and new Supra will not be sharing underpinnings.
Damn NHTSA FMVSS compliance.

My guess is they're trying to figure out the powertrain of the A100The Lexus "LFR" and new Supra will not be sharing underpinnings.

No surprise there unless Toyota had a $XXX,XXX price tag in mind for the A100. For affordable sake it makes more sense if it shares bones with the RC/LC replacement as reported by Japanese media.The Lexus "LFR" and new Supra will not be sharing underpinnings.

Don’t know how Toyota can be releasing 2-3 new sports cars for 2026 that will be somewhat obtainable price wise. Their basic Tacomas are sitting on lots at $50K.
The Celica and MR2 will need to be less than $60K or the GR Corolla will out sell them. An MKV equivalent will need to fall in the $60k-$70K for it to be competitive.
