Looks better with a few mods.

For the money it's going to sell for, there are going to be a myriad of better options available. And while it doesn't look particularly bad, it's not great either.

wait, is it RWD or AWD since it's a Mild Hybrid?

RWD.

"The engine's power is transmitted to the rear transaxle via a CFRP torque tube. In addition to a motor-generator, the transaxle integrates a newly developed 8-speed automatic transmission, which uses a wet-start clutch in place of a torque converter, and a mechanical limited-slip differential."

Save your money folks.

Maybe it looks better in person (like the Supra), but I don't care for it. It's too angular, and the hood is mile long.

I like how it looks personally.

But unless they make this $100K or less MSRP (and it isn't dealer markup'd to shit) it's more than likely going to be a flop. If it's the $200K+ that a lot are speculating, who the hell is going to pay Lambo/Ferrari/McLaren money for a V8-Hybrid Toyota?

Same feelings…also no 6MT and not pure ICE.

Hopefully the next Supra will be just as flowing looking as the A90 with the option of a 6MT, coupled with an I6 with no hybrid assistance. The 2L version can get hybrid instead

Leaning the same way. Might be different in-person. A bit to rectangular / boxy. The LFA prototype has nicer lines IMO.

I think it looks pretty sick, but most people here including myself will be saving their money by default since this will likely cost at least 3 supras.

Production would be a lot milder in appearance. Remember the MKV Supra concept?

Unless I'm misunderstanding, it's not a concept. I'm pretty sure that is the actual production car.

And the GT3 version deletes the hybrid system and battery pack altogether presumably to allow for a higher powered (and undoubtedly with higher boost pressure) and much more aggressive race tune of the V8.

GR GT Project Manager Takashi Doi said on record it will be priced like other "GT3" cars in the market.

MRSP will be around 200k+USD

this will position itself in the market as the supercar version of the HONDA prelude.

Something else I took notice of in the Japanese reviewer's video above is that he states the bore and stroke of the 4.0L V8 twin turbo is the same as the bore and stroke found in the upcoming G20E 2.0L turbo engine that will power the GR Corolla, GR MR2 and other cars.

This is just my own stretch but... if Toyota has been willing to design that four cylinder and join two of them together to form their flagship supercar V8 they might just be willing to do the same thing by joining two of their three cylinder G16E's or two of the rumored 1.5L variants (which are supposed to at minimum power the Japan only or JDM & Europe only GR Starlet rally car) together to form a new inline six engine.

One hopes.

Toyota LOVES to amortize development costs all around and killing many birds with only a few stones seems to be what they have been doing with these new performance engines so far.

They're on a roll here and going for everything they can it seems so it wouldn't surprise me. And they did emphasize the 1JZ-GTE, 2JZ-GTE and 3S-GTE in the ending of the last episode of their promotional anime series.
