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.
