New Toyota Supra shown to EU dealers!

[Spilner]

Take the old red car, remove the airinlets on the side of the bumper and add the LED headlights. The headlight shape is more like on the old red car. Car had smaller wheels and was a lot higher in right height. The Splitter was not straight. That’s all I can say. The Louvres are there. The car looks bulkier and rounder on the fenders. As I said, The car is pretty spot on on the old red scatch. That’s it and that’s al I can say. Sorry I can’t help you more.

being a GT car, the bulkiness makes sense

so, after being fairly surprised/doubtful in regards to all of this and discussing it with Guff I finally got some confirmation on the ERM reveal from my internal sources... turns out the Supra was indeed shown, but it was a concept without the latest changes and most of the details as far as options, bumpers, and power level are still being developed with BMW. apparently this was done to judge dealership reactions to the car overall, be it complaints or praise.

some sort of public reveal is expected soon, but I didnt receive any dates. I was also told this sort of reveal is typically done on a new model like this one 12-18 months before production begins.

Hopefully we'll see it in a few months at Detroit.

Hopefully we'll see it in *one and a half* months at Detroit.

FIFY

Really? It looks relatively low sitting next to the 3 series.

Oh, forgot to add, 4cyl option has not been dropped and is still being tested. Apparently if there is a hybrid version of the car (this is not being developed now but may in the future) they will use the 4cyl as the base, so if nothing else it's still being developed.

What I didn't like hearing was that the current 6cyl test mules are all running "paddles," whether that means DCT or ZF8 I'm not sure. None of them are manual right now though, and it seems the one manual car is 4cyl.

Even more information since today is a day of days...

The car weighs under 2900lbs and does indeed have 340hp in non GRMN guise. That's all you're getting out of me today lol. I'm amazed I even got that much honestly.

Under 2900 would be insanely impressive! I was passingly told something about 3100 being an overestimation, but I didn't think much of it. Perhaps I should pay more attention...

It's pretty crazy... Now it makes sense how it's able to keep up with the Cayman GTS.

That GRMN car is gonna be insane.

>less than 1200kg
>Toyota Reliability

The MKV is gonna be a MONSTER

yeah, can you imagine what the GRMN car might be capable of... I heard it may actually be north of 385hp with a few CF body parts.

what if we see a ~2700lb car with 400hp? O___O
