In this video I can see 2 car setup. I think the comparaison between red and bleu car.
Sport setup in red and normal setup in bleue or 2 different laps?

So studying this trying to get a peek at the RPM values (which at one point peaked at 6600rpm for the red car), I noticed this

Wonder if that's something that will be made available to buyers?

Tada did say there's a system that allows you to have a ghost of what the supra can be driven by a F1 Driver I recall.

SO i imagine they would give the software to you. Whether it would be related to the ECU is uncertain

EDIT:

Also, was paying attention. Red one peaked at 6900 RPM's, which would be contary to the redline starting at 6700 and cutting the power off by 7000, and it looks like he was just about to enter the corner, so I think he was going to push way more.

I can't find the review/image of the dash off (so you can see the numbers are not digital - i watched every single review) but here's the best indication i could find :)

Imagine the indication was all fake and there was plenty more underneath not being shown so they can wow the critics and world even further?

Like, they were sandbagging the redline so no one goes further?

People have mentioned that Tada stated this would be a 'high-revving inline-6'. What interview was this in? 6700 isn't exactly high revving imo lol. That's what makes me think there's more than meets the eye here. But, I think it's more than likely wishful thinking at this point haha.

From Toyota Europe.

The legend is back
The Toyota Supra is back. Inspired by over 30 years of rich heritage, our new front-engined, rear-wheel drive sports car delivers our purest experience yet. With an exhilarating blend of power, balance and agility the new Toyota Supra offers enthusiasts the ultimate expression of driving pleasure.

Supra 900 Club
The lucky group of 900 European owners set to receive the new Toyota Supra in the first year of launch, will not only have our purest sports car at their fingertips, they’ll also be elevated into an exclusive group: Supra 900 Club.

As a Supra 900 Club member, you’ll have access to a range of special benefits, including exclusive content, personalised merchandise and a host of money-can’t-buy rewards and experiences in the build-up to the delivery of your new Toyota Supra.

Looking for a feeling like nothing else? Then this is the members-only club to join in 2019.

Focus on feeling
The development of the new Toyota Supra wasn’t driven purely by performance numbers or headline lap times, but a single-minded focus on the feeling you experience at the wheel.

Feel the power
Continuing the legacy laid down by previous generations, the new Toyota Supra’s front-mounted, in-line six-cylinder engine has all the ingredients to stimulate your senses. From exhilarating performance to a pulsating soundtrack, this world-class powerplant has one mission: to provide the ultimate in driving pleasure.

At home on road or track, our high-performance sports car delivers over 300bhp from its 3.0-litre engine. Through a twin-scroll turbocharger, high-precision, direct fuel injection and variable valve control, it grants drivers seamless power and instant response. As a result, the Toyota Supra charges to 100km/h in under five seconds and, thanks to the engine’s ultra-smooth nature, delivers precise control through the bends.

Feel the balance

Optimum weight distribution, lightweight construction, low centre of gravity: three elements that define a pure sports car – and areas which our engineers obsessed over in order to make the new Toyota Supra thrilling to drive.

This no-compromise attitude applied to a front-engined, rear-wheel drive layout ensures our two-seater coupé achieves a perfect 50:50 front-to-rear weight distribution. Due to an aluminium and steel composite frame that provides incredible rigidity and lightness, a low centre of gravity and short wheelbase, drivers can revel in confidence-inspiring stability, seemingly limitless grip and a neutral handling balance.

Feel the control

Thrilling, engaging and fun, the Toyota Supra has been designed to reward drivers of every ability. Under the skin, an electronically controlled active differential and Adaptive Variable Suspension (AVS) are at play, giving you exquisite control, precision and agility – whenever you want to play.

The electronically controlled active differential controls the amount of torque sent to each rear wheel. Drive force is distributed flexibly, so handling remains neutral throughout every stage of a corner, while hard braking and acceleration feel stable and precise. With the advanced AVS system delivering impressive comfort and control, the Toyota Supra puts a smile on drivers’ faces whether it’s a challenging racetrack or clear country road.

Born on the track
Produced by TOYOTA GAZOO Racing, the new Toyota Supra benefits from lessons learned in competition to make it a pure sports car that's in its element both on track, at the limit, or exploiting your favourite open road.

The golden ratio
By drawing on the highest level of motorsports engineering and design, the new, no-compromise Toyota Supra attains that perfect ‘golden ratio’ between wheelbase, track width and the height of its centre of gravity, for instant steering response and exceptional cornering performance.

Verry interesting :popcorn:
Something that hasn't been pointed out is if you count the markings on the analog gauge its actually pointing just above 6000 RPM and the redline is below 7000. It just doesn't add up.
