I've been told 80K for entry (drive away) AUD..... and upto 90K AUD for upper spec... 2 specs apparently... so 80K and 90K lolClearly Toyota is aiming for the new Supra to compete with the M4 type cars, and I would also expect it to be cheaper then a Lexus RC F - in Australia RC F is $150K - so it will be interesting to see where Toyota will position this model. Can't see this being a natural progression for the 86 owners though, based on the top range 86 being $38k-$40k.
BMW M2 Pure is $100K though, and I'd struggle justifying buying Toyota over this little terrier with a manual 6spd.
logically, using amortization of tooling and R&D split onto 2 vehicles, hence twice the market and sales (rather than just a Z4 or a Supra trying to make up for the engineering/production volume)... both companies can afford to sell the cars at around 50-60K AUD... maybe 70K AUD depending on exchange rates... but the marketing and segmentation will add $$$ on top...
so between a RC350 and a RCF.... for Toyota... and BMW to price it around M2 or just under for the normal Z4 as a "companion" for M2 owners or M3 owners as a convertible alternative so around 80K AUD.... and a jacked up M-badged Z4 at around 105K
