I am just basing this on the MKIV structure as it shares an almost identical structure, however I believe the SZ-R will possible incorporate better features (eg. bigger brakes, better audio system and other additional features). Hence the difference weight, price, power etc. Pretty stupid if you ask me, it's typically been done in response to gain 3 scales of the market.
1. SZ targets people who want the absolute lowest trim (eg. people who just want a 'supra' for the lowest possible price and whom have no idea about performance, power etc).
2. SZ-R will target people based on added features (better audio, performance etc) for an average price tag.
3. RZ will target anyone who has a lot of money and wants everything including the increased power.
Now I am just basing this on how corporate people generally make decisions. Typically their primary goal is to sell as many Supra's as possible, make a shitload of cash and make their investors (which they own part of the company)... happy. All in all it's very smart and will no doubt sell a lot of units of the SZ/RZ will sell quite heavily (IMO) compared to the SZ-R.
This is generally how a public company is run - a simple money making machine. While you cannot blame them I would have preferred them to stick to their grass roots and actually be innovative for a change. For instance, take some notes from Nintendo - they impress time and time again with re-releases of new games which are now being made by the new generation of Nintendo engineers whom have been trained by the same man who made Nintendo successful in the early days *and it shows based on their latest lineup of games that have been released*.
The fact that this car has been purely re-engaged and is heavily hyped on the primary fact that it's all a numbers game in the corporate world of Toyota. Things aren't like they were once before and yes before all you MKV lovers bash me - this car does not represent a Toyota Supra in its previous generations in anyway besides being a glorified car that's been outsourced to BMW with the only similarity being that it's an inline 6.
On the other hand, kudos to the marketing team - they seem to be doing a great job advertising & paying high profile people to compliment this car. Seems like they got one thing right.
