What are the chances on Android Auto? This was one of the few things I was really hoping for but all my hopes have diminished as BMW doesn't do Android...

A70TTR · Aug 28, 2019

I'd say very unlikely at this point as it is BMW infotainment in every way.

If it was Toyota, you'd likely see it already or at least next model year.

Any chance of a flatter hood like how the GT350 hood is flatter than the standard Mustang?
When viewing the Supra from the side, the hood is almost as thick as the quarter panel.

When asked why a manual version of the A90 Supra is not available yet, given the mechanically related BMW Z4 is available with a six-speed unit, Mr Tada said it is a case of maintaining demand after three-pedal enthusiasts sample the sportscar’s automatic transmission (AT).

“The biggest reason why we didn’t actually produce a manual is that I would like the customer to firstly feel the new-generation automatic transmission,” he said.

“At the moment, the customer’s saying manual before even trying, but if they drive the AT, then I’d like to talk to them after. The technology, the performance is greater ... and with software updates, it will improve more.

“The higher priority goes to the customer’s demands. If we are still receiving a lot of requests after they try new-generation AT, we’ll think about it.”

Mr Tada used Chevrolet’s Corvette as an example, pointing out that manual variants of its C7 series only accounted for 10 to 15 per cent of sales, with the US brand also deciding to move to an automatic-only line-up for the recently revealed C8 model.

Tada is saying "don't knock it before you try it"?

"Spend $60k and see how you like it. If you don't like it, let us know and maybe we'll make another one you can spend another $60k on."

Correction: We’ll think about making another.

Toyota is still not satisfied with the manual options they have been presented with. Unlike BMW, Toyota won't just put whatever is in the parts bin just so a manual is available. I can almost guarantee you that if a "run of the mill" BMW transmission is used on the A90, that anyone running a down-pipe and tune will quickly make mush of the gears. I'm sure their rigorous tests have proven this

I'm starting to think that Toyota wants a manual that is better than the V160

A70TTR · Sep 10, 2019

They would probably be fine with a V160 or a modern rendition there of if they didn't piss off Getrag so bad. But that said, you always try to improve versus going backwards.

I love my V160, getrag killed it on that one. I doubt there is a modern equivalent to this day. I dont think the new supra necessarily needs one that good but if they did get it close that would be awesome.

T56 Magnum or TR6060 is almost the same as the V160 internally from a design perspective.

30mm FW gears, 75mm centre distance, triple synchro. Both rated to 450Nm.

Only interested if it comes in manual?

Yes - must have manual

No - the auto is what I want
