If those two toners turn out to be the OEM wheels I'd use them for winter rubber, get something nicer.

LOLZ

Good question - not according to Wikipedia. Would it be feasible for Toyota to take the block from say a B58 and do a NA build from it? Another point here - even if there is an NA version that goes to production, that doesn't mean we'll see it in North America necessarily - there has been...

Great for those of us not looking for a mini-supercar, but a reasonable upgrade from the GT 86. Not exactly news though: this was covered in the Forbes Tada interview article of March 20: "The car you see here looks radical and racy because it’s covered in racing aeroparts. But the road-going...

Maybe I don't spend enough time staring at wheel shots of ZR1s and Pagani Huayras, those front calipers look very substantial to me.

They would look much better as either all-black or all-silver rims. As is they belong on a Hasbro toy, or on deep discount at Pep Boys.

Auto Bild is full of it. Cars that cost 40k Euros in Germany are usually in the 30s in the States. With 450 hp? Wishful thinking, no effing way.

Or the weight. GT3 class cars are hundreds of pounds lighter than production. Consider: Porsche 911 GT3 Cup car: 2645 lbs. Porsche 911 (base model): 3153 lbs. Difference: 508 lbs.

Toyota's produced some real groaners lately from their styling studios (e.g. see 2 trims of the hideous new dental-dammed Avalon below - :puke:). They need to do a much better job sweating the details on the Supra.

Meh, not a fan of the sharp-angled speedometer and tach layout in that display. I see why they have gone for that shape as it echoes shapes seen elsewhere in the cabin, but round dials just look classier in everything short of a Lambo.

Gross HP is not the best comparison metric, it's misleading as it doesn't take vehicle weight into account. If the Supra does come in at ~2900lbs and 350hp, it's relative weight/power ratio will be respectable. And being several hundred pounds lighter than most of its competitors will give it a...

That's quite a lot of front overhang for a RWD car this size, four inches less would have looked better. Maybe a few less at the back as well. Or they should have gone with a longer wheelbase for this body length. The long overhangs give the car a slightly dated look.

^Nice! I can't see any render being significantly more accurate before the reveal.

You need to do a little reading up here...

They're big, but that's a price worth paying to improve rearward visibility, which is inherently terrible in any car with this form factor.

Refresh? That'll be when, 2025?

I like your list as requirements for the new car, but from what we know already, the "practical" bit is history - the car is smaller than the MkIV, and in photos the hatch storage looks to be no better than that of the 370Z. Some may feel that at 330-350 hp the high-powered aspect will be...

Was thinking 370Z but don't want an orphaned car (per above news). Upcoming refreshed MX-5 with its 17% horsepower jump may be a go if Supra is too Corvette-like and expensive.

^ Probably. There was a piece some time ago on Jalopnik or TTAC about why those black borders are needed from a manufacturing standpoint, but why do they have to be so much bigger for the back windows? Fail.

Forbes is reporting that a 8 speed DCT is likely according to their "close to Toyota" sources.
