Considering the Corvette has 465 hp and close to that in torque, the similar acceleration numbers makes even the 385 hp some are saying the Supra must actually have, seem low.
Seems this journalist thought the embargo ended at 6AM. The original article was posted on their website at 6:01 AM. This is the first one with any, although minimal, driving impressions
So, if it gets factory upgrades, does this mean first year customers will have lower-powered cars, or will/can the upgrades be applied to all cars from this generation? Does he mean upgrades to the current B58?
What's worse, most of the haters never drove an actual Supra, and never will drive the new one. It won't matter if the reviews are out of this world. They are keyboard warriors, who maybe had exposure to the Supra through movies and video games, and now feel entitled to spread hate becasue they...
The reader comments on that website (Jalopnik) are so negative, and have been for as long as I have been reading. When will these keyboard warriors realize the car is here, move on, your drag the new Supra in the mud discourse has no power anymore, other than to foster negativity and hate. Get...
That may be true, but Porche doesn't under-rate engine output close to the same degree BMW does. BMW does it in the extreme among modern day car manufacturers. In fact many manufacturers do the opposite to get better standing in the numbers/marketing game.
To me it has similar curves to the RX7, similar organic shape, although the details and sharp edges definitely are not. The narrow waisted, wide at the hips and shoulders look, and greenhouse shape all are reminiscent of the RX7, although I understand the claim is that the 2000GT was an influence.
Thats fine, but with so much negative social media commentary against the new Supra from past owners, JDM guys, video gamers and keyboard warriors, you must be aware that such a comment would be taken the way it was taken. These people go out of their way to drag the new Supra down, and your...
I wish it had of been flat on the floor, I found it hard to get a good feel for the size, especially height, on that angled podium. I was there opening doors Thursday morning, no one was there so they had had to talk to me. They don't know much about it anyway, so you didn't miss much by not...
Does anyone have any idea when the first production cars might be tested by the auto mags? Like Car and Driver, Road and Track, etc. A lot will become clearer once we see these reviews, especially re. performance, and comparisons with the competion, all of which are speculation now. I really...
The blue does look a lot better than I thought from initial pictures. It looks very similar to the Supra in your profile picture. I already requested red though.
I'm just pointing out that such comments "I'm not going to lie, I'd rather have a Celica GT-4 than a Supra" are really unnecessary and likely to be contentious here. Whats gained by such a comment? It's just made to drag the Supra and those who like it into the mud. I have nothing against...
The hood panel gaps on these (presumably) production models (red and white cars above) seems much tighter than on the pre-production models we've seen so far.
Obviously, thats a matter of opinion (it looks so much better). I don't find these to be that attractive at all - porches, as a family of cars all look so similar that they end up looking alike, and there are so many of them in some areas, there is zero novelty about them. I lived in Toronto...
