I know A70 is an insider. I know. If you think that there is no purpose to me bringing up price, power and competition then think again. He is not the only insider on this board. Toyota knows what the supra is already. I dont underestimate them that they have been in development for years.
But...
So, can you provide any evidence for 2,900lbs because that is substantial. Reference it.
Where did I put people's opinion under mine? I provided logical evidence with my argument. Are you mad because I am trying to fight for a better supra?
It looks more like a 718/cayman Fighter than the 911.
BMW M2 $54,000 ------------------------------------- 3,450 lbs
BMW M3 $66,500 ------------------------------------- 3,540 lbs
BMW M4 $68,700 ------------------------------------- 3,530 – 4,055 lbs
Porsche Cayman $55,000...
Do people expect the supra to be better than the past? Well, yeah..
Their partnership with BMW is suppose to "cut cost." If they are building the supra on cheap (similar to the Ft86/BRZ) and charging $$$, who is profiting more? The customer who bought the Supra right? HAHAHA Delusional. Their...
If it is "not a cheap" car and it is below the anticipated powerband (330 + 37overboost what ever the fuck that is), Im out.
Toyota will be stupid enough to position itself in a high price bracket offering low power. Have you seen what other manufacturer's are offering?
Put in a compare and...
" more powerful version with hybrid technology, possibly badged GRMN, is also expected."
You heard it here first. Fire. It will catch on fire. Like the NSX, Ferrari, and 918.
Nissan saw flaws in the prototype (2000GT's power plant - 2 Cylinder straight 4) Im sure their engineer's brought it up to the Yamaha team. However, Yamaha decided to stick with their prototype and take it to their rivals...namely, Toyota. What came to fruition? The Toyota 2000GT.
This was the...
Nissan 370Z is +30k atm the moment.
If they are promising +400hp compared to toyota's 3XX +37Hp overbooost, supra is being beaten unless it weighs like a feather.
In today's market, I am unsure if the new supra comes close to the GTR.
@A70TTR how does toyota plan to stay competitive against nissan given they outclass the supra in the price and power aspect? Any changes do you see of?
Did he (or some other member) also say something along the lines of production version displayed at the New York Auto Show (they said they had credible sources)?
Logically, automakers would present the production vehicle to auto shows months in advance prior to production. If production were...
misleading. More like Road version displayed during fall. Dont get your hopes up. A lot of fans have been waiting and surely enough will be disappointed
