I'm kinda sadden by this news too. Not sure how to take it and quite confused tbh. I don't think the Z4 was even trying to be a 'race' car. But if that feels more aggressive than the Supra, what does it say about the Supra?

They should just make that the marketing tag line for the Supra, "Toyota Supra - Underpromise overdeliver"

I said this before in one of the threads, where I questioned if we should be taking what we see in the videos,etc of the interior (including the tachometer reading) for verbatim. If Toyota was confident in the interior they would have shown it to us. This new 'info' further proves my point...

Notice that the car in this video is some sort of blue - go to 10:31. Third colour?

"As for curb weight, Toyota says the Supra weighs less than 3,300 pounds" 3,300 translates to 1,500 kg. This was in the autoblog review.

I love the tac. I was hoping that the car would come with a giant rev tachometer and a digital speed display (just like the 86) and it has. Also, I am already falling in love with the orange colour.

"If you think so, your cheeks will loosen unintentionally" "Lower middle speed torque of 3.0 L is fairly thick" Google translate is low key perverted.

I feel like the interior for these pre-production/test models is just a standard slap on BMW spec. I don't think it represents the final at all. Judging from how the exterior design went and how it closely resembles the FT-1, I can only assume that the form of the interior would be quite similar...

Sorry if I sound ignorant, but do we know if the engine will come with the Toyota direct and port injection? Time will tell I guess?

So is it safe to say that the colours will all be BMW sourced paint?

One thing that Tada mentioned was "if the torque goes up the transmission should be able to handle it with the correct amount of plates." I think a bonus challenge for Toyota (not that it's impossible) is that they would want to engineer the transmission to handle the extra power that they have...

@Jdmuscle I feel your frustration. But at this point it doesn't matter. We will have to see how everything turns out. That's all we have got.

The seats don't look the same even though the bolstering looks similar. Also, notice that the center console looks different compared to the Z4 - a result of the FT-1 type support on the driver side. I feel the interior might look different but feel the same since the parts all "feel" BMW.

Well, I am excited that the car is coming out, but I do feel like this is dragging out quite a bit now. Maybe like you said, we will be blind sighted by a sudden torrent of info. But I just want something to go on lol.

@A70TTR Sorry if I am asking the same question, but based on your sources the possibility of a manual down the road is nil? I recall Tada san kind of/ sort of implying that a manual may be possible just not right now.

"Too many "new" Canadians on this thread....follow the rest of the sheep." Nice comeback. I guess that's the best you got with all that salt your consuming. It's ok, keep whining. Tell us sheep when your done.

@PerformanceSound Learn to show some respect. A70TTR doesn't need to be sharing this stuff with us, but he did. Atleast appreciate the effort that these guys go through to bring the forum the latest and greatest regardless of it being a fact or whatever. Honestly, no one else is stressing out...

The Z4 revealed, with the specs we more or less suspected/knew. https://www.irishtimes.com/life-and-style/motors/bmw-s-z4-sports-car-revealed-at-pebble-beach-1.3605261

Sick find Ryley. There seems to be a decent amount of space around the engine - always good I think for maintenance or upgrades. Definitely looks like the B58. I can see that the airbox and components to the left of the engine are different.
