Aisin, the transmission supplier, is over 30% owned by Toyota. If Toyota could utilize the Aisin AZ6 manual transmission in the 86, for sure they could do the same with the Supra. Toyota doesn’t need to utilize BMW’s transmission. They could build it themselves. I really don’t get it what’s the...
The market of the manual transmission is dying:cry: Just like the Supra, people clamor for a manual variant; but they buy the automatic version. Makes no sense from a marketing standpoint. As much as I want the Supra to be in manual, I think there’s a slim chance it’ll make it to production. We...
Review: The 2020 Toyota Supra was worth the long wait
KEY POINTS
The 2020 Toyota Supra making its return to showrooms after a painful, 21-year absence.
The new Supra shares the same, basic platform as the new BMW Z4, but the two new cars have little else in common.
The 2020 Toyota Supra...
I agree with you. Toyota has worked hard on this project since 2012. Took a long while before this came to fruition. Toyota will not make a lot of money from sports cars. Why bother make them? In a way, they just want to give back to the enthusiasts, as well as to show their commitment to...
The new Porsche 911 Speedster will have a 6-speed manual transmission gearbox. Hope the Toyota Supra will have it too....because it would be a lot more fun to drive, with a manual.:drive:
Check out the new 911 Speedster’s highlight film:
Any color will do, as long as it’s a Supra. :)
Me, here are my top color choices:
1.) Absolute Zero White
2.) Renaissance Red 2.0
3.) Nitro Yellow
4.) Downshift Blue
5.) Phantom Matte Gray
6.) Turbulence Gray
7.) Nocturnal Black
8.) Tungsten Silver
I love them both. Just that the 86 has some bad angles, and very simple side profile whereas the Supra has a lot of sexy elements to boot, especially from the B-pillar up to the rear. :love:
Why the 2020 Toyota Supra Has a BMW Inline-Six (and Why the 86 Had a Boxer Engine)
After nearly a decade of buildup, the 2020 Toyota Supra is finally here. And the question that usually comes when you talk about it is this: Why? Why the BMW 3.0-liter turbo inline-six engine and platform? Why...
Why compare the Supra to Model 3? I think it would be complicated to compare a gas car to a pure electric car. But, well, when it comes to performance figures, I believe the Model 3 will be more powerful to drive; but the Supra will be more fun to drive overall. The Supra will cater to those who...
Does it mean to say the Supra will have less hp than the Z4 just because it will have a particulate filter(just like the Euro version of the Z4)? What about Toyota’s involvement? What did they actually do to modify / differentiate the engineering(engine) of the Supra vs. Z4?
