Active exhaust system sound like the ones in the Ford Mustang EcoBoost variant where artificial sound comes into the cabin via piping/hose and/or speakers. Sometimes, turbocharged engines’ sound is muffled.
Here are some of the actual cases:
Ford - installed a system called Active Noise...
Being realistic, I believe the A90 Supra will not exceed the power output of the BMW Z4. If you want more power, the aftermarket is there, or of it will be offered with a bigger engine or hybrid, it’s possible. The Z4 is possible to have 380hp++ and it’s ok since it’s a Bimmer. Buyers are ready...
When people hear these brands like BMW, Porsche, or Jaguar, the initial reaction would be, that the car is sporty, luxury, and....EXPENSIVE! But when people hear the brand Toyota, first thing comes to mind is reliable and affordable. We should not be confused by that. If Toyota wants to make it...
Well, that sounds quite possible especially if you start to add options, that’s where it’ll start to increase in price. There were rumors that there would be variants, particularly the 3.0-litre I6, that could get additional 50hp boost from some sort of electrification. If that’s the case, that...
Really? There haven’t been official news nor confirmation from Tada nor Toyota that it’s coming with a hybrid. Hybrid for what? You drive a Supra for performance; not efficiency. But if the hybrid will help bring out more power, or some sort of overboost, then that’s ok.
Yes, the suggested price is based on Australian dollars. $74,300 is still quite expensive for the 3.0-litre I6, even more expensive than direct competitors like the BMW Z4, BMW M2, Jaguar F-Type, Porsche Cayman, and the likes. But if it will be a GRMN version, with that price, then that’s ok.
How much are you guys willing to pay for the upcoming A90 Supra? If you ask me, probably around $40,000-$45,000 for the 2.0-litre version, and $46,000-$55,000 for the 3.0-litre version.
According to motoring.com.au, the A90 Supra is going to be priced under 60,000 for the 2.0-litre version and under 100,000 for the 3.0-litre version. I think those are Australian currency. Under 60,000 for the 2.0-litre version sounds fine; but the 3.0-litre version sounds too steep at under...
Hahaha:spaz: If it will perform more like a Toyota than BMW, I believe resale value will be high. Hard to predict for now since both engines will be sourced from BMW. Reliability, durability, affordability should be key when it comes to Toyota.
Well, getting the I4 could also be for those...
Seriously....when you wait for something, like your dream car, the longer you wait, the more rewarding the experience will be when you finally get/own it. It will be a dream come true, and beyond. :respect:
I agree with it not coming in manual, as it has already been said by Tada. Probably soon, hopefully. Supra won’t come in white paint? Seriously? White is one of the most famous colors, especially with sports cars; and that the GR Supra Racing Concept came in white surrounded by black and red, i...
It is possible that if Subaru doesn’t want a 2nd-gen BRZ, Toyota could work their way out. Toyota could tie-up with Mazda, using MX-5’s platform(and engines too), for the 2nd-gen 86. I believe 2nd-gen 86 would still be around $27,000 or even a bit more expensive. The small sports car could be...
This is a good idea for the aftermarket, and for those who want their cars to avoid getting scratches, and instead scratching others’.:nixon: Some sort of a self-protection or shield.
Me, personally, I would love to own the 3.0 I6 variant, if budget permits. :drive:
I would consider the 2.0 I4 variant if I would be doing a 2JZ engine swap.:D
Here’s my take:
PROs:
2.0 I4 - lighter(less weight could transcend to better handling even with smaller engine); more fuel...
