Thanks for the video. Very well done and on point for the most heated aspect of the new Supra.

Agreed. Although MB currently has a real sports car in their lineup (AMG GT, what an awesome car). Lexus apparently does not care for the "911-ish" segment.

Seriously cool. Thanks for the info.

It`s been done on several platforms. There are kits for DCT swaps on 2JZ: http://www.garagewhifbitz.co.uk/garage-whifbitz-7-speed-dct-gearbox-conversion.html E30 M50 turbo with DCT: This guy is swapping a DCT into his turbo Miata: https://www.instagram.com/harald_f/ DCT has been...

Serious question for the resident transmission expert: You mentioned your company was interested in the development of a true sequential transmission for the A90 platform. What advantages do you see in this, compared to a double clutch transmission swap from a M3/M4 that could (in my ignorant...

I understand you can only write off the tax on MSRP, so basically nothing.

2.1 million? Impossible... internet experts have determined the car sucks bigtime and will not sell.

"the upcoming rear-drive BMW M3 will have less power than the all-wheel drive model. That’s because its manual gearbox can’t handle the same amount of torque as the ZF eight-speed automatic" :hmm:

Strong start for Toyota / GR motorsport activities. Of course it´s no ordinary Hilux

Pros: - It exists, looks good and has a solid mechanical base for a serious performance car Cons: - Weight. That is the only real let down for me. Power is cheap, lightness is expensive and complex.

As we know, the 2019 technical update for the BMW "B" engine family" (B38/48/58) includes several modifications on the existing B platform: New fuel system, single piece chain drive, split engine cooling and the integration of the exhaust manifold into the cylinder head. This applies to the new...

That is HUGE; reverse engineering a new DME would have set back aftermaket development significantly. Great info.

"Lifecycle management" is not really Toyota`s core strength. They design very well and sell forever with minimal variations. It`s good to see they realize it needs to be different for the Supra.

He seems pretty confident in the product! SportAuto will probably test it before Toyota does, and it won`t do 7:40 in showroom stock form.

"Front end design is a clamshell, which is great for working on the car, it`s a BMW motor so you`re going to be working on it" LOL!!! Loved that first look video Guff & team! Straight to the bone, no bullshit.

Give us the technical sheet :D

Gorgeous looking car. Interior is ok for me: Big central tachometer. Buttons for most of the stuff you need. Love the low seating position enclosed by transmission tunnel and the door, very useful to hold you in place when tracking the car. Just noticed: JBL sound system.

This “leak” has been pretty effective apparently. The most read newspaper in my country (which doesn’t care at all for sports cars) has this on their webpage right now:

I think that is a great price. Also nice to have a base version, could be significantly lighter and great for builds. Good job Toyota.
