I tell you, I'm really looking forward to seeing some of the expected platforms being replaced with the much needed next gen platforms for many of their cars and trucks. Examples include next generation 4Runner/GX460, Landcruiser/LX570, GS, Tundra, IS and ISF. I wish Toyota would make extended...

I feel like Toyota would not just simply turn up the boast to make the GRMN version because increased boast will affect the reliability of the engine. I'm sure reliability had a part in the 335 claimed hp whereas the Z4 has 385hp. I know they put it down to some particulate filter but dang, that...

Maybe A70TTR, you might have some insight on this but what are your thoughts on the service intervals for this B58 engine in the GR Supra? BMW drivetrains are now basically set up to be serviced and maintained as little as possible especially since they know that most owners don't keep their...

So is that to assume that that the GRMN version may be a hotter B58 (doubt it) or maybe the next gen M3/M4 engine detuned? If it's the next gen M3/M4 engine, will it come with the manual and double clutch option?

How about this for a GRMN version? My opinion. So it seems that a lot of people are unhappy with the fact that Toyota decided to put BMW's B58 into the Supra. It seems that Toyota went this route because their market research determined that a straight 6 was absolutely necessary for the Supra...

Since you seem to be most connected, I'll take your word for it and like I mentioned, I really want to like the Supra and really want to buy one. I'm going to wait about 4 years before I do though and hopefully, by then we'll know how reliable the B58 is. Maybe even the GRMN Supra will be...

What I'm saying is that they shouldn't have co-developed the Z4 and Supra together and instead Toyota should have developed the Supra all in house and used the Lexus v-6tt and detuned it for Supra duty. This way, the Supra would have at least been designed and developed by Toyota/GR since being...

I'm wondering if Toyota/Lexus has "resisted" going turbo for so long even when the entire industry is going turbo even on some cars that have the purist of purist such as the F-150 going from v-8 to v-6 turbos because of the fact that they've been developing their turbos to meet their quality...

I'd like to think that Toyota might have had a hand in developing the B58 but I really don't think that is the case as they currently don't have any recent in-line 6 engines to draw from so they wouldn't have much insightful input whereas BMW has been designing in-line 6's forever and a half...

With all of the flak that Toyota is getting for using the B58 and BMW interior and to add insult to injury, the Supra won't even be built in Japan, I'm wondering if they should have just used the V6 from the LC500. I know it's not an in-line 6 but they're getting flak for using the bmw engine...

Say what you will about the styling, pricing, hp, auto only, bmw sourced interior, etc..... I frankly applaud Toyota for even making the Supra happen. I actually like the design. Of course there are things I would have changed such as making a manual or at least a dual clutch but it is what it...

I have not read through hundreds of post so I guess my thinking is spot on. :) I think the B58 producing 382hp and 369lb-ft of torque will be plenty to move 3100lbs. If this is the case, then I am a little disappointed that it may not come with a manual or even dual-clutch auto transmission and...

Originally, I thought maybe the top of the line Supra (Gazoo Racing branding) would have the M2 Comp engine which is a detuned M3/M4 S55 engine. The only reason why I think this might not happen is because the Supra and the Z4 are being co-developed and it wouldn't make sense for BMW to develop...

I love seeing the Supra name come back to life. Of course, there is no concrete information yet about the specs of the MKV so all we have now is rumors but I can't help but to make a comparison of the MKV Supra (with rumor specs) to the M2 Competition. The way I see it, I think the Supra will...

After seeing Toyota provide this response to questions from the Supra NASCAR unveiling, I think that Toyota will release a Supra prototype kinda like how Honda released the Civic Type R prototype. It'll look probably about 90% accurate but I wouldn't count on ANY specifics about the car that...

I would love the A90 if it came in this color. I know a lot of people call it smurf blue but I love it especially on a smaller sport car. I think it's beautiful. It's such a vibrant and rich color. Definitely not a shy color that wants to hide in the shadows.

Thanks for the concern but I do know what calibrate means in terming of R&D. I'm sure Toyota is also calibrating the eco mapping, etc but my comment about the "calibration" was about engineering some more reliability into the engine. I'm sure Toyota knows that BMW doesn't make a reliable engine...

Yes, GR/Toyota, please "recalibrate" the high pressure fuel pump, low pressure fuel pump, and water pump. While you're at it, please make sure you also look at and "recalibrate" the ignition coils and injectors too. In other words, please "recalibrate" out of the BMW engine planned...

Hi all. I'm new to the forums and just as excited about the a90 as everybody is. I love the new look. The FT-1 was wishful thinking to think that Toyota would do a complete transfer from that concept to the street but it looks like they didn't water down the street version too much as least...
