It was told that an RZ trim would be coming at ~3250lbs. Thus, with what's leaked as 62k, suggest this would have everything. Perhaps a GT car more than a performance car but there's no news what engine will be in this trim, or styling or cues or interior items.
But considering the SZ-R is...
If rumors are true, a GRMN will come, at what price and what time is anyone's guess. Manual coming down the road too.
I would think after being hounded about turbo or HP on the 86, Tada would make sure he doesn't hear the same thing again. To have a performance machine out the box.
I say newcomer due to time of account. There are a lot of details going on with this car that suggests several incredible things are going on at a 50k ish range. From weight, power, torque, stability, center of gravity, this isn't going to be an average sports car on the market. The intangibles...
Let the newcomer dream and believe the RS is a better or more fun car cause specs apparently is the final answer on a car.
Just like people saying why get miata/86 when I get a mustang with so and so hp for same price?
The purpose of the car went over their heads.
If we give out the source, fans, lurkers and probably journalists will be going ham on asking for more.
If anything more comes, we'll just wait and see
Notice, BMW would be the one to underrate.
Unless Toyota wants to make it nice for insurance companies, I'd think they would want to show real, concrete numbers of what it can really do.
Pretty sure he meant in semantics. Make a MR2 in this level of cost and go all out with potential 80k monster with all Toyota parts.
That would be dope...and expensive.
Toyota is more or less saying, this is the best we can give you while getting a decent ROI. Take it or leave it, because you...
Cause Toyota isn't Porsche?
No disrespect because you are right that we SHOULD get a car that just works. Along with low weight, 400 HP and all other factors. But we might not get THE Supra as one might expect.
Toyota has a lot of money but they don't like to waste money for the sake of it. As...
Your username made me think an official Toyota Rep had an account here.
Disappointed. Anyways, enjoy your stay as we near the reveal supposedly coming around November.
I don't really care until it is driven.
I am still wondering if since this is only the third prototype made as guff decoded,, is there any chance the final arrangements and setup is actually vastly different than what was driven?
I'm a newb in terms of understanding tires or how it is fitted causes a difference in performance.
In leyman terms, is the tire size for the Supra suggesting it's withstanding a lot more than the cayman?
Edit: Skip to 1:52 to hear the engine clearly.
