@above that seems like a realistic timeline. Anyone know of some big car shows coming up at the end of this year?
"We think"
"Might be of interest"
Either the Toyota public communications department has a serious hearing problem, or they're legit about it.
I really hope.
What I also would like...
Lol the song No No No by thefatrat
Tada-san is playing with us IMO. He's letting the public brew up rumors, then spoiling them one by one. Geneva? Gives us a racing concept. NY? Nothing! Manual tranny? "Ehh, the market isn't big enough." I feel like the PR people are going to bang their heads...
???
That doesn't look like a Cayman, the headlights are different...
Though it looks like an early 2010s-era 911 Turbo, not a previous-gen GT3 RS. Funny.
Or maybe I just suck at Porsche history.
Nooo, an iDrive Tiptronic shift lever!
THE MANUAL IS DEAD PEOPLE
Or wait, they wouldn't put it on the test mule becuz people could easily hear and see it, and the surprise would be ruined...
@above That seems about right.
Manual transmission would be awesome, but we have to look at the practicality and selling points of it. The Supra was meant as a GT-ish car, and many were sold with an automatic.
That said, I'm pretty sure there will be a manual transmission. It's a sports car...
Ohh yeah lol!
I am so disappointed with toyota rn. It's like they have something to hide. Where's the production Supra? And to think I stayed up half the night for it...
Cheerful side tho, they will have to sell at least a few GR editions for homologation.
I can share your feeling. I think, though, that you can go buy a Tremec T-56, take the shift boot off an old Celica, and install it in there for about $3k. It is front-engine RWD, so not much modding involved. That's your best bet if you want a manual tranny.
It's been done before, though...
*Case in point
Also, a Porsche with as much horsepower as an LC would be a 911 GT3. And those aren't really GT.
This is getting way off topic lol.
Anyone know when they'll show full performance data and release-spec interior and exterior photos?
