You're correct. Targa won't happen. He just answered saying out of targa or convertible which one was likable chance for Supra. Toyota prob have contract/agreement with BMW that, they won't make vert (cuz BMW have Z4) and same goes w BMW not making hardtop Z4.
As for open-top 86, read my next...
I can’t say... well technically, idk. All I know is engine is the biggest question for next gen 86 atm. There’s a rumor of Toyota engine for next gen & that’s possible option. Same goes w hybrid option.
Because, they've taken all the info from our sister site FT86Club. It's all from member's wishing list and nothing solid info. From there, they just made up BS article to get some clicks. It was pretty funny when 90% of those automotive site making an article bout some "new" info of 86... but...
Here’s article by Auto Salon Tokyo
One surprising part was only 10% of Supra parts are used in Z4 (& vice versa), so the rest of the parr’s are different... but ppl still calling it same rebadged car. :dunno:
Look it this way, there will be shops that only worked on BMW coming to play that might bring BMW taxes... but at the same time, there will be shops that only worked on Toyota come to play and might have lower taxes. Plus there will be new shops come to play as well, so first year or so will...

When I was there at the event, I didn't see journalist going side way. Only legit person drifting was Master Drive Herwig. Most of the vid you see Supra going side way is done by Herwig and not the journalists... Of course, in UK review is/might be a bit different (they're used to going side...
MP3 as from USB or something? If that's the case, confirm. Where we stayed, we didn't get any service, so Toyota had to use USB to pump some music out from Supra.
Shaving weight will be tough for this car. Keep in mind, if you want to make This car near 50:50 ratio, you gotta shave off weight from the front more than rear. I requested Tada-san to shave 20kg more. He laugh & said that it’s going to be tough. Maybe tuners can help give him an idea where...
Technically they're still closed to the public.

Toyota Nurburgring Test Track
1 Lap = 5km (3.1 miles)
Elevation Change = 70 meters (229.7 ft)
About the track:
- A lot of blind corners and reminds of Nur.
- Supra goes well with this track.
- There's 2 lanes, but each lane...
Well, Toyota did make a sports car that fit that description, just not badge as "Supra", but badge as "LFA". Back in '11, LFA was compared with other sports car like Porsche, Ferrari, Lamborghini and so on. Pretty much got same kinda review as A80 Supra aka too expensive. Both LFA and GTR had...
Here's a quick translation and notes
Cayman S steering feel firm.
Cayman S exhaust noise is louder than others. It’s a good thing, but bad thing as well.
Cayman S feel fast through the corner, but some area/corners Supra feel faster.
Even try to slide the Cayman S, can feel they’re trying to...

Ferrari 488 GTB - 1.58
Alfa Romeo 4C - 1.45

This article is sum up of Q&A by GR Vice President Shigeki Tomoyama at Mega Web in Odaiba.
Sorry, I’m too lazy to translate this long Q&A, so use google translator.
Not really sad. He’s looking at price & all the features comes in GTS. I think, S is more better comparison for Supra.
I’m pretty sure Toyota will make GTS & GT4 killer down the road.
tbh that one wasn't really good review nor comparison vid. I even show that to Tada-san and even he said "GTS isn't a fair comparison. Compare with S." I just lol'ed at his reply. lol
Whole vid in the nutshell, Cayman GTS is the best out of 3 and M2 Comp is crap. GTS did everything better than...
