Especially if it does have 400hp and a 6mt for $40k and a 300hp version even cheaper than that. Spec sheet warriors and the HP-per-dollar crowd will have a field day with this car. It may not outperform the Supra on the track, but it may have more everyday-enjoyment than the Supra.

I should back up and change my statement from "won't have the V35a" to "can't have the V35a." Although very unlikely, putting the V35a in the GRMN model is the fast track to legitimizing GRMN as a performance sub brand.

You misread or misinterpreted what I said. I never said switch to a different engine, I said add an additional engine to the lineup which is something CLAR is designed to handle. For example, GR Supra 2.0, GR Supra 3.0, and the additional GRMN Supra 3.5. If you’re comment was even remotely...

Someone has to have some imagination around here. The current narrative is that Toyota revived their halo car after 20 years and launched a performance sub-brand just to put a performance tune on another company's mid-tier 6 cylinder motor, which doesn't even meet EU regulations. What about the...

Get off your high horse, I’m posting theories since this thread has been dead. I have no expectations, no need to be an actual prick. I just don’t see how Toyota plans on launching a global performance brand with a motor (B58D) that doesn’t even meet EU regulations. “Masters of the Nurburgring”...

Toyota did it with the RAV4, Avensis, and Verso and the N47 so I don’t see why they can’t do it here.

Bored in the house and I'm in the house bored. You say that like it is crazy, but there has to be some tricks up Toyota's sleeve to compete with a the midengine GT4 with GT3 suspension as a FR inline 6. Nevertheless, I have been here for 2 years and still havent seen anything that says the...

Is there any validity behind the IS refresh having the B58 in the non-F version and the V35a/2UR as the top model? https://leftlanenews.com/lexus/1517612231550740977/ If so, I don’t see how the IS can have both B58 and a Toyota engine but the Supra can not. It would make more sense for the...

Conspiracy theory: this is referring to the V35a which is rated at ~309-310 kw depending on source.

Not according to this https://x-engineer.org/automotive-engineering/vehicle/hybrid/micro-mild-full-hybrid-electric-vehicle/

I do not know unfortunately but I would assume it’s not a lot if they chose to keep the battery in the front

The 48v hybrid system isn't the traditional hybrid setup and adds minimal weight. It is an extra 48v battery with an alternator and starter generator.

Toyota unveils Yaris GR lineup for Japan. Most notably is the RC trim which appears to be similar to the RZ but with all the unnecessary items removed aka the lighter model. https://global.toyota/en/newsroom/toyota/32741087.html

The 8 series isn't selling because it is roughly the same size and has similar trims as the outgoing 6 series but by giving it an 8 instead of a 6 they thought they could an additional $30k. I don't know why they need to compromise the 4 series to make up with their pitfalls of the 8 series...

That has to be expected, but what wasn't expected was how large the car is. 189 inches long wtf. That's longer than the LC500.

It’s for the 3rd Toyota sports car brother, the GRMN Supra which is larger than the GR Supra. The brothers scale in price and performance from the GR86 to the GR Supra and then up to the GRMN Supra. While it sounds ridiculous for Toyota to use 2/3 of the GR Supra chassis to develop even another...

Does Toyota not provide an alignment within the first 2,000 miles for the Supra like BMW does?

I in no means think they will actually produce something like that.

All of that is obvious. I’m not looking for answers, I’m just brainstorming or theorizing what and why they are testing.

That doesn’t address what I said even if it has looked that way since 2015 or 2005 for that matter. It all goes back to what they are testing and why and not why the mule looks like that.
