It was always about weight, not displacement. However, now with regulations shifting in car makers favor, we should be seeing some interesting things happening.
....also, this almost confirms there would be no I4 in the next gen Supra.
If Toyota makes a 4cyl Supra, they will be shooting themselves in the footā¦.it makes no sense from a brand and marketing standpoint. It will not be an attractive package! Think about it, all of its competition will either be a twin turbo V6, twin turbo I6, twin turbo H6, V8, Supercharged V8...
Iām sticking with what I said months ago.
The G16 architecture is most likely modular. Expanding it by one cylinder would theoretically yield a G20, and pairing two G20s could form the basis of a GR GT V8. From there, Toyota realistically has two paths:
two G16s in a V configuration to create...
My āguessā of 640HP in my previous post in July was pretty damn spot on:

Why would the bore be a completely different story for a modular engine? It was done before by Toyota with the 1UZ and 3UZ:
1UZ-FE (4.0L):
Bore: 87.5 mm (3.44 in)
Stroke: 82.5 mm (3.25 in)
Block: Aluminum
3UZ-FE (4.3L):
Bore: 91 mm (3.6 in) (Increased...
3-4-6-8 strategy.
3cyl Turbo (GR Yaris, GR Corolla)
4cyl Turbo (GR MR, GR 86)
6cyl Turbo (GR ā¦?ā¦)
8cyl Turbo (GR GT)
Curious on the cylinder head design of the GR GTā¦.will one the two 4cyl banks closely resemble the upcoming 4cyl motor?
Don't rule out a six cylinder. Toyota didn't dump several billion dollars into the US pipeline for no reason. It was a "warming gift" for the co-operation. Toyota six and eight cylinders are pretty safe, for now.
That was the beauty of the SC/MKIV....they were all business in the right departments! On the outside, they were mostly plain-jane panels, no hard transitions, edges, complex geometries, etc... However, on the inside (under the skin) they were beyond what most manufacturers had. We need...
Donāt waste your timeā¦all of āhisā posts are just negative takes about someoneās wife, AI-this-or-that, or other nonsense. Letās get back to the real discussion; things are actually getting interesting.
I agree. This doesnāt look like the āLFRā & āGT3āā¦.I mean, it has some similarities because of brand identity, but I feel like this will be the āSC/MKIVā reincarnation. I could be totally wrong on this, but the proportions just donāt match (even with the āGT3āsā camo).
This shot is absolutely...
