I never said the GR GT3 was the new Supra or a new Lexus. I said there is a new platform on its way, and whether or not it uses the same underpinnings is yet to be confirmed. However, the GR GT3 (current concept) is a different car altogether. This is why I am saying I don’t believe we will...

There is a new sports car platform coming, this I know for sure (Lexus something and Toyota Supra successor). I was referring to this GR GT3 concept that is way too costly overall for the U.S. market. Even as a Lexus only, it would put this vehicle in the $200k+ price range….which would...

There are R&D mules with undetectable camo running new underpinnings for the new platform. However, pretty positive it’s not the GR GT3.
Stock for stock a MKIV will get left behind….and anyone who disagrees can’t handle the truth. I have videos of my brothers brand new stock 2021 dusting my stock 1994 MKIV. Now, one of our good friend has a 600whp modded MKIV and that thing….well, it’s nuts. It’s not 1000whp, but even at...
You will be whipped and crucified if you say anything that even remotely hints at anything negative about the MKIV on Supraforums….weird because it’s called Supraforums not MKIVSupraforums. Don’t get me wrong, I too had my doubts initially about the MKV, but as more information came along...
My thoughts (not that it matters im sure):
The MKIII is the most “loaded” of all Supra’s. Toyota threw everything they had into it; powerful motor, good chassis, nice sharp aero, comfy seats, and electronics to make RoboCop jealous. It was heavy and reliability was hit or miss (depending on how...
Toyota (like other foreign automakers) are radically changing their direction, I think alot of people are forgetting that material sourcing has taken a nose dive. Emissions standards is getting tighter and tighter by the day, and inflation has made buying high-quality things almost out of...
It’s all dollar and cents at the end of the day. If they can afford to make an affordable car globally, they will. However, right now, the economy is seriously down….like you can’t even get baby food down.
If I had to “guess”….
Material acquisition under review. 2023 will determine green light for the new platform globally. In other words, this new platform might not be available in North America. On the same note, logistics efforts are focusing on J300 LC globally. We may actually see the...
GRMN anything won’t see US shores….never has, never will. This was exclusive to European market, before the MKV Supra.
Development efforts for the remainder of the A9x chassis will be incremental (think R35 GTR). There is a new car in the works….a few “fugly” mules hanging out at Motomachi...
This! Especially if the car becomes a collector, you don't want a accident history reported on the car if you decided to sell down the road. You may not even take a hit (no pun intended) now as used market is still on fire.
I’m “thinking” something more rev happy, with different cam profile, valves (high temp), exhaust port flow, and (possibly) a factory water injection. Ehhh….but do I know.
