Yeah, I think we were maybe referring to the same point. If the “next Supra” is going to utilize a Toyota motor (assuming no I6) and be attainable to current audience (age/demographic/etc…), it will not be as good as the MKV. However, if what I’ve heard is true, the new platform will be...

The A90 did set a high bar….for a $60k sports car. The next Supra won’t be $60k or anywhere near that. You are going to see a six figure sports car, and every penny will show.

Good question. I’m going to stick to what I know and that is a hybrid and/or electrification will be present regardless….and since no more V8’s are going to be produced (last call being the IS500 and I believe the LC500), the hybrid system has only been deployed with I4 and V6 powertrains. So...

You mean both an I6 and V6?…or V6 and V8?

Just to be clear, im not “anti-EV.” Electric motors are hands down way more efficient than a gasoline or diesel engine….there is no argument. The problem is and has always been refueling and availability. Remember, Tesla’s are not that old….they’ve only been on the roads since 2012 and it...

A reworked, strengthened, and tuned V35A-FTS (especially with Yamaha valve-train) will be hard to beat. Look what Nissan did with the VR38DETT. A 3 liter V35A-FTS with dual VVT-i, Yamaha heads, modern turbos, and a hybrid system would be hard to beat under $100k. I just cant see a non-“V”...

This prototype looks almost identical to the mules I’ve seen previously (with no spoiler and ugly square panels on the front and rear bumpers). However, the proportions are spot on. This looks like a platform that can be shared for the “new Supra.” Still, I am skeptical of anything outside a...

Phil, I tried wording it as “loosely” as possible because this forum (im sure) doesn’t want to dive in to the nitty gritty details of power quality….I mean, I’d rather discuss big turbos and 1/4 mile times than sine waves and quality of wiring and systems hehe. However, “let’s make every car an...

Lol. We’ve all gotten so use to just plugging things in to a 110v outlet and they work that we don’t question where or how our power is delivered. California is learning the hard way.

The biggest problem with electrical grids is not power generation as most people think….but power quality. Electricity is a different animal in how it is delivered vs gasoline. Gasoline’s logistics is very easy, reliable, and very cost effective. Electricity needs distribution centers to kick...

...too busy giving his opinion on ice cream flavors ?

For ICE cars I understand, because the carbon emissions do actually cause some damage (very minor) to the environment and roads (i.e., unburnt fuels, leaks, brake dust, etc...). However, an EV has very miniscule damage other than tire wear and brake dust....of which is very very minor in terms...

They will always find a way to tax us. The vehicle can be 100% clean, and they will find some “usage tax” to collect on. Crazy.

Very true. Good to see you back A70TTR! I feel like Toyota is going back to it's 90's strategy...which is not a bad thing at all! I mean look at what they are doing with the LandCruiser/GX550, these two are almost identical except one is luxurious and one isn't. This will be a great...

Believe me when I say, Toyota's "new" direction is to cater to it's legendary cars fanbase. It's so odd because you would think Akio would have heavily considered this, but the new guy is running with it full steam. I was told that the interior would have queues from the MKIV, and that alone...

Substantial amount of Carbon Fiber use coming. That is a very good sign of direction Toyota is going.

MKV Supra updates might be shared with the upcoming “clown shoe.”
