As a former last-generation Prelude owner... I'm mixed on this. I fully expected it to be powered by some kind of hybrid-electric or fully electric drivetrain. Most concept cars at this point will have to be some kind of hybrid at minimum to meet fuel economy and emissions regulations in 3-4...

This is interesting and very expected. I figured that in addition to giving themselves a multi-use halo performance engine Toyota will eventually use its G16E-GTS 1.6L turbo I-3 in as many different vehicles as it can in order to further amortize its cost of development and recoup its total...

Maybe it's the gray color but I like the first of the rejected concept sketches better than the final show car they showcased. And I still like the front end of the original orange concept car from a couple of years ago MUCH better than any of the more recent front end designs on this car.

Goko... plain and simple: If your personal preference is to have a manual transmission in a car like this then somehow, however you do it, find a 3.0L M/T. If you've never been totally hard set on getting an M/T over an A/T then only you can say for certain how badly you may want an M/T Supra...

I believe you are correct. But (my speculation) Akio Toyoda at the time probably pushed him more in the direction of the long hood, front engine I-6 rear-drive layout as a fan of the previous Supra. Tada isn’t on this project I don’t believe but given the nature of EV Powertrain layouts, yes...

In the article above it seems to be a possibility that this might be exactly what they do. A whole new model name instead of resurrecting a historic one like "MR2". We'll see by 2026 or 2027.

That's a really awesome chance meeting you both shared! So cool!

Thank you for sharing your experience with pictures!! Even with the tuning quirks you described that is one very special machine to get some seat time in! Plus, several cool places you were able to hit up during the time you had it! I hope you had a great visit to Japan overall!

I know that Tada-San theorized that the next Supra could even go autonomous but… I flat out fail to understand the appeal of a Supra that fully or even partially does any of the driving for you, apart from common and basic traction control aids, stability control aids and ABS braking. What’s...

Adjusted for inflation the Supra MKIV was around $80k-$85k USD in today's money before they dropped $10k off the MSRP in 1997 to try to make more sales.. Today's Supra 3.0L started out far more affordably at $55k USD and is still well below that price range. I can see the MSRP for the next...

I was only talking about him and his situation, man. His issues are his own. And he is quite an open book about how xenophobic, racist, anti-trans, anti-LGBTQ+ he is so it's pretty easy to understand what kind of person he is. His daughter is transgender and so I am sure his intolerant...

I don't think it'll be cheaper than a Supra MKV 3.0L if it's going to have solid state battery cells in the near timeframe. Several years from now that technology should come down in price as production for it scales up. I don't think we have anything to worry about as to how well it will...

Good point, considering they have invested so much time in developing a simulated manual transmission interface for their enthusiast EVs. I also see no stick and third pedal in this concept car.

Well... I can only speak for myself but I've seen plenty of evidence of his antics for years and years now that have led me to my extreme disgust and disinterest in him. It's not some media concocted distraction from achievements-- it's just him doing what he does and shooting his mouth off as...

The first one is the best one. The second one, from the side profile, has an easier shape to manufacture at the doors. The third one has a poorly conceived protruding thing where the much better and more elegant side ducts are on the first version. Both the second and third versions have a...

Yep. The original concept front end looks 100% better than the second version which looks a bit too busy at the front end, at the rear side vents behind the doors and all over the rear end. Also, two thin strips of glass in the roof in an EV two seater sports car...? I'd prefer a solid...

He speaks freely all right... as one of the most petty, homophobic, racist, extremist-loving, perpetually immature and whiny dickheads I've ever had the displeasure of having to listen to. I speak my mind freely too but I don't feel any burning desire to in the way he does about people. The...

^^ I think the consensus among MKIV owners was that this Supra perhaps had tires that were not heated up enough for the cold weather the car was driven in and that this car also possibly still had its factory Torsen Type-1 LSD installed in the 220mm 6-speed rear differential which has a known...
