I think the design will change a bit when it makes it to production. Bestcar got close with their initial GR Corolla renderings but even those were a bit too rounded and lacking in definition compared to the final production cars. These guess renderings still looks decent enough for now so...

I don't need to "deal" with anything, lol. The car I was looking for is already out now (Supra 3.0 Premium 6-speed manual transmission hardtop) so I'm good! All other options from this point on are additional wins IMO! Maybe this will be the case with a targa version as well? I've been in...

February 22nd 2023 Bestcar update on the 3rd generation Toyota 86 and Subaru BRZ: https://bestcarweb.jp/news/scoop/595141 Open in Chrome to select Japanese to English translation.

I don't think that a B58 update with direct and port injection (and presumably a little more power...?) would constitute a GRMN Supra. That's just not enough to sufficiently wow people and earn the badge. Great for the regular Supra 3.0 if it happens though. Whatever the GRMN will be it has to...

That is it! Thank you!

Didn't someone with info from the BMW Z4 info side of things mention that a minor revision to the B58D would possibly include both direct and port injection sometime before both cars ended production? Perhaps I misinterpreted what I had read and no, sorry, I couldn't even begin to find the...

Akio Toyoda will still be very involved and his beloved pet projects and GR division will continue and grow under Koji Sato. Toyoda has been at the helm for several years and this CEO change is not abnormal for Toyota Motor Corp. The company's recent overall electrification strategy change...

I don't feel we'll be disappointed at all by the rest of the Supra MKV series. Same with the A100 Supra even though it will be different.

This latest rumor of the MR2 is that it will fundamentally be an ICE car but with a hybrid system. As an EV... you would never see it using today's conventional battery technology. It's just not possible with that particular shape as pictured in Toyota's "EV Reveal Day" from a couple of years...

I understand where you're coming from but I do not think this is the case at all. I haven't heard of this particular rumor until it was mentioned in this thread. Toyota JUST introduced the MY2023 variant with a new manual transmission. I think they will want to milk sales of that costly to...

That's definitely not the case as MY2023's are on sale right now with current updates. Toyota, BMW and Magna-Steyr will stick to their original production schedule... but I also don't see them extending it.

From all of our past insider info the game plan seems to have always been for the Supra MKV to have a final 2026 *model year*, which means it would go into final orders and new sales sometime in the actual year 2025. I don't think Toyota can financially shoulder the entire MKV project on their...

They both sound like beautiful examples! The 393 stroker in your '65 I have no doubt is a powerful torque monster. I couldn't ever do one of those cars without power steering and power brakes-- more power to you setting up your '65 with a more pure track-like setup in both regards. And a '67...

Very nice! Which model years for your convertible and coupe? All the Mustangs from that time have such timeless style. At the time I bought and owned my '69 Fastback (a very, very basic example) they were far more affordable and attainable than they are today. I think that goes for all...

1969 Ford Mustang Fastback 302 V8 Automatic. I never got to finish it the way I wanted to and really didn't want to sell it but c'est la vie. I never cared about originality and there were *so many* aspects of the car in it's stock form to improve upon (especially its handling and stopping...

This is interesting coming from Ferrari: https://www.thedrive.com/news/ferrari-files-patent-for-gas-thruster-pulse-jet-handling-system-for-supercars And so they claim, Nissan is on track to begin introducing their solid state batteries in 2028. THey also make some claims about another...

Traditional nuclear fission power plants don't have to be the way that method is expanded. Molten salt reactors are far safer than uranium reactors and are more or less inherently incapable of causing environmental radiation damage from a meltdown of the core due to cooling system failures...

For *most* kinds of common vehicles that aren't high performance or heavy duty industrial/commercial the conventional 100% EV technology in 2023 is pretty much there for *most* people. But still has significant limitations and the charging infrastructure isn't nearly there yet. This is going...

^^ He did, yes. I can't remember if A70 also said something to that effect backwhen he was still posting. I expected a gasoline turbocharged hybrid electric A100 Supra. Now this report is completely different. Doing a midship-like design somewhat takes away from the classic long hood trait that...
