I am unsure if this is anything to read into as to how it might affect the future of the more attainable GR division vehicles: GR Yaris, GR Corolla, GR 86, GR Supra, GR MR2 / GR Celica, potential S-FR roadster, GR Starlet, potential GR sport sedan like a successor to the Altezza RS200-Z or Mark...

These AI generated (as to the "hosts" and narration script) videos are becoming so prevalent now. Even though he often rambles on at length I'll still take the Kirk Kriefels video over AI. I completely understand the desire for a more concisely stated video on the topic though.

I had really hoped this was much further along than they're now claiming. At least they're confirming it's in the process of development now, albeit still only at the prototype stage. At the very least that is a huge step further than the skunkworks GR Yaris mid-engine test mule which they...

Hmm. Recently so far: GR Yaris GR Corolla GR Supra MKV 6-speed manual with the 6-port head B58D GR 86 6-speed manual GR GT & GT3 And to name a few if you want to go for classics: 1967-69 2000GT 1970-77 A-series Celica 1978-84 Starlet KP61 1983-1987 Corolla AE86 4A-GE 1990-1992 Supra JZA70...

Oh I'm sure they do. It's no secret to anyone that they've been designing a new "MR2" (whatever they'll finally call it). It's only a matter of time before it actually shows up.

…..A GR Daihatsu Kei truck? Okay. Now I understand all the reactions after the recent MR2 hype. Probably not the best PR move on their part to troll people. Sure, release this model but since it’s so minor don’t build up people’s hopes when they’re expecting one or more very significant GR...

I haven’t been able to watch the full video yet. I gather they did not announce any new model. Were they just talking about the brand’s motorsport history and how they view it as a new brand of the Toyota group?

It has been very strongly suggested that it will be AWD using the GR Yaris and GR Corolla's GR-Four system flopped to the other end. Other than wanting to utilize the system they've invested so much into in more performance models Toyota may have wanted to take a page from Porsche with their...

Definitely this. Although retaining the "MR2" name still makes the most sense even if the original meaning was supposed to be "Midship Runabout 2-seater". Or "MR-S" for markets that always used that name in the past.

Not surprising that they want it that way. They went to a lot of trouble to make this halo racecar. Between wanting some exclusivity despite it being a higher volume production model than the original LFA and needing to balance out the engine's emissions output with the rest of their entire...

Yes. Both the G20E and G16E. And non high performance variations of each as well. R&D cost amortization on that level had to happen to allow for the fun high performance variants.

This would not surprise me if they offered it that way but at least as far as the next Supra is concerned the hybrid option will likely be covered by the G20E 2.0L turbo hybrid which would meet Toyota's mandate for every model (Supra and GR GT included) having, at minimum, a hybrid trim level...

Toyota has more or less confirmed there will be a 2.0L 4cyl turbo hybrid variant trim level of the Supra MKVI. And they do need this for any global markets (Japan included) which tax significantly higher for engines displacing more than 2.0L. But there's no reason they can't offer another...

Maybe because they already spent millions to develop the G16E inline 3 and have already been using it in several vehicles so as to amortize costs (GR Yaris, GR Corolla, Lexus LBX GR & 1.5L I-3 hybrid, GR Starlet). Since it really isn't that much more of a stretch to do so they can easily join...

This is the only article referencing the double decklid approach that I could find in a quick one page search. I read at least two other articles around that timeframe going into the same sometime in the last two years. Anyway this one is from almost two years ago. Since then they'd have come...

I don't think there would be any additional delay. I last heard of that design decision many months ago. As to the exterior design itself as pictured (since it's just the Toyota MR2-*like* BEV concept) there may well be a difference since there's only a single decklid in that design in the...

The rumor has been that the chassis and exterior design took longer because the engineers eventually went with a double rear decklid design like the AW11 and SW20 1st and 2nd generations because they considered it a better choice. This render looks like CarScoops only mildly modified the...

I don't think they're going to phase out entry level GR models like the GR86 and GR Corolla (or something like it) when those are key to getting people interested in the brand. One of the worst things Nissan did is only carry the very expensive and out of reach for most R35 and under it the...

Which says a lot about the upper potential of the V8. At bare minimum Toyota seems to want to use some inline six for the Supra MKVI and the next conventional Lexus coupe (which will share the same base chassis architecture in different wheelbases with different focuses). But if they would be...
