Unless something has changed, the Supra MKV should be discontinued after MY2026 (in the actual year 2025). What is both irksome and troubling is that the Forbes article implies that the Supra model in general won’t continue into an A100 generation. I won’t believe that until it’s official but...

I’d like to see this confirmed elsewhere as well but these specs are nothing we didn’t already know would be a possibility. $120k MSRP is a bit higher than expected but not by too much. It’s a shame they’re sticking to their 200 unit number. I wonder if that’s 200 GRMN’s just for Japan, 200...

I took almost six years to get my GTE swap installed and running, though the engine build phase only took a year and a half and I’d already upgraded the suspension, brakes and installed an R154 transmission by that time. It is certainly easier to do things in phases. I had to plan my vehicle‘s...

Agreed. And yes it does seem like he was constrained on space to do a lot of work on it himself. Whether or not he is comfortable doing the work himself is an unknown but with all of the online DIY documentation and available TSRM PDFs online and with the access to tools and parts between...

Glad he figured out that he ultimately did not want the Supra and is happier now but what happened and how he tried to deal with it suggests to me that he isn’t really all that used to working on cars. And with any car like this... you kind of have to be willing to (to an extent) in order to...

If the 6-speed manual in both cars is the Tremec Magnum / TR6060 or some revision of either gearbox, those things are rated at a constant 700ft-lbs of torque. The OEM clutch design aside it's not surprising they're offering a manual on a sub-700hp (crank horsepower) CT5-V.

An electric Hummer actually makes a lot of sense. I wish it looked more like the military-type AM General H1 but I guess we have Bollinger's $100k+ B1 electric truck/SUV for that. Electric motors make perfect sense for something like a Hummer, so long as they actually make it off-road capable...

Yes to all. And don't forget the twin front and rear mechanical Torsen LSD package option. It would be extremely annoying to have to source those parts from Japan and pay extra for a driveline shop to install them and risk voiding the warranty in the process just to get the hardware that...

^^ It seems so. That really sucks. Honestly they could power it by anything at this point and I'd be happy so long as the Miata and a higher end RX-7 style Mazda sports car are in their lineup. Mazda has always demonstrated great ambitions at various times only for them to be short-lived or...

https://www.autoclassics.com/news/483146/replica-cars-federal-law-nhtsa/ This is very good news for car enthusiasts (depending on what popular classic model you like and for an undoubtedly high price). Kit car versions of replica classics still being an option, now the makers of replica...

If 2022 model years really will be just a carryovers then it’s quite a waste of opportunity to bring out many features that we’ve been expecting. I find myself thinking of this old commercial:

Agreed. I always keep a compressor, tire plug and patch kit, bright battery powered utility light and a compact spare in the car. When in the middle of nowhere or on a highway with nothing in the way of a service station for a couple hundred miles or more in the pitch black of night these...

This is just my speculation but what if at a certain point it just won't be possible to make the GR86 in the same way again (non-hybrid, manual transmission, front engine and rear drive with a traditional mechanical LSD and relatively low weight) in a few years and the Celica hatch/coupe...

Thank you!

For me the 86 series ranks in looks: #1 — Scion FR-S front bumper #2 — 1st gen Subaru BRZ front bumper #3 — 1st gen Toyota GT86 front bumper (needs to be replaced with an FR-S bumper) In the 2nd gen series, hands down this leaked GR86 front bumper looks much better than the 2nd gen BRZ front...

For this vehicle aren’t they adapting BMW’s version of those active safety systems and re-branding them under the “Toyota Safety Sense 2.0” name? BMW already sells a version of the Z4 2.0L with a 6-speed manual in Europe so at the very least there is a whole manual driveline already set up for...

Having been on a number of drives through the I-40 corridor I 100% agree with you. Full size or compact spare all the way. It's best to be as prepared for emergencies as you can be. Guff, do you happen to have a Toyota or BMW part number that you can post for the OEM Supra MKV spare tire you...

https://www.motor1.com/news/466533/toyota-supra-autonomous-drift/ I can't say this use of a Supra MKV makes me enthusiastic. I know there are all manner of wider applications and reasons for doing this with future vehicle safety, collision avoidance and semi-autonomous systems but it would be...

A few countries do have a horsepower tax. It just usually comes down to a displacement tax.

I’ve never been a fan of leasing personally especially when it comes to niche low volume, high demand high performance vehicles that beg to be driven and customized but maybe this is actually an attractive option for some. https://www.motor1.com/news/465693/toyota-supra-5000-mile-lease/
