I'm patiently waiting to hear more myself but so far it seems to relate to Toyota actually having had much more of a direct hand in the co-development of the gen1 FR-S/86/BRZ from the chassis to Toyota components to the redesigned Aisin 6-speed M/T, 6-speed automatic, rear differential and...

This is concerning considering all Toyota has invested in the GR Super Sport. https://jalopnik.com/the-fias-hypercar-class-is-imploding-1841798039

If the 2nd gen GR86 were to come out with no manual transmission and only around 240-250hp (turbo or not) and one of Subaru's CVT's... that would be a no-go. I can't imagine that would be the case though. I'm glad to hear the Z4 manual is now out in the wild finally! That means those...

I totally agree! I'm keeping my old manual 2JZGTE SC300. It ticks all the boxes in an everyday livable classic car for me. What I am interested in is what car I will put next to it. I am fully aware that new manual transmission vehicles have a finite window of time before none are made any...

It's just rather amazing to me that an enthusiast transmission choice (3 pedal manual) in a two seater front engine rear drive iconic Japanese turbo sports car model has been resisted by Toyota and BMW this much. Toyota already sells a popular low powered 86 sportscar that proves Toyota buyers...

Hopefully this will be 1-300 cars (or whatever the final figure will be) *per year* and not just that number in total. The A91 Edition seems to be a one-year-only special though? I hope that once introduced the GRMN Supra will be available every year until MKV production finally ceases.

^^ You've laid out the current reality quite plainly once again. That makes complete sense. And it's also a little sad. It means few drivelines come out these days that are intended for the owners to push quite hard or modify for more power (at least with the stock moving & rotating parts)...

I've been reading articles about Subaru's driveline issues for a few months now and your concern probably isn't unfounded. This makes me think about when so many 1990's Japanese cars were generally (some more than others) known for their "overbuilt" reputation. Toyota and Nissan more than the...

From what A70 has said before... somewhere between $85k-$95k MSRP?? And that is before the inevitable insane dealer markups which will surely bump the price well into six figures. Or maybe it really will cost six figures to start with? Only Toyota bean counters, Akio and Tada know for sure at...

This is the kind of special edition I am looking forward to, when Toyota finally gets their hands dity : )

I haven't owned either the old IS-F or current RC-F, no so I will have to defer to your personal experience with those engines. I completely agree about the chassis design (over 4,000 lbs for a midsize performance coupe? Woof) and the transmissions and gearing they were both paired with but...

Ah, ok. So at minimum that would refer to compression ratio differences denoting one full *short block* assembly vs another. We need the part numbers for the raw blocks sans rotating assemblies... if they are even sold bare.

ynguldyn, thank you. I had hoped this wasn’t the case that the engine blocks (not just the cylinder heads) are different castings.

I agree! The RC-F has another Toyota gem engine. Also before it the 1st gen IS-F V8.

You are correct about the reasons why the B58C exists (very strict emissions compliance in certain markets) and I agree with you about the likely multiple reasons why the first globally sold model year got the B58C variant. However I beg to differ about Toyota's "absolute shit performance"...

^^ If Toyota gets to sell limited yearly numbers of GRMN Supra MKV's with factory S58 engines in 2023 at $85k++ I think it would be a great thing. IF they were to do that. That means there would be an even higher performance FACTORY engine configuration that will always exist in Toyota's parts...

Whoa... hang on a moment. You're saying the B58C cylinder head HAS NO EXHAUST PORTS AT ALL and instead *routes the exhaust gasses THROUGH the short block* somehow...? So the exhaust exit on a MY2020 supposedly goes not through the integrated manifold on the 2020 cylinder head but through the...

Hang on... if I understand your post correctly then the MY2021 6-port cylinder head *will not* fit on a MY2020 B58 engine block that originally came with the cylinder head that has an integrated exhaust manifold cast into it. So not only are 2020 and 2021 cylinder heads different (which we knew...

Yep. Incidentally the UK seems to be getting the GR Corolla as well even though they’ll have access to the GR Yaris. But that’s the European market. Not sure if the C-HR with the similar (likely not the same power) drivetrain is a U.S. only thing or also a global vehicle thing.

Once it gets into the parts system I’m sure you can order that cylinder head. Hold off for a bit and then start checking NA Supra model listings in Partsouq. It will show up in their exploded diagram listings for every global Supra model. There you can look up all the part numbers you need...
