There might br an EV Supra in the future but there will always be an inline 6 powered Supra (may be couple with hybrid), especially now the EU allows for e-fuel ICE post 2035.
Japanese treats heritage as a life and death matter and there is no way ‘Morizo’ or his future sucessor will jeopardise...

“reports out of Japan claim Toyota is developing a successor to the current GR Supra – which may use a revised version of the current BMW-sourced 3.0-litre turbo inline six-cylinder engine, or adopt...
From my experience most people who owns a GR Supra somehow knows quite a bit and you can tell they have been talking to other people about the Supra. Again, that's only from my experience so it has never crossed my mind that a Supra owner would think the CTR is superior in performance (not to...
You got caught in semantics. When people say their car is stock at the track they don’t mean stock stock. Even racing in stock class doesn’t mean sock tyres.
Comparing times of a CTR on ‘fast’ tyres (Cup 2) vs Supra on ‘slow’ tyres (PSS) is pointless. Times should be compared to when they are...
Guess you must be new to tracking.
You are in NSW right? No Supra that sees the track there for more than once a month is on stock tyres.
A stock GR Supra on RE-71RS or A052 will outrun any stock CTR on RE-71RS or A052. Go and check on those track events at SMSP or the times ran at the old...
‘The M2 is far too heavy to be a perfect track machine, but its mix of everyday practicality and excellent setup means it can deliver more smiles than its siblings.’ sums it up
Get the Supra if you track or do backroads sporty driving or go for looks.
Get the M2 if you do mostly freeway driving or need the interior space and don’t want to do performance mods
The new M2 is over 300 pounds heavier than the Supra and this weight will show up in any sorts of performance...
The chance of a weight reduction is at least 10 times smaller than a power bump ?
Supra needs a power bump cause many people use it as a weekend car to track, touge, drag…etc
It is now Japan's national strategy to embrace hydrogen energy going forward. Times are changing fast.
Japan teams with Australia to create hydrogen supply chain (gasworld.com)
Akio didn’t ‘left’ Toyota, he is now the Chairman of the Board.
It is the ‘Board’ that sets the vision and the goals for the company. So if Toyota was late to EV it was a joint decision from the board members. Primary because they believe EV is not a blanket solution to carbon neutral and...
No it is not dead. Petrolium ICE is dying but Hydrogen ICE & Synthetic + Biofuel ICE are in the works
Toyota is not betting on just ICE. They are utilising different technology to different platforms to achieve specific engineering goals. So will other car manufacturers. Especially a sports car...
He is put up there to drive the EV projects
All big decisions will have to be approved by the board. With Akio now atvthe helm of Chairman ofvthe biard and still a substantial shareholder, he has the pull to retain ICE on the next Supra
I personally don't see the next Supra being EV, again it's just my opinion (not insider news)
Given the Supra is a low volume halo car for Toyota, they would want to retain the ICE straight 6 heritage for as long as possible. Given their extensive investments in hybrids and hydrogen ICE...
One need to look at the lip on the car from at least 10 feet away.
All those snall lips don’t enhance downforce in the front and also are not visible when looking at the car from 10 feet out
Also don’t get carbon lips as they will break upon inpact with any hard objects
The bar is there to add rigidity and stability to the chassis when that area is under tension and stress.
It is not supposed to be very rigid because it has to be able to flex the way the chassis does.
You don't feel it because you don't drive the car hard enough. Even on a drag strip these...
