All manufacturers are well aware of progress and development by their competitors over time. Toyota is no different. Just because it's been 6+ years since they started working on the project, it doesn't mean that they were designing a car for the 2013 MY when they started. The Supra has been...

Exactly right. Toyota will price the car depending on the market and we just have to wait and see what that is. At this point, pricing I'm sure is still under consideration by Toyota. We've got about another year (I'm guessing) before we get cars hitting our shores, so the market has plenty of...

True, that would be pretty big for water/air. I wonder why it's two colors though?

I just want to mention, the average car price in the US is now over $36,000. Also, the 1993 MKIV Supra cost $69,900 in Turbo trim and $59,200 in NA trim when you calculate inflation. By 1996 the Turbo car was $80,900 with inflation. Needless to say, the MKIV was a fairly expensive car, and the...

I would guess its a water/air heat exchanger. BMW typically uses water/air intercooler for cooling the intake rather than a traditional air/air intercooler.

Had a couple minutes so I decided to try a little photoshopping. First was just putting the production headlights onto the Goodwood car. Next was attempting to use the GR Racing Concept to apply a slightly more uniform color onto the production shape. Didn't come out great IMO, the...

Love this part:

None of the cars, American brands or foreign have a fully domestic source. GM pickups are less domestically sourced than Toyotas pickups. And while Buick Enclaves and Chevy Traverses may be 90% American, Accords at 81% and Camry's & Siennas at 78% aren't far behind (Kogod MIA Index). While...

This is an aside, but I met Ralph Gilles when I was in college. He came to give a presentation and I had the chance to sit down with him and chat about cars. We talked about his passion for the Viper and the need for more focused drivers cars in the world. This was around when the FRS had just...

As far as I know, BMW is using X-Ray tomography to do analysis of material bonding in chassis development... I'm sure Tada San is aware of it, but Idk if they've utilized it in the chassis development of the Z4/Supra.

Honestly its hard to say to be honest. I'm speaking for myself, but I'm sure even A70 isn't privy to the exact points of contention that Tada-san has had to fight the board on throughout the process. It's been 7 long years of development and there are dozens of different roads that this project...

I put it back up. I may have accidentally moved it when I stickied the FAQ.

Aw man, if you knew how hard Tada-San and his team fought to make things their way, you'd be distraught. There's a reason he's got the gray hairs, let me tell you. He went to bat for enthusiasts and has taken more than a few proverbial punches in the process. The respect I have for him is...

I just want to reiterate that we have strict rules on political discussion, so let's keep that in mind here. Between Honda, Toyota, Nissan, and Subaru, there are 33 Japanese-car manufacturing plants located in the US. When it comes to American brands, Chrysler has 5, Ford has 16, and GM has 26...

FWIW, it was Nissan's Design boss who made those claims. And he said, "Whether we go to a lot of electrification or none at all, we can achieve a lot power-wise" and then he goes on to say, "The challenge is on the engineer, to be honest. We will do our jobs when the time comes to make the car...

Once they see the lap times, they'll shut right up.

Welcome to SupraMKV Forums! Here's a quick overview of the most frequently asked questions on the site to help catch you up on the latest and greatest in the world of Supras. What is the MKV Supra? The MKV (Mark 5) Supra is the fifth generation of the Toyota Supra. It is made in collaboration...

I'm writing up a separate FAQ. I'll keep it factual and link to threads with rumor/speculation and discussion.

I'll make it, what should I put in it?
