The Supra and Z4 use a Pilot Super Sport actually, but its a specially designed compound for the Zupras. That's likely the tire they've been using in all the tests.
Here's an overview of the conversation we had with Tada-San this morning. There were 5 main points we discussed.
1. The vents all over the car, are they/can they be functional?
Tada-San:
The vents on the production car are blocked off because, on the street, none of them are necessary...
Oh btw, we interviewed Tada-San very casually today again. No cameras, no mics, just @ichitaka05 and Tada-San chatting. We confirmed a couple cool details, including a BMW ECU/DME which was specifically chosen because people are already tuning on it. I'll write it up soon.
It looks pastel-ish when not in direct light, but sparkles nicely in direct light. Not super easy to tell in this photo, but I'll try to find one that shows it.
Updated the OP with our Tada san interview. It was short, but it was nice talking to him to get his thoughts at this point. Overall, he's confident. And because he's confident, I'm confident. This guy is #1 in the industry in my book for a thousand different reasons, and I really do put an...

There are always dealerships that don't charge markup, just gotta go find em. Longo Toyota was great at 86 launch, I have no doubt they will do the same this time.
There is a red interior but it is only red on the drivers side, and has black seats. I'm not sure if it will be an option or based on trim, or maybe a Japan-only option.
Here are the Official photos of the Launch Edition of the Supra.
This is limited to 1500 units (in US).
It comes in Absolute Zero White, Nocturnal Black, and Rennaisance Red 2.0.The White and Black versions have a full red interior and red mirrors. The Red version has a black interior. All of...
It's a single exhaust port, we got the new revised head. Just interviewed Tada san, he's tall af. Car is awesome in person, much better than photos. The hips are incredibly sexy. I'm hustling to the media room right now to get the content out!
