Exactly! I guarantee you every publication outlet in the world will do this. I can just see it now, "MKV vs. MKIV - How Will The New Car Compare?" Toyota will be shooting themselves in the foot by resurrecting a "Supra" to be less worthy of the previous generation....which we all know WILL...

The RX-8 is compared to the RX-7 because it is the next "RX" in the lineup....the GTR (Skyline prefix or not) is compared to the previous GTR's, because it is the next "GTR" in the lineup...the list goes on and on (i.e., 350Z, NSX, Corvettes, etc...). This is no secret, and pure expectation by...

I like how Lexus doesn't hold back on their naming of concepts to production...they make it so obvious (i.e., LF-LC became the LC, LFA became the LFA, etc...). I don't understand why Toyota can't just confirm the name of the car during the testing phase. Is the name really going to be a deal...

Exactly! Toyota is notorious for creating awesome halo sports cars, and ones that stand the test of time. The 2000GT now fetches over a million dollars at auctions. The AE86 is so sought after, people are restoring rusted examples of them all over the world. The Supra....well, we all know...

I am one of those people! If it will be called “Supra” it better deliver like a Supra....in every aspect! If they call it a “GT-1” or something along those lines, I’ll buy it....because then, it will create a new cult following for years to come in it’s own unique way and I won’t have to worry...

Can’t say I didn’t tell you so... http://www.autoguide.com/auto-news/2017/11/toyota-s-new-sports-car-might-not-be-called-supra.html Toyota will not call this FT-1 a “Supra”.....it will be called something new or probably a “3000GT”.

^I agree, not really digging the rear fenders.

With all that camo, it really is straying away from the concept. I see similarities in that the camo gear gives us the illusion that the test mule is rock'n the same F1 type nose, side vents, and rear bumper as the FT-1, but in all honesty, the concept looks way better with these features as it...

No one said “1000bhp” or “1000whp”.....I said 1000hp (at the crank), and if you think the 2JZ or the RB26 can’t make 1000hp (at the crank) on stock internals (bottom-end), PM me and I can introduce you to two very nice gentlemen here in Chicago who will prove you very wrong....”ask me how I know.”

I’d gladly invite AMS to this thread for their input on the VR38DETT’s stock capabilities. I’m sure it will surprise the hell out of many of this forum. Again, many engines can be “pushed” way past their advertised ratings....how long they can stay in one piece is a whole different ball game...

Why do you say that? Lexus cars only cost double because of the luxury bits, not the mechanicals. We have seen this time and time again (V8 4Runner & GX470, Lancruiser and LX570, Camry V6 & ES300, etc...). They share the same powertrains, with the only difference being the luxury parts...

Not because of the legendary 1000hp monster!?!?!?! The MKIV was developed to handle gobbs of power from the drawing boards, and then detuned for street use....just like the GTR it was created to compete against. I believe the term in racing is called “homologation.” One rule of homologation...

Alot of cars have BMW engines (look at Mini...not so great in the reliability department), and while I do appreciate the engineering and technology that goes into those engines, I feel that they are not built for the long haul or to be pushed far out of the box. This has been my gripe with...

I have no problems with the FT-1 or a new model having a BMW engine or BMW parts. I’m just not too enthusiastic about a new “Supra” having a BMW engine or parts. Regardless, expect the BMW cocky drivers to start their “see, even the venerable Supra now has a BMW engine” shenanigans. This is...

Toyota/Lexus called the LF-A the "LF-A" during all phases of its concept, development, testing, and production. To say that Toyota would never use FT-1 is a bold statement. The reason I believe Toyota will stick with FT-1 or a different name is because the new halo car must be it's own unique...

Why is the idea of a TT V6 sound so obscured? You mean to tell me that the idea of Toyota designing and engineering an entirely new cylinder head makes more sense than an existing design that has been tested and proven in a Toyota/Lexus!?!?! Consider the following: - Toyota doesn't make good...

It would make much more sense for Toyota to use the LS500's twin turbo V6 not only because of the engineering work already accomplished with that motor.....but to maintain better quality control and response to issues. Ever notice when a TSB goes out for a Lexus model, it generally affects...

The acronym 'GmbH', which is written after the name of the company, designates a company as private in Germany. The letters stand for Gesellschaft mit beschränkter Haftung which, translated literally, means a ‘company with limited liability’. I believe Toyota outsourced much of the 2JZ’s...

While I agree with what Mike Pappas said above, and I feel as disappointed with many JDM failures based on the 90’s-00’s sportscars....I always think back to one thing..........the MKIV Supra was more German than it was Japanese. It’s true! Even though Toyota built the car in Japan as final...

I plan on doing the 99' JDM conversion....body, trans, and headlights.
