the production car also looks slightly different, even to the GRMN race car... that car is "old" according to people in the know. not all that surprising though as they are still working on it.

yes that did happen lol; I was the one that spoke about it.

No idea, but I feel like probably months at the earliest, but I'm just guessing based on what I have.

Not sure, but from what was said I don't think there will be special models until later. How much later is a mystery.

I wish I was an ounce as badass as a test driver haha... I'm more or less an engineering liaison (this simplifies what I do, but I'd rather keep it fairly broad). Anyhow, I just watched about 20 mins of that interview and they were speaking about meeting each other before, the 86 development...

wow, I did not see that one coming... interesting.

there's a point to what you're saying in that the sub 3k mark has been changed due to the new motor weighing more (I found this out right after the US source confirmed sub 3k; goes to show there is still plenty being kept secret from divisions outside Japan). it's 1380kg... and then most likely...

Probably an accurate comparison as plenty of folks want $45-50k, but it's likely gonna be $55-60k depending on options. Time will tell.

Lmao, best response.

I actually have some questions on output, but that part I feel is likely around the same number. I also feel that has a ton to do with marketing/sales and if they feel 350hp is enough. Maybe they'll say, 'no we need 400 in ordered to get the bald eagles flying and flags waving' lol

Can't say anything further.

I don't want to give anything more away until release. That said, somewhere in the middle of your reply may provide hints :)

B58/S58 will not be utilized in the production Supra, but they are being used in the mules. That said, this 48v system is definitely possible :D

I do not unfortunately. My information is more or less limited to 2 Lexus models and shoulder bumping here and there over this car.

Hahaha, the blatantly awful editing is so good.

haha Doug is such an idiot, but I cant stop watching his videos.

Correct ^

From how it was phrased, it may be bespoke.

I think it was almost fateful, as Guff said his mentor was the chief engineer of the JZA80, so FRS/BRZ were a big deal, but this was a tribute to his past.

well, the two guys from the European dealer meeting did say that Akio said it was a new Toyota designed motor... I took what they said with a grain of salt at the time, but I also figure that I'm not exactly saying anything new because of that either. in other words, the secret isn't so much...
