Go FSE if you wanna go full modern lol. I'm still working to import one of those btw...

Yeah, I remember. A lot of people mentioned the possibility of other names. But since the very beginning, everyone I know at Toyota has called it the Supra. The core engineering concept was made in that image.

There were none. This wasn't a random car that they made and just took a pick from a list to decide what to call it. Like it or not, this car was developed as a Supra from its very inception.

Usually I'm into David's content, but man, I really expected him to have a more holistic understanding of the current market and the development process, especially considering the seat time he has in the wide variety of cars he tests. I guess you just gotta vent your frustrations somewhere...

I was wondering this myself, then I looked up the RCF GT3 vs the RCF and I realized that the Lexan windows need a frame to be rigid. The production car will be frameless.

Damn, if this stuff holds up, then I'm even more pumped than before! I legit had nightmares about the Supra being perfect and then I get inside and it's a BMW interior... :cry: No visible parts shared is a very interesting way to put it as well, I wonder if that's exactly how Tada said it or...

I meant "exclusively" as in they only use the ZF box and not other slushboxes. Just trying to note that the ZF box is used in a lot of sports cars, and it's a pretty good trans.

Yeah, couldn't find anything to back this up though.

Nothing an angle grinder can't fix! :wave:

Does it? I'd think they were just inlets like the MKIV.

Yup, fuel tank is gonna be right there, squished in between the seats and the rear axle. Definitely no backseats happening.

I can't confirm with any data, but 50% was definitely what I read last as well.

That would be brutal irony hahaha

Not an expert lol, but I'm fairly certain that's a negative. Size, weight, and cost being the main reasons.

I always figured there would be an Aisin truck transmission that Toyota would have modified for the application, but alas, it doesn't seem to be the case.

Yeah, would definitely be sad hahaha. However, there is a strong chance that this GR Supra concept will be at NY, so hopefully I'll get that much.

Well for what it's worth, Alfa Romeo, BMW (sans M3/4), Aston Martin, Bentley, Jaguar, and Maserati all use the ZF 8HP almost exclusively in their sports cars. But no manual still sucks ass. :dunno:

Haha, all this news is bringing about more questions than answers... I really hope it's not Jan 2019 though... :cry:

If he's in New York, I'll try to have a sit down with him.

My main concern is that if there's no 3.0 + Manual config in any car, then fooling the ECU that the auto trans is fine after swapping it for a manual will be a bit of a challenge. With the rapid development of aftermarket CANBUS translators though, I'm sure it won't be too much of an issue...
