I am also one that wishes the A90 Supra was a GT-R competitor, but it makes sense that an LC-F may fill those shoes as the top dog from Toyota/Lexus. I doubt Toyota would want a Toyota branded vehicle competing at that level when they have an established premium brand, with the legend of the...

nice to have this sucker back on the road

Australia will be 80-100k, I am guessing. That's the price bracket for M2/RS3/A45 AMG, and below a Boxster/Cayman, so seems a logical fit.

they don't have an A70 though :P

<3 thank you kind sir i think that any differentiators between the two models will only be a good thing

Do you think the Z4 will retain the B58 or also get the same engine as the A90? I imagine alliances, wiring harnesses, ECU etc will all largely be the same between the two engines - makes sense from a design and manufacturing perspective to keep it that way.

+1 absolutely and some exhaust/manifold trickery to unleash that demonic BMW I6 howl....

can i please have a long tube manifold, single gtx4088 and Ti exhaust from factory, with warranty, Toyota? :P

am I the only one that thinks overboost is pointless? if i want max powers, I want to put my foot to the firewall, not push a button for extra 20s of fknwoosh.... I guess I'm coming from mountain road/circuit mentality, not highway cruiser....

That's correct. It adds +20kg and the weight distribution is unaffected according to insiders. Chosen for its ability to handle bulk power

A70 all but confirmed 1380kg (+20kg due to new engine) And I agree. While I believe Toyota know what they're doing, and it will be a weapon, I think it needs at least 300kW. I don't want to buy an A90 supra ans have it the least powerful car in the garage.

exactly, and there is zero rationale in a sports car marketed as the halo model with less power than a GT86.

remember, the bimmerpost (even if accurate) was at a time when the A90 had a B58 under the hood (the mules still do) the production A90 has a different engine, with a new head and iron block. hence the +20kg weight penalty. take it with a grain of salt.

interestingly, the reviews say a twin turbo I6, and didn't we have confirmation of the Supra being single?

Does the Z4 use the B58? Or will it use the Supra engine? (As we know, insiders confirmed it is a new head design and a different engine block to B58)

I find a Detroit debut hard to believe, isn't that a dead motor show?

Forum insiders already mentioned in another thread that the head will be new and unique to Supra (and Z4??)

but 'merica, "we need highway monsters :P"

Thanks! I am curious - the newer engine that the supra will receive - will that be in he z4 too? Or will that stick with the B58?

hardtop or nothing convertibles and targa tops can GTFO
