I get that, the quality content will be far higher than a typical performance competitive vehicle. A quality DCT is straight up going to cost more than a torque converter automatic.
I personally believe the new Supra will be closer to 400bhp when it finally bows. At that power / weight ratio...
I am trying to ballpark an MSRP with reason. So at 340bhp and 3,300 lbs cited at the Festival of Speed you are looking at a 370Z Sport, Tech competitor.
The 2018 Z in that configuration has an MSRP of about $37,000. I would be willing to pay a premium for the Supra given the potential of...
Okay, this is a game changer. If this is a bespoke, CGI block, with worked heads and D-4S derivative system... the scalability in tuning will be practically limitless. This seems to be in the vein of a 2J successor that Tada says he was aiming for.
So if the car comes out with mid 300 bhp...
I watch all tv coverage of this race and the last couple of years were extraordinarily rough on Toyota. I am very glad you laid out their history at the 24 Hours of Le Mans. They have worked so hard at it, I'd like to see them win one.
For this year since Audi and Porsche are not competing...
225 section width seems way too small for this car unless it is a Euro spec 2.0T which I don't think is coming stateside. I was hoping at least 245 up front, 275 out back. Bigger is better!
For what it's worth I am not surprised that the car is wearing Michelin tires. They seem to be the...
This is kind of a deal maker or deal breaker for me. I've turned sour on GM because their D.I. fix isn't working. As good as the LT1 is, I keep cars for a decade or more. I won't tolerate this carbon fouling from a contemporary model. Not for the money I'm going to spend. If the top end of...
Wow that is disappointing! I could see this car having a power / weight ratio to rival the C7 with a price to match if not less. I thought maybe a more premium car than the 370Z but with all the goodies BMW is bringing to the table I am hopeful for a competitive price.
The interviews with...
In my opinion there is no better venue to launch a sporting model than the 24 Hours of Le Mans. It is the Superbowl of sports car racing and the media coverage will be significant. On top of that many enthusiast buyers and owners watch the event even if they don't watch another all year.
I...
"Mr. Tada says "It is useful for development due to the wide range of remodeling," but it is probably an indication of commitment to Toyota's "Le Mans 24 Hours". This year we will also announce WEC participation and aim to win Le Mans 24 hours, but it is probably also considering entering...
Hey guys! I've been lurking for about a month and thought it was time to join the board.
I am a fan of fast, cool cars of all makes and models. For the past decade or so I've been deep into the LSX scene and have had my eyes on a C7 but then I discovered the new Supra is for sure coming and...
