The 2GR is actually an amazing engine and has great tuning potential.
a) It/They should comfortably be in the 350-400bhp ballpark.
b) it's almost as if you've ignored the last 5 sports cars Toyota has built?
While I expect that the MR2 would be under the Supra in hierarchy, it's more so...
Yeah. I feel like there is uncertainty over whether they can successfully bring back both models or not and whether it make more sense to have an awd MR2 or a mid engined Celica if they can only do one.
Maybe it was too good to last. This actually sucks. A numbers man at the helm is what caused Toyota to kill off it's passion cars in the early 2000's and it took over a decade to come back. Just maybe this is why they spun the GR brand off as it's own entity. They may enjoy a similar level of...
Probably to build a great car that serves the purpose of homologating a GT3 race car and selling them at a price to those who may appreciate it in numbers that will ensure they get enough sold to comply with said homologation.
You keep saying "worse". If "worse" to you is a set of numbers on...
I feel like not everyone defines "better" as hp/mph/0-60 per $ or whatever subjective metric we as enthusiast apply. Cars are best experienced from behind the wheel and not looking over specs in a magazine. The corvette has always objectively been a great car at a comparatively low price and...
Again, make no mistake. This car exists so Toyota can have a brawler of a GT3 car. They've been hiring for, expanding and working on their customer motorsports interest as well and that is it's own business case there. Audi left a lot of business on the table to mop up and I have no doubt that...

Unnecessary. GT3 racecars have limits on power, BoP, etc etc.
I'd say the GR GT would compete marketwise with the 911 Turbo S and the GT3... There may be a GRMN GT that competes with the GT3RS (remember the fixed wing test mule that was NOT the GT3 version?)
Anyway, as much as Toyoda says...
