2020 Toyota Supra Spied testing at the Nurburgring (4 minute video)

I hope they continue to refine the engine note. That sounds pretty bland. Especially for a bmw six.

Hoping for an option, either in the driving modes or separately to be able to change the exhaust valves/noise...ex. Audi RS3

 

[Nurburgring]

Insanely short gearing @0:20
Very controlled body roll @1:05 (and many other vid segments)

Engine sounds great to me for a stock turbo car. Looking good so far!

Agree body looks very stable and flat^

@ :59 Seconds listen closely for the Bov!! Sounds sweet.

 

[simply put]

call me crazy but i hear 2 distinct engine notes. one with black wheels has a higher pitch and is less "vocal". the one with silver wheels seems like the tone is an octave or 2 lower and is slightly "shoutier" upon tip in at low speeds. the silver wheels look like the largest set i've seen yet on the car.

also i don't think the fender vents are fake. they look like they're back cut into the fender. ultimately i can't tell. if they are fake that's a bummer. they look oddly well sculpted to not be put into use.

Might be a sport exhaust they are testing.

I think it sounds pretty good. The M2, M3, and M4 sounds like crap.

 

[MA617M]

That they do.

BMW have zero excuse for making a shitty sounding I6. They make the best I6s in the world.



Case in-point

 

[SupraFiend]

... you mean the best naturally aspirated inline 6s in the world. Or maybe, just the best currently (seeing as Toyota hasn't had one in a production car since 2007).

As for exhaust note, lets keep in mind that the great mk4 factory exhaust had 3 mufflers, 2 cats, split into 2 pipes and then merged back into the last muffler. It was wee bit quiet out of the box.

 

[MA617M]

Yeah, I'd still argue that the JZ needs some love before it starts to really howl.... but it's personal preference at this point

 

[WrinkledApple]

Having own a Toyota 86, I audibly groaned "Noooooo..." when I saw the frameless door windows...

 

[DevonK]

^ They will need to do a better job of winterproofing them that's for sure. No-one wants frozen windows on their expensive toy.

..don't think those sort of things are avoidable with frameless doors at nearly any price...I've seen & read plenty of BMWs & Teslas having issues with their frameless windows.

 

[MA617M]

Never had issues with my frameless doors in my A61, A70, A80 or 86? Particularly in the frosty mornings?

I admit frameless doors can have their issues but having a framed door sort of kills some of the aesthetic sportiness from the car.
