340 it is then!The Z4 has multiple engines(3 at last count)and the top rated engine is the one rated at 380hp. The Supra is supposedly not getting that engine.

just saying how Chevy is kind of doing the same thing as dodge nowspilner.. whatās your point?
Technically yes, but the 335hp is EU only. While the 382hp is the US spec.The Z4 has multiple engines(3 at last count)and the top rated engine is the one rated at 380hp. The Supra is supposedly not getting that engine.
The way it is written makes it sound like its not coming to the US.Lastly, I hope that the inline 4 is available in most markets as I think a lower budget Supra would be better for overall sales and for the enthusiast who does not want to spend such a large amount of money such as myself.
costs of a larger engine can be prohibitive in ownership (Europe) or registration costs (Japan).
I'm not sure, but I read it cost Toyota over a billion dollars to develop the 1UZ.āIt really was a coincidence that BMW was the only maker still producing a straight six engine, and our legendary Supra was also a car laureled on our flagship inline-six at the timeā
How expensive would it have been for Toyota to build their own six cyl engine? This all could have gone so different...
Most likely very expensive lol. If it weren't for BMW they would have probably just shoved in a V6 and built it on the N platform. At least that's what it sound like from the FT-HS' press release.How expensive would it have been for Toyota to build their own six cyl engine? This all could have gone so different...
View attachment 2314A powerful V6 3.5-litre engine is coupled with a 21st century sports hybrid system with a target power output of approximately 400-horsepower.
Initial investment is very high but overtime the tech gets into other applications and thats where the initial investment starts paying itself back with interest. Itās called an investment after all, not an expense.It's insanely expensive which is why they try to develop motors they can share across platforms, and as we've seen across brands as well.
You should see the tally for the LFA motor...
Toyota still produces a straight six for the 7FG/7FD series forklifts.āIt really was a coincidence that BMW was the only maker still producing a straight six engine, and our legendary Supra was also a car laureled on our flagship inline-six at the timeā
