I personaly can't see why some of us want the Supra to be an unaffordable supercar that competes with 911s and GT-Rs. Are you guys all that rich? I mean I'd much rather see something in the bmw 240i range that is purely sports oriented AND affordable as a 3 year old second hand car for most people..... I wanna own and drive the thing not just fantasise and jerk off about it haha... no??

lol

Because that [a 240i competitor] isn't a SUPRA! In no universe should a Supra be competing with a 240i. That should be 86's territory or a new Celica. Supra's used to compete against actual performance cars like Corvettes, 911s, RX7s, Zs, and 3000GTs. Not 1995 BMW 328i's with 190hp. Hell not even lowly M3's at the time. And now you want it to take two steps backwards just so you can afford one?

3.8sec in a RWD car is almost impossible. It will more likely be around 5secs.

3.8 is hardly impossible in a RWD car. The 2018 GT with the 10-speed AT runs 3.9. The 2019 Camaro SS with the A10 will likely do 3.9-3.8. They can both be had for well under $40k. BUT... I highly doubt this car will sniff mid-low 4's let alone 3.8, unless it comes it's Mazda Miata light.

I see where they got their design inspiration...

FWIW, the current 918 cayman S is sniffing flat 4s to 100kmh, and the A90 is meant to have similar (if not more) power and 100kg less... forum insiders quoted this somewhere in another thread

I don’t think toyota has the balls to build a fast car.. I dare them. Lol It’ll go against everything toyota believes in..

Their punch line should be.. if you want fast and fun then forget about buying a Toyota.

Wait a minute.. this thing is a BMW right..

Just to tidy up some posts I'm referring to:

I wonder what a Cayman weighing 250lbs less with a ZF8 would do?

[MA617M]

"The Cayman’s boosted four is more than enough to get 3,190 pounds hustling. Zero to 60 mph happens in 3.6 seconds, and the quarter mile passes in 12 seconds flat at 114.9 mph."

He's talking about the m240i. 340 hp turbo i6 that does 0-60 in ~4.3 seconds. That's no slouch. It comes in around $45k base and is going to directly compete with the Supra in price.

Yea they definitely benchmarked the Cayman (as seen on the ring), so it should definitely outperform a Cayman/Cayman S. I'm still curious on the weight numbers but we can all assume to the very least it will have BMW B58 power numbers on at least one of the trims.

Just to tidy up some posts I'm referring to:

 

[Lexusisf]

Ya curb weight is so very important for this car, and sure hope we find out soon...

SC430?

Snooki as well.

Tired to give you guys another visible comparison. Sorry for the low quality pic. But like supraboi said; just remove the MKV's rear bumper and you pretty much end up with the MKV's overall length.

 

[supraboi]

Thanks for overlap comparison. If accurate, it doesn't look that much smaller. Just less overhang in the rear.

the weight is definitely quite disappointing if true..I know A70 has suggested otherwise but he has also pointed out the weight has been subject to change...considering that they didn't go for a manual right off the bat for additional weight savings I think it shows their mentality & goals. Happy to be proven wrong by BMW-T but I would be quite surprised if it ends up weighing less than a 370Z. Still, even if turns out heavier, if they aggressively price it out then it could still be a good deal.
