350 does seem lower than expected especially for something branded "Supra" (I understand the original supra was released as something completely different than what it has turned into)Do you think some of these figures/the aesthetics could possibly change from now until then? There are things that make me believe that Toyota is still "holding back" info. I feel like they are saying/showing these "Production" cars, but there are still things that will be changed to the production version. For example, I don't doubt that the first version will only come in auto/DCT, but the HP figure seems to be a little low for a Toyota Halo car.
That's my personal opinion though, wondering if anyone else agrees or disagrees?
That last part makes a lot more sense to me now. De-tune the car and then sell the tune.....I forget someone mentioned that there would be factory tunes to pump up the hp ( : Can't wait!! Hopefully the sound of the Turbo Inline 6 sounds just as glorious350 does seem lower than expected especially for something branded "Supra" (I understand the original supra was released as something completely different than what it has turned into)
but then again....compared to its other sports car the 86 and that power output.....I wouldn't be suprised if it did come out to be 350....if it indeed weighs 3000lbs thats still a fun, quick sports car.....not to mention if they built it with the intent of aftermarket tuning 350 is a nice number to make the pitch of "hey buy our grmn tune/intake/exhaust/intercooler etc etc etc." to pump up the power to a more reasonable 400-450
So the current Camry makes above 300 HP. I am not a horsepower guy since I drive a ND Miata LOL, but for the Supra should be for than 350.Spotted on supra forums.
I was recently at a Toyota event and got to see the car from a distance (Along with the NASCAR version). It's very similar, if not exactly the same, as the most recent renderings. The following was shared:
- Will debut at the Detroit Auto Show, should see it at dealerships next Summer. - ~350 HP engine, not 400 as I've seen stated. It will be an I6 with a single turbo. - Automatic transmission. Toyota did not officially announce this but in talking to a Toyota engineer it's a no-go on a M/T - hoping he's wrong..
It was about a 45 second show and tell so they didn't divulge much information beyond that.
It probably is. These turbo motors tend to be underrated. I believe even the MKIV TT dyno more then what Toyota had stated.So the current Camry makes above 300 HP. I am not a horsepower guy since I drive a ND Miata LOL, but for the Supra should be for than 350.
PFfft,I agree with everyone's sentiments. To me, 50k is a magic number. Anything above that and it starts to feel like I'm paying too much to indulge. At 50k I can negotiate it down to the 40s and it starts to feel more practical in my mind.
Toyota doesn't decide whether dealers can negotiate. Nor can they just "hike up" prices. This is a car. There are tons of cars and this is only special to some people because of nostalgia. On paper it's still an automobile. Wait till the second model year and when the hype train is gone, it'll be just like any auto purchase.PFfft,
No offense, but I doubt Toyota will let any type of negotiating happen when they're going to hike these prices up cause Supra.
That's what I had in mind. I heard dealerships were marking up the price of the 86 cause it was sepcial. I still think a third year or fourth year is the year someone should purchase.Toyota doesn't decide whether dealers can negotiate. Nor can they just "hike up" prices. This is a car.

Dealers can try what ever they want. Go in the middle of the month, decline the first offer, give them the number you want, when they refuse walk out the door. They'll call you 100%. Wait a week, and by the end of the month they'll give you what you want so they can reach their monthly sales goal.That's what I had in mind.

I'm only sayinf dealerships will most likely try and get some extra $$$ from the brand a Supra brings for enthusiasts .
That's what happened with someone I know when I dropped my car off for maintenance, got a civic Type R. I say, oh man, did the dealership tried to screw you?Dealers can try what ever they want.
