I went to the future 1 week from now and teleported 4500 miles to switzerland
jk

From what I've collected from all over the interwebz and some of my own predictions (in bold in case you don't trust me):
It'll be running forced induction (1 or 2 turbos) on a 6-cylinder (maybe an inline-6, but probably not) interlaced with a KERS system.
Pump about 400 bhp and 390 lb-ft of torque (estimated from Toyota's other V-6's)
Cost $45-50k at base price, with options pushing that over $60k (if I know Toyota correctly lol)
Front-engine, RWD drivetrain setup.
Paddle shifters and 7 gears on a dual-clutch automatic gearbox.
Have a medium-sized active rear wing.
Wear a front end more rounded than the FT-1 concept's (homage to the MKIV).
Have a good amount of weight-saving, so expect carbon fibre and Alcantara.
Maybe a targa top? Unlikely, though.

This is an expensive modern Toyota, so there's a touchscreen, blind spot monitoring, an HUD, and a backup camera.
Nifty touches like a dragster-style LED strip for shifting on the top of the steering wheel.
A voice control system co-developed with Amazon Alexa. (This is true, but not sure if will be on the Supra.)

Hope you like this little overview of what might come!
And thanks for liking my post!
Dude i think you only nailed the weight thing , and maybe , maybe i say , the price . Everything else it is pretty much known for some months now , like the bmw engines and the auto only.

Hmm What AM I driving?
I got a feeling we'll be excited to get to see a race car concept and not learn much else about the production model.

If the reveal is a GT500 car it will likely have a race spec 4 cylinder engine so we won't get a sense of what the real car has to offer, both in weight, interior, or drive train. Hopefully the reveal will be a gt3 or gt2 variant.

1 day and 4 hrs? For me it reads 1 day and 21hrs, and we're at pretty much the same longitude...

A70 mentioned it would be more GT3 spec - IE production height bonnet lights etc. So should be fairly accurate to production car
