New (Unconfirmed) Details and Specifications of US-Spec MKV Supra:

[MLG Tofu Shop]

No offence to anyone but would bringing back the Celica and the GT-FOUR/All Trac version be a lot easier to pull off? Plus it would be more of a Toyota.

Does TNGA do AWD?

Yes. LS has AWD. UX also has AWD.

Do you want another Subaru collaboration?

Considering Toyota's past history, they are not going to make a awd car unless they can cut the cost.

Though, a awd celica that is the equivalent of a wrx would be awesome. Not the same price mind you but would be a great alternative on the market

Please no more collaborations with other car manufacturers.

I just saw that this thread got featured and this rendering was used as a preview. Does that mean these are the closest ones to the real thing?

All other things aside, if the car does look close to this (and better in person) then it’ll easily be one of my favorite looking cars on the road.

To be honest with you, I rather prefer Toyota to make performance cars based on TNGA. A proper Toyota without the involvement of other car manufacturers even if that means no proper sports car from Toyota, at least we can get something fast, fun and reliable.

I dont get why so many people keep saying "i trust tada." Did you forget his team gave us the 86 abortion? Looks like hes 0/2 now.

Please keep Tada the fuck away from any sports car.

The 86 was fantastic, fuck off. If you're unable to see the value in that car and how there is literally no manufacturer with the balls to make a niche drivers car for the people, then you're not going to see any value in the Supra because you can't tell your friends you have more horsepower than them at your weekly circlejerk.

On another note, I want to see how the community respond with the supra

Yes.

The front splitter and a few small details are a little different, but that is very close to the production car, according to the the source of the leak.

Apparently it looks even better in person, the proportions are supposedly very good.

Great news! Those BMW mirrors still look out of place. I can already see people changing them out with the ones from the MKV, 86, or aftermarket units from eBay.

I wouldn't be surprise. The real thing usually has more of a wow factor.

Still shaped like how it is in the render, just a bit different in length and height.

Yeah you're right. It is a little higher on the spy shots. Maybe someone with awesome Photoshop skills can rise it for us?

A70TTR has already address why GA-L was not used for the A90. He also said in the past if Toyota were to reskin the LC to make it look like the FT-1; that alone would already make the price tag push $100k+.

good questions.

because the sales of the A80 were so much lower than A70, Toyota decided that was going to be the last halo sports car for a long time. They then famously put all efforts into economy cars, and this was commonly known as the appliance era. Common knowledge more or less...

Prior to that however, yes, the A chassis and Z chassis were both closely related, sharing the same platform and many components therein as a result. There was an issue with this starting with the A80 though, in that engineering did not want to use a heavy luxury car platform for what was considered internally as a successor to the 2000GT. Management did not care and forced the engineers to use the platform anyways and instead told them to focus on improving it versus condemning it. This compromise was definitely at odds with what the car was supposed to achieve and is interesting as maybe it would have been a lighter weight sports car instead of GT, but at the end of the day they made it work the best they could.

With SC430, there was still a business case for the car unlike the A80, but as we saw sales were pretty low and that car was all around odd IMO.

In time, both cars more or less fell out of favor, both publicly and with upper management, which is why the LC500 exists. It is an SC successor in every way, and they considered naming it as such before deciding to move to a new nomenclature altogether.

As to why the LC platform wasn't used for a new Supra likely stems back to that A80 vs Z30 mindset of not wanting performance compromise, perhaps Lexus not wanting to share chassis (possible but unlikely), and that Toyota wanted to trade tech and costs with another company a la 86, and so with all factors coming together we have the present situation. Compromise none the less, but perhaps not as much depending on how you look at goals for a given model.

Isn't the price tag already that high?
