Not sure exactly, but there is “talk” about “capacitor boosting.” Imagine, a V6TT with new Yamaha heads and a capacitor pack for additional boost .But this is for electrification only, right?

No inline-six? ;-;Not sure exactly, but there is “talk” about “capacitor boosting.” Imagine, a V6TT with new Yamaha heads and a capacitor pack for additional boost .
The unknown…however, im gonna say probably not. A V6 will be much much easier to integrate a hybrid motor to than an I6 (dimensions wise).No inline-six? ;-;
I still don’t have concrete info on engine types, but based on the upcoming tech they want to use (and currently use i.e., iForce Max), an inline six would make the powertrain layout too long. Now, it may explain the long hood of the GT3 concept as a “vision” for a long hood, short rear end platform. However, I think with alot of their other platforms (especially Lexus) going 4cyl turbo w/hybrid, this may make sense to use an existing V6TT (closed deck, forged bottom end) with a hybrid utilizing capacitor-based electrification for additional boost rather than MPG’s. Something tells me the next Supra won’t have hybrid, but the Lexus definitely will. Question is, which motor will power the next Supra? Is the Mazda deal exclusive to the A100 and the V6TT Hybrid exclusive to the Lexus??All that talk about the BMW partnership because the Supra NEEDS an i6 only to go and replace it with a V6? Sounds odd to me, I can't imagine them doing that after what a big deal they made it for the A90.
EDIT: Don't get me wrong, I'm fine with a TTV6 for the Supra, but I just find it weird from the whole marketing campaign they went on for the A90 defending the BMW partnership because the inline 6 is important to the Supra line.
If they are working on an updated TTV6, hopefully it can find it's way into a next-gen IS as well.
Is Toyota looking for 4 seats this time?I still don’t have concrete info on engine types, but based on the upcoming tech they want to use (and currently use i.e., iForce Max), an inline six would make the powertrain layout too long.

Haven’t heard anything about four seats. Pretty sure the new chassis will be designed for “alot of room” in the engine bay.Is Toyota looking for 4 seats this time?
They ultimately partnered with BMW because BMW wanted that secret Toyota EV sauce, as well quality manufacturering secrets. When B58 was revised by Toyota, it was BMW engineers who were amazed that they X Rayed every component for quality and micro stresses. An eye opener as to Toyotas quality and reliability for them. (BMW reliability is going up since 2016.) Legitly tho. Supra probably wouldn't have been born if toyota didn't bargain for a deal on their end. Sucks it ended up being parts bin basically, but the supra is undeniably awesome and also well priced.All that talk about the BMW partnership because the Supra NEEDS an i6 only to go and replace it with a V6?
