News, Updates, and Discussions on next-gen A100 Supra

i think an MR2 replacement is more likely than a new Celica but more good things are in the pipe lines

Sales is key, and missing out on public mandates means more barriers to entry = less sales. Mild hybrid, PHEV, or even full EV for next gen (at least) keeps Supra relevant for emissions requirements.

If Bestcar is right it probably means a late deal was struck between Toyota and BMW for a second gen that is heavily based on the current models. Think along the lines of the second gen 86/BRZ but maybe with hybrid tech this time around.

Perhaps a stop gap measure until a full on EV Supra is ready.

Thinking about how a facelifted A90 would look and the result is hilarious

“reports out of Japan claim Toyota is developing a successor to the current GR Supra – which may use a revised version of the current BMW-sourced 3.0-litre turbo inline six-cylinder engine, or adopt electric propulsion.”

S58 or GR modified B58?

There might br an EV Supra in the future but there will always be an inline 6 powered Supra (may be couple with hybrid), especially now the EU allows for e-fuel ICE post 2035.

Japanese treats heritage as a life and death matter and there is no way ‘Morizo’ or his future sucessor will jeopardise the Supra inline 6 heritage by releasing a new Supra that is EV only, without an inline 6 option

Either significantly better or significantly worse. No in between.

Absolutely no chance BMW allows Toyota to use the S58. Specially not with the G87 M2 having recently been released. A Supra with a S58 would steal all the thunder from the M2. What seems more possible is a factory tuned B58 that increases the power in the Supra stock.

I like the front and side view of the rendering (I think it's the same from BestMotoring) not sure about the rear however, but I'm sure I will get use to it. Anyway, something to look forward to.

Going off the same Japanese magazine source as Kriefels, though

Thats all the YooTooberZ do now - reference other videos and the same piece of information and act like they just discovered the Ark of the Covenant.

If Toyota and BMW decide to make a second generation Supra on a similar/revised platform, I don’t think it’s realistic to expect much electric addition. Batteries, cables, motors, etc, are things that need a lot of planning to put into any vehicle, little on one designed for track work.

There are mandates to hit fuel economy numbers but that is based off of all sales, so as long as both keep pumping out hybrid/PHEV/EV products this will help offset ICE products that they sell. If EVs aren’t mandated until 2035, that’s 12 years from now, that’s enough time to milk this Supra and one more before having to make EV sports cars. On a business side, by sticking to ICE and current platform that allows BMW/Toyota to recoup the cost of development over 15 years, which is likely the length of time to make the numbers work based on the low volume.

So if I was going to predict if there is another generation of Supra it’ll be on this platform modified and tweaked, with a inline 6 and god willing a manual.

Well 4 series vs i4...
Anyhow I agree on the ICE milking front

Are you implying if BMW can make the 4 series and the i4 that why not an EV Supra?

If so, the difference is that the 4 series platform was always built and designed with electric applications in mind. I do not think the Supra and Z platform was designed with the same intentions.
