Doing partnership, collaboration with other automakers, I believe Toyota doesnāt always have the final say even if they want to make something possible.It feels like "Toyota please make a Supra with a manual" is the new "Toyota please make a 86 with more power" - 7 years and counting and it ain't happening !
Good luck to those who want a manual - hope it happens for you guys.
With regards to the 86/BRZ project, Toyota didnāt mention anything about the turbo engine enthusiasts have been clamoring for for a long time. I remember Tada-san just said that if you add turbo, it would add weight, and they have to do some engine revisions, which would ruin the balance of the car. He also said that the 86 is made for those who love to drive around the corners. Itās never about straight line speed. If, in case, they release a turbo 86, I think Toyota would have a hard time introducing the Supra. Itās all part of their marketing, for sure. Just not sure why Toyota doesnāt want to release a manual Supra just yet. If they give an answer to that, enthusiasts will be patient enough to wait. Thatās all those who want a manual Supra have been waiting for, after all.
Dear Toyota, please grant our request, make our dream manual Supra come true.
