Whats the point of the camo wrap? From what I can tell it looks pretty much the same as the black GR GT3 concept

This thing is supposed to be a V8 but the hood is even longer than the LFA. This makes me think its because they wanted the engine to sit behind the front axle

This prototype looks almost identical to the mules I’ve seen previously (with no spoiler and ugly square panels on the front and rear bumpers). However, the proportions are spot on. This looks like a platform that can be shared for the “new Supra.” Still, I am skeptical of anything outside a V6TT Hybrid system for the new platform.

i wonder if it will house both?

You mean both an I6 and V6?…or V6 and V8?

V6 and V8

Good question. I’m going to stick to what I know and that is a hybrid and/or electrification will be present regardless….and since no more V8’s are going to be produced (last call being the IS500 and I believe the LC500), the hybrid system has only been deployed with I4 and V6 powertrains. So, in my honest opinion (based on the info from reputable sources) this platform will most likely be; V6TT, V6TT Hybrid, and/or full EV.

If Toyota miraculously introduces an I6 turbo engine, it will be a game changer. The proportion’s won’t make sense. It makes sense for the MKV Supra because it’s smaller and tighter package, but this GT3 platform (“A” platform) looks longer, wider, and lower….all characteristics of a “V” type engine. Let’s face it, we really don’t care all that much about an inline six, we just want a home grown Toyota turbo motor that can handle crazy power.

Is... is that what I think it is? LFR twin?

This really looks like a first gen GT86 with a crazy-arse rear body kit. Check out the side glass, interior, door sills, short bonnet etc

I thought

Toyota GT3 = race version
Lexus LFR = Road version
