So performance from what you have heard about this serialized car/grmn version are we getting essentially a cayman gt4 competitor since the base mkv is targeting the base cayman/gts?Word is engineers from Saertex & Teijin are heading to the Motomachi factory led by Toyota management to "scope out" facility for tooling at the same time while a few "vanilla" MKV chassis's will be there.
honestly I have no idea who Toyota would be targeting. The people they are getting involved sound like contractors from racing divisions (Saertex & Teijin are composites experts), so Iām assuming some top tier competitors. They may or may not be associated with the MKV, but itās weird that āeveryoneā will be at the same facility during that time. Iāll post more info as it comes along.So performance from what you have heard about this serialized car/grmn version are we getting essentially a cayman gt4 competitor since the base mkv is targeting the base cayman/gts?
Sounds like Toyota is keeping their word in regards to the Supra being less than 1500kgWord is engineers from Saertex & Teijin are heading to the Motomachi factory led by Toyota management to "scope out" facility for tooling at the same time while a few "vanilla" MKV chassis's will be there.
Surprised Toyota didnāt do composite research in-house like the LFA. I guess the $400k LFA price tag justifies them doing it, but not for a $60-$70k MKV. Makes sense to outsource composites R&D to keep the car attainable. Btw, the two companies I mentioned make the carbon fiber body parts for Lamborghini (just one of their many customers).Sounds like Toyota is keeping their word in regards to the Supra being less than 1500kg
What was it that Tada said about a Manual in the MKV?something about finer materialsSurprised Toyota didnāt do composite research in-house like the LFA.

Is it possible those companies are there for development on the GR Super Sport and not the supra?Surprised Toyota didnāt do composite research in-house like the LFA.

...very well might be.Is it possible those companies are there for development on the GR Super Sport and not the supra?
Or it's possible those companies could be there for both cars......very well might be.
If what I have heard is true about the serialized cars, those MKV Supraās will probably go down in history as the best Supraās ever produced.@PerformanceSound I have a question for you. Ever since youāve heard about these serialized cars, do you still think the MKV Supra isnāt worthy of the Supra nameplate?
Care to give any clues yet?...to point us in the right direction! HahaIf what I have heard is true about the serialized cars, those MKV Supraās will probably go down in history as the best Supraās ever produced.
