Which were all before it was a global brandlook at all other GRMN models. limited, low volume numbers, not sold outside japan
More like "how much can I mark up this car?"Not to mention 200 units seems very 'stay up all night and order fast'
Fingers crossed that it happensMore potentially juicy tidbits...

I like what they’re saying, and for sure a manual 2.0L is easy for them to put into production. Seems the S58 powered GRMN would have an easy time getting the new M3’s manual gearbox as well.... but Tada has always wanted that to be a DCT apparently. Still, the possibility exists for all its high markup and low volume attainability.More potentially juicy tidbits...

If they give 2.0 a manual thats what I may go for, I hope manual will weight less than 8ZF too.I like what they’re saying, and for sure a manual 2.0L is easy for them to put into production.

The real winner will be a volume production B58D 3.0 Supra with a six speed manual AND a 6-speed manual available on the 2.0 as well.
At the very least a regular Supra 3.0 available with a manual since that is the combination most people want. However I hope more than one model trim will get a manual option. The car will only be produced for a few years and it’s the last generation that can have manuals so I hope Toyota makes these variants attainable for people.
It probably will weigh less. But... you’ll also need to add after purchase: an aftermarket or compatible BMW LSD rear end, Supra 3.0L front brakes and the 3.0L suspension or some aftermarket suspension.If they give 2.0 a manual thats what I may go for, I hope manual will weight less than 8ZF too.
May 2023 debut
Supra has recovered for the first time in 17 years in May 2019. Of course, it is expected that the GRMN model will be set up, but in the spring of 2020, the 3L, straight 6 turbo car drastically improved its power, and on the contrary, its existence was questioned.
However, Supra GRMN will definitely appear. Of course the base is the straight 6, 3L turbo model.
The maximum output is 520ps and the maximum torque is also increased to about 62kg. The transmission is planned to be combined with the 7-speed DCT used by BMW's current M2 and M4.
Supra GRMN, which is expected to appear at a price of 12 million yen in 2023. There is a story that it is limited to 200 units, so if you want it, let's save money from now on.
Can the BMW DCT be mated to a B58? If not, that confirms the S58 too.
The S58 doesn't have a DCT either. But with that being said, anything can be mated to anything.Can the BMW DCT be mated to a B58? If not, that confirms the S58 too.
I hope they change that front fascia though.
The 200 units will be for Japan. If we get it, it'll most likely be a higher run.
Wasn't sure if the B had a different housing to the S.The S58 doesn't have a DCT either. But with that being said, anything can be mated to anything.
