Toyota "Preparing" Hotter Supra GRMN, Says Chief Engineer

[SupraNews]

the new GT4 Rs will be amazing I bet the list is long for the allotments.


My friend paid right at 6 figures for his gently used 2016 gt4. It is not as fast as my modded Supra. But it is typical Pcar perfection and hearing that engine scream behind your head is intoxicating. His is manual and really really good on the track and of course a joy to run around town.

I have a friend selling his low hour GT3 but in this time it is priced above what I am willing to pay.

whether the GRMN is real or not in a year or so I seriously thinking about a caged M2 CSR, but it is not road legal or some Porsche- cayman gt4 or gt3. Just depends on funds....

If you want one I can get allocations and off market for anything let me know. There is some hoops to jump through though.

Hope it looks better than that because that's ugly as shit.

I agree.. if it looks like that, it'll be a hard pass.

100% agree. The options make the car look like a cheap riced out Honda. The wheels are the only thing that I kind of like.

Thanks for sharing but looks like clickbait with a pretty arbitrary (and awful) render.

There will be a final edition but even I don't know any details yet.

This is just another version with the same source that was posted a few comments before.

Besides I doubt M Power would share S58 engine, it's hard to believe Toyota to use DCT gearbox that already dropped by BMW.

These low volume cars do nothing for me. I tried my hardest to get an allocation for the new Vantage and this is going to be more of the same shit.

Even if you have a "deposit", if your dealership gets 0 allocations then you're out of luck. Even if they get 1 or 2 allocations your deposit means jack shit.

If the GRMN ever comes to fruition, the most action 90% of these cars will ever see is a ride to cars and coffee.

If you can't tell, I'm pretty salty at the moment.

Exactly - Toyota literal sells a race car version of this car and how many on the forum own one of them?

This is also how I got the Supra... had an allocation for a GT3 and was passed up. I'm pretty sure they marked the car up double and went with someone else who would pay it. They offered a 911T or a 781 GT4. Whole experience pissed me off and still salty. Happily went to Toyota afterwards.


As for the GT4. A track only car isn't very usable to me these days. I've got a BRZ that I went that route already in the garage I'm thinking of selling.

A GRMN that can be dual purposed is not really the same market as the Supra GT4

Were they offering the 718 GT4 at MSRP or were they also going to charge ADM on that? Just out of curiosity, other than the experience (and obviously cost), is there a reason you went Supra over the 718 GT4? That imo is a perfect dual purpose car. I'd pick one up if i could find one in my spec without ADM or even used reasonably priced, but i've pretty much accepted thats not going to happen in the current market .
