I think they are still testing the hybrid version...it sounds like theres almost no exhaust note. Reminds me of the sound of a hyundia sonata turbo....no exhaust note until you get to peek RPMs but its obvious theres a little something going on under the hood.

At least Toyota is letting us see something. We know a Supra is coming which is more than I can say for the Z35.

I don't care they make a hybrid as long as there's a powerful gas engine option. The 86 and supra are alive. That's great. 2 affordable coupes. Nissan could've been champions by bringing the Silvia or IDX to destroy the 86 and the Z as a supra killer. But Nissan is scared to make sports cars

Well, Toyota has been out of the big sports car seen for 15 years so yeah they are doing something, as for the supra being affordable, I doubt it. If it stays mid 50-60 k than yeah for its performance and tech its a killer sports car.

Your Move Mazda :ugh2:

Not really, they've been out of the affordable sport scene in all due reality until the FRS.... But they have been part of many projects with lotus and now this project is with BMW.

The LFA, and the ISF were compelling vehicles to many though the LFA was seriously overpriced. Then can the FRS, the RC and RCF. Just because you haven't been able to afford anything substantial they produced didn't mean they were out. It means they were worthless too to poorer people. The frs despite its feeble engine still a sports car.

Now finally they are producing something in our price range and interest


I'm sure the supra will start low and end high.

I wouldn't knock the 86/BRZ. It may not have huge numbers when it comes to HP, but I rode in a BRZ for a track session, and in the curves the thing was amazing. The C6 Z06 behind us was able to catch up on the straights, but was hapless when the corners came up. Of course the driver was an instructor, so that is 90% of the difference there.

I am dying to see the final production Supra so I can start figuring out which custom wheels will look the best on it.

Put Prius tires on anything fairly light n RWD n you'll get the same result. There's no science to a toyobaru.... it's kool they exist but I'm not going to bed wondering if I have to race a brz tomorrow on a track. Lol.

Next!!!

:icon18::iagree:

For what it is, I do appreciate it a lot, and glad that it exists like you. Let's hope that Toyota isn't conservative when it comes to the Supra's engine options like they were with the BRZ/FRS.

nope

Interesting the test car is running the Lexus F sport wheels.

And the rear end looks to be a far cry from the white concept car...darn it

IF this rendering looks anything like the production version, then it does look like a toned down FT-1. Looks great!

The New Toyota Supra Sure Sounds Like it Has a V6

Has anyone ever bought a high-demand, low production car like the will probably be? What did you have to do to get your place in line?

concept car looks good but im worried da production car is going to look like a :ugh2:

:roflpuke2:

:rofl2:

The shape looks great, and a lot of the renderings look good. Some of the renderings look terrible though. Hopefully they don't do something stupid like how they restyled another car that just came out...

This looks like a newer version of a 240z.. So this car will come out before the new Z. Then the toyomo's.will see our retro Z and say we copied off of them....


Go Nissan!!! :koolaidwall:

dat quarter panel just looks so mundane.. and front end is like wtf happened.. like a 95 prelude or something.

:iagree: At first look it does look like a prelude lol hideous..current Toyotas are all hideous, but this takes the cake.

I dunno. I like it. If Toyota makes that and it is around the same price and performance as the Z, looks like I'll (we'll?) have some serious thinking to do...

Ah geez! Call me old-school but electric motors and regenerative braking? No thanks. I like my sports cars simple and raw. I can accept ABS, traction control (as long as it can be turned off) and maybe a camera. That's it.

PS: The simplicity is what drew me to the Z.

dont forget hydraulic steering.


modern car made correctly = STI very old skool. i luv it. Z is kinda old..

2018 Toyota Supra News, Price, Specs, Engine, Spy Photos, MSRP

Where are you guys finding these final production version specs and pictures? Stop being greedy and share!

I totally agree with this but.... I think the STi already looks dated and it's fvckin new. But I respect the performance.

Oh yes. The steering is what got me hooked when I test drove my '16 Z. I have yet to drive an electric steering car that I like. I think that for now, it is physically impossible for electric steering to feel the same or better than hydraulic.

I just hope that the new Supra will not have steer-by-wire. Now that is a cluster f*ck and more manufacturers are going that route. It's supposed to be the next generation of steering systems that no one wants.

Electric steering feels artificial but on my GTI with ample torque, no torque steer is a good thing.

auto news

I monitor any news about the Supra daily, and there are absolutely no pictures or specs of the final production car. It is all speculation. That is the correct answer...prove me wrong.

I get what you're saying, but I feel it's really all very relative.

ABS, "ice mode", yaw control, VDC, electronically controlled fuel injection (and end user tunable!), navigation system (complete with its own ECU), syncro-rev matching and fly-by-wire, VVEL, etc.

If you think about it, the Z is anything but a simple car -- except in relation to cars with older tech.

Me personally? I would be fine with electric motors (if batteries didn't suck in countless ways). I like the idea of having full torque at 1 RPM, and cleaner air to boot.

I think the order of importance for me anyway is this: High performance that is fun to use, reliability so I don't get stranded, and affordable, so I can both enjoy the car and still pay the bills for everything else on time.

No way, give me a Ford Model T retrofitted with a steam engine!

I completely agree, and my wishful thinking is that Toyota will do something clever like hook the rear end to the engine with a traditional driveshaft/differential and hook up the electric motors to the front wheel transaxles. This will give you the best of both worlds: immediate torque under the heavy part of the car to eliminate the drawbacks of a traditional sports car (getting traction), but maintaining feel of a sports car in the corners at speed. Oh, then you get all the other benefits of the hybrid, but also the weight. If they do it right, I will be keeping my Z, but getting the Supra as my "practical" car.

Not that much more to see since they still have those faux panels riveted to the quarter panels, but I am digging the overall shape and size:

I hope the camoflauge is making the headlights look like a 98 Supra. So wack up front. But the back is nice
