I'm fully prepared to laugh my *** off if this is really the next-gen GT86.

Everyone keeps calling it a Supra, but after 20 years of waiting for this to happen... I'm mentally prepared for the ultimate troll job. But hey... I've been plenty wrong before :)

It looks like it has potential, regardless - the first thing I would do is Kate Beckinsale that thing and give it a proper nose job. Then... PRISTINE.

Like it says in the article, with that much camo on the front-end I am skeptical that it will be that round. Everything backwards on look awesome.

Wow I hope it does look like this, cross between a TVR/FT-01. Start saving up people. Hope its within my price range.

All this crap is over the new GT86. Watch and see.

Don't think bmw and Toyota are doing a cross hybrid super sports car and badge it a low bargain basement gt86:rolleyes: lol no offense on the gt86 its a great entry sports car, but this is big news since the legendary supra is making a return.

I'm going to laugh my *** off if they release this car and the ecu is locked down tighter than a nun's panties like all other recent toyota cars. What's the point of a stock Supra?

I have been saying that for the last couple months. We are in complete agreement.

This has me a bit concerned about the supposed hybrid option of the supposed Supra. I wouldn't care if it was quiet, but the artificial engine sound enhancement really bugs me (as in the M2, M4 and now LC):

Lexus LC Reviews - Lexus LC Price, Photos, and Specs - Car and Driver

As usual, the Lexus is a beautiful car, but it is SOOOO heavy.

nomodsjk 12-10-2016 11:07 PM

I want one...i dont care about the details. If it looks anything like those pics I'll buy one. That interior looks amg expensive tho but those seats especially look expensive. They're beautiful tho

UNKNOWN_370 12-11-2016 07:46 AM

For $100K. That LC is a no go... At that money idvrather have something that growls. Give me an Alfa Giulia or a Jaguar Type R. Honestly.... I'd still pick a GTR, just upgrade to a titanium downpipe and straight pipe making it louder.

No thanks.

I like it but those chrome wheels are gross! Its like a mini LFA priced down. I have seen videos and that V8 sounds glorious.

I agree completely! Lexus wheels are the worst since they seem to try the most odd, chromed-out and complex designs.

UNKNOWN_370 12-12-2016 11:52 AM

It is a good looking car tho. I'll give it that much

Jordo! 12-12-2016 05:48 PM

A 10 speed AT??? Is it secretly a performance CVT or something? That's a lot of gears to play with for a ride to the grocery store...

Unfortunately cars today are sold based on amount of cameras and amount of gears in the AT. The more, the better. Most buyers no longer care about the engine, steering feel, etc.

I read about a survey recently sent to BMW drivers and the majority of them had no idea what engine (amount of cylinders and size) their car had!

Weren't they the car manufacturers who got rid of oil dipsticks?

If so, not being sure about the engine, or even where the engine is hiding under all the plastic shrouds, isn't that surprising...

Ha.... you rested my case on electric steering and handbrake rants. That's why I see our current Z's as the best cars on the road. Real handbrake. Real feedback, real handbrake. Real handling capability.

No assistance, no ********. VDC for stability under harsh conditions. Awesome car. I'd love to see Nissan with a new design, new engine, flatter stock handling, but everything that made this Z hot.

I do, and I still don't necessarily want as many gears as I have fingers... :icon14:

So I was reading about the Toyota Mirai just because I am an inquisitive guy and found some interesting tidbits that MAY be of great benefit to the upcoming Supra and GT86.

http://www.autonews.com/article/2013...on-fiber-foray

On the flip side, if Toyota were making their own carbon fiber, why the hell don't they use it in the Lexus RC-F???

2020 Toyota GT86 And Subaru BRZ Replacements Expected To Receive Hybrid Tech - autoevolution

Toyota may ruin the GT86 with a hybrid setup for 2019 instead of just GOING TURBO!!!

**** hybrid. If the Z stays as analog as our cars, just with a streamlined infotainment system in the family of the Alfa Giulia, keep hydraulic steering, keep the hand brake, save a minimum of 200 real world pounds and lower the center of gravity with a futuristic retro look and the q50/60 sport engine.... The Z will be undefeatable as an overall sports car.

Build it dammit!!! BUILD IT!!!!

That is a BRZ. No way that is a Supra.

If you're right? I'd die laughing at every Toyota owner around the world. They been calling this thing a Supra since the 20!3 FT-1 concept. :koolaidwall:

ZoomZ 01-25-2017 09:29 AM

I understand it's still concept, but it's UGLY! even as a concept.
