2018 Toyota Supra

/Angelo350Z/

There's no recent Toyota, Lexus included, that I find attractive. I like where Infiniti's going with the Q car exterior though.

Btw the top version of the Toyota Supra apparently comes with 335hp...

And when the top version comes out and gets all the praise about 335hp I bet they compare it to a base model z34 then proceed to say how "dated" the Z and VQ platform is

By all means, believe everything you read on the internet.

Regardless I find it entertaining that people on a forum devoted to a sports car, who many probably own the said sports car don't understand the concept of a sports car. By all means, fixate on a HP number that someone pulled out of their *** and base conclusions on that.

Seeing the real head and tail lights reveals just how well they have camouflaged it. It is like a supermodel with a burka on...I want to see what is underneath so badly!

Careful what you wish for - just because someone on a website SAID she's a supermodel, doesn't mean you REALLY want to look under that burqa!

OK, go ahead, but I warned you....

Well, if they manage to get 335HP out of a tuned SC or turbo 4 on this one, and the car weighs 500 lbs less than the 370Z, then they may still have something to talk about. I can dream, can't I???

Good point! I think it is safe to assume that whatever is under the camo is a toned down, less concepty FT-1 body. But, with that being said, I love the proportions and the fact that there are no +2 seats (it reminds me of another Japanese sports car that we all love). I am not sure what to think about IF they only offer in an automatic, but as already mentioned, if it is a DCT I would be Ok with that if they offer a manual shift paddle mode.

For comparison sake, the M2 has 365HP and 343LbFt and is 3450Lbs and from what I hear is the best M car that is offered currently. If Toyota/BMW can reduce that weight to below 3000Lbs (the 86 is 2754Lbs) that would be fantastic even with "lowly" turbo 335HP.

As far as a hybrid AWD option, the Prius is 3000Lbs even with those heavy batteries. Not a true sports car, but neither is the GTR.

I mean, the z34 and VQ are dated....

Still somewhat competitive but ancient by car standards now a days

Just because something is newer and more technical doesn't mean it's better than something 'dated'. Best examples are the A-10A and B-52H.

Yes, that's exactly what it means. The Z is based on an old chassis and is powered by an engine that doesn't utilize any of the newest technologies available today. It is certainly dated, by car standards but it is also remains pretty competitive and offers a great driving experience.
