Looks like my next project car.

500hp inline 6(likely turbo).....RWD.....Light.....I like these. Please NO electric helper motor(s).
If they tone down the gawdy looks on this, I may be in. It's a bit much, it is in red, but the z06 c7 is going to give it hell. Keep it around 80-100k, lose the vents on vents on vents and daddy likes. R36 has some work cut out for it. Not too bad. Glad to see toyota fighting back, the camry/prius identity is pretty crappy imo. That body tho....eww, I can see it getting toned and real sexy. I really do not want to drive a formula car all day..hah. 2016 is a great time to be in the market for a supercar! |
I really like this concept. Maybe a little more subdued front end but if they adhere to the FT1 for the supra, Toyota well have a winner.

perfection. Love that color.

simply wow...
|
p-zeros? wtf... :icon08:

I want the cockpit and wheel!
So $100,000? $200,000k |

Slow and/or reliable carts for the peasants; underperforming but exquisite super cars for the super-wealthy. I will hate Toyota forever if they do that, having barely gotten over my massive disappointment on the FR-S... Toyota is ready for a 40K-ish car that will match or spank the Z, and give the higher end pony cars a run for the money (substituting raw power for high reliability and good looks, as usual...) Based on the underperfoming, staggeringly overpriced LF-A, there is no way they will be able to catch the Corvette or GT-R at a reasonable pricepoint, and they don't need two cars that only the Koch brothers et al and Jay Leno can afford. If they really want to make a proper Supra, in keeping with the previous model, adjusted for 2014 values, it should come in under 50K loaded, if memory serves... We'll see... |
All that said... drooooolllll :yum:

Oh, in support of my "Maybe Toyota will actually compete with the Z etc." argument, latest rumor is 260 kilowatts = ~350 hp

This car will be no where near the LFA. It will most likely be in the $80-$100k range according to most articles |

Whoops... my estimates were off and a bit optimistic. So after killing some time on ye olde internete:
The original 1998 MSRP's allegedly ranged from $31,078.00 (base) to $38,778.00 (turbo auto). 1998 Toyota Supra - AutoTrader.com That's a range of roughly $45,445.00 to $56,705.00 in 2014 dollars, give or take some pocket change. Inflation Calculator: Bureau of Labor Statistics Too much for the base model -- they couldn't sell it then at that price, so it will have to come down a bit. I could see them getting a N/A 350 bhp version out around $40K and a super-wazoo boosted model nudging over $55K -- but that one will have to really fly. On that note, the 1996 ZX was supposedly ranging from $37,439.00 to $45,579.00 (much more than the Supra!) so it is indeed possible for Toyota to follow the same path Nissan did with the Z after its hiatus and keep the bang for the buck factor high. http://www.autotrader.com/1996-Nissa...?modelId=11012 |
