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.

400K... Toyota badge or not, it's better than the LFA, so it will cost more. Unless they totally dumb down the production model.

Ya never know with Toyota, but that would be a staggering mistake on their part unless they really want to mirror the inordinate disparity in wealth in the US with their car line up.

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...

Jordo! 08-14-2014 07:58 PM

All that said... drooooolllll :yum:

Jordo! 08-14-2014 08:51 PM

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

:confused: where did you get this info?

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

The MKIV Supra Turbo was around $41k in 1998. Adjusted for 2014, that car would've sold for near $60k. So I doubt this car will come in below $50k unless it's a stripper. And to be honest I think that's a good thing

Jordo! 08-15-2014 03:52 AM

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.
