The mkiv Supra Owners Club

Is this a repost? CAR magazine suggest a new Supra maybe on the cards?

If you weren't a mod I'd go tell you to sit in the corner until you retract that horrible statement of a possibility. Next it'd have a diesel option (I'd only accept that if they were entering it in the LM 24h)

 

There's a 911 hybrid coming later in the 991 product cycle ;)

Also, get familiar with this car because it's coming soon to a track near you. Normal power to start with, then when the hybrid modules come down in price a bit we'll be able to play F1 driver with our very own 80bhp of KERS :)

I wouldn't expect massive power this time around - it'll be lighter and more efficient, just like everything these days. Perhaps even hybrid.

 

R35 springs to mind. Not really lighter or more efficient than the last one. Im hoping they try to compete with that without the LFA price tag.

Sounds promising! Dont think it'd be able to compete with the GTR tho... but wouldn't be surprised if a lot of the tech from the LF-A drifted down into the Supra.

 

That car on the Pistonheads page is so close to my reg ... give or take a few letters - I'm starting to wonder if it is my car lol!

I'm not sure whether it's a good thing or not!? If built correctly and with the same vigour as the mkiv then I'd be all for it, but if it's built and is a complete flop, then all it will do is tarnish the Supra name! Let's face it, besides the insanely priced LFA Toyota hasnt produced a decent sports car since 2002!

Well if this is anything to go off then I think the prospects are good.

I quite like the direction Toyota are taking once more and even catering for tuners!

 

Stunning! :drool: That rear is gorgeous. Just like the original. ;)

 

I wonder if there'll be a body kit available to make your mkiv look like the FT-86, as it should be possible. That'll get people talking. :)
