Suprab1 Posted November 16, 2012 Share Posted November 16, 2012 Just read auto express & the man in charge of the GT86 admits there will be a new supra (page 23 left side article). This is why he's not keen to turbo/supercharge the 86. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Abz Posted November 16, 2012 Share Posted November 16, 2012 If they can achieve anything like the mkiv in it's time then it will be astonishing!! To think these cars 20 years later are still setting the records is a tribute in its own. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
listy Posted November 16, 2012 Share Posted November 16, 2012 Haven't I heard that toyota have teamed up with BMW to design and build several electric/hybrid cars, and a sports car? Imagine a mkv with the capabilities of an M5, and maybe more....... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guigsy Posted November 17, 2012 Share Posted November 17, 2012 Would be good imagine a gt86 like car with a BMW V8 or I6 based engine rather than that piss poor flat4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Porky1978 Posted November 17, 2012 Share Posted November 17, 2012 Haven't I heard that toyota have teamed up with BMW to design and build several electric/hybrid cars, and a sports car? Imagine a mkv with the capabilities of an M5, and maybe more....... Toyota have done a deal or two with BMW. The new Auris diesel engine (1.8 or 2.0 litre) is a BMW unit in exchange for some of Toyotas world class Hybrid technology. You will soon be seeing, if you haven't already, a hybrid BMW that is FRONT WHEEL DRIVE!!! So it wouldn't surprise me if they were to collaborate on a sports car at all.

Brazil Posted November 17, 2012 Share Posted November 17, 2012 If a Supra MKV came out, I would do so buy one..! I would also still like to keep my current one; It would be nice to keep them together..! :-) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

adnanshah247 Posted November 17, 2012 Share Posted November 17, 2012 My guess:- 4.7litre v8 twin turbo with a 9v fire alarm battery in the boot so u can call it a hybrid and stick ur middle finger up to the road tax man I don't know why but something about landcruiser amazon engine keeps coming to mind.

I wouldn't trust anything you read in Autocar/Express no matter how legit it seems. You never really hear anything else about half the things that gets mentioned there.

alex2jz Posted November 17, 2012 Share Posted November 17, 2012 I really hope that the MKV is going to be something very special ( though i highly doubt it, knowing Toyota these days). It would be funny to see all the "traitors" ditching their GT-R's for the new Supra. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Swampy442 Posted November 17, 2012 Share Posted November 17, 2012 Who will it be aimed at? What price range? Who will buy it? Im guessing the GT-R which will put it squarely on the back foot straight away. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My hopes are not very high though ! 20 years later, Toyota has really lost it's touch in everything. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bondango Posted November 17, 2012 Share Posted November 17, 2012 "I think current hybrid technology is not good for road sports cars,” FR-S chief engineer Tetsuya Tada said during an interview with Top Gear. The Scion FR-S has reminded the buying public that Toyota can make spectacular sports cars. With the limited power and small footprint of the FR-S, there is a tremendous opening in the automaker’s product line for a larger and more powerful sports car. The FR-S features various references to the classic AE-86, this hole could be filled by a car with an even more important model name from Toyota’s past: the Supra. Tada does mention his “next sports car.” When describing the next car he says ”I want to make a big… ‘wow.’ I want to give the world a shock.” When asked directly about a new Supra, Tada says “Of course, anything is possible.” Yoshinori Sasaki, another engineer associated with the FR-S said, “It’ll be a different avenue of sports car from the GT 86.” He is adamant that this new Supra will use a pure gasoline drivetrain. Sasaki also stresses their support of the Supra’s traditional front-engine rear-drive layout, ”rear-engined, rear-driven cars – and even mid-ship designs – are OK. But if you want to make an enjoyable sports car, it should be front-engined, rear-drive.” The UR generation of engines with some form of forced induction are a likely candidate IMHO Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
