Chris Bailey Posted January 13, 2014 Share Posted January 13, 2014 I love how everyone wants one, And are saying they are going to buy one. They might not even put it into production! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scott Posted January 13, 2014 Share Posted January 13, 2014 I absolutely love this car. The engine looks like a straight 6 to me though, reminds me very much of the 2JZ top. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mellonman Posted January 13, 2014 Share Posted January 13, 2014 I love it however if it is the new supra or badged it needs to have a modern version of the iconic rear lights. Nissan kept it all the way through with the skyline. It will be very expensive though. But the mkiv was the only supra to have the lights like that?

supra_ufo Posted January 13, 2014 Share Posted January 13, 2014 But the mkiv was the only supra to have the lights like that? Very good point, MKIV is the greatest model so it makes sense to keep some of it alive Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sakey Posted January 13, 2014 Share Posted January 13, 2014 Wish they would stop making everything look like a f1 car... That "new supra" (which it isn't by the way, nobody official I've seen has even mentioned the word supra it's just the media) is as ugly as hell. Will probably (going off what little they have released so far) be too expensive (like the lfa but not the same league) Thought it was just me that doesn't really like it. Some angles it looks amazing and definitely better with the wing up but there are more angles that seem to let it down. Just feels a bit too fiddly overall for me.

BOB B Posted January 13, 2014 Share Posted January 13, 2014 Oh....My......God!!!! Wow, that's going to cost, if it is produced, and looks anything like that, I'll be looking to get a second hand one in about 15 years time. Or I may just sell our house.

Jurgen-Jm-Imports Posted January 13, 2014 Share Posted January 13, 2014 wow i love it and also the front end aswell ;-).. But i think it has to be price ranged at 50-80k to make it GTR marketable, but also must pack a punch at least 600bhp please.. Get the above right and then i would have a white one ;-) in time..

inazone Posted January 13, 2014 Share Posted January 13, 2014 Apparently $60k is the target price, even cheaper than the supe when released. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hassan Posted January 13, 2014 Share Posted January 13, 2014 That is one stunning car. As far as the engine goes and if the bmw/toyota partnership is to make a car together then this might have the Bmw m5/m6 4.4 V8 TwinTurbo engine in it.

Marcus GTE Posted January 13, 2014 Share Posted January 13, 2014 (edited) Been looking forward to seeing what they would show today. Genuinely excited by it. Think the angle looking down on it from behind really shows how flaired the rear arches are. I was wondering if the fans on the front were an aero component rather than for cooling. Probably wrong but it put me in mind of that ultimate race car Adrian Newey designed that had fans on it that manipulated airflow to aid downforce. It might direct airflow to the under tray, tying in with the rear defuser. They stated its been formed by the wind and I love how every curve and duct will have a function as well as looking great. The functional design and active aero has supra DNA in it and that's really important. With regards to power plant; I agree with other comments that the 2jz won't be matched with its over engineering that was in part due to making sure the embarrassment of the 7M-GE/ 7M-GTE MKIII engines head gasket failure issue wouldn't reoccur. Also in these economically challenging times, partnerships between companies are becoming more common to reduce costs, and this is why I was expecting the new Supra (wich I'm pretty sure they'll call it) to have the BMW/Toyota inline 6/hybrid engine they are talking about developing together (has there been a statement on the engine yet?) it would take some time for the concept to be adjusted for market, just like it would take time to develop its engine. Think NA with later turbo option too as previously stated. The developers will be monitoring forums like this for feedback so I say to them, good work and get it made! I'll take a test drive or 5 from the dealership when it comes out, but will prob need to wait 15 years+ to own one like I did with the MKIV Edited January 13, 2014 by Marcus GTE (see edit history) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dnk Posted January 13, 2014 Share Posted January 13, 2014 Apparently $60k is the target price, even cheaper than the supe when released. Find that hard to believe, £37k !!! but if true put me down for one in Black please. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lee P Posted January 13, 2014 Share Posted January 13, 2014 I really like it If its $60,000 then it will be around £60,000 over here which is probably better than expected. Will just have to wait and see. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bondango Posted January 13, 2014 Share Posted January 13, 2014 they keep hinting and mentioning the classic Straight 6 layout, maybe they have taken the 2JZ-FSE design principals forward with todays technology... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
j_jza80 Posted January 13, 2014 Share Posted January 13, 2014 Unless they're using a BMW engine, or a tiny bespoke I6, it'll be a Vee engine Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
listy Posted January 13, 2014 Share Posted January 13, 2014 Find that hard to believe, £37k !!! but if true put me down for one in Black please. A lot of cars are marked up for the UK market. Think of the (I think it was) the Dodge Charger when the last one was released. That was circa $40000 in the US. To buy one here was something silly like £45000. So, if the US market is looking at circa $60k, I'd expect to see it being priced around £60-70k in the UK. EDIT: Beaten by Mr SRD Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
listy Posted January 13, 2014 Share Posted January 13, 2014 Any news yet on the drive wheels? Are they going RWD or 4WD? Maybe they will go for an intelligent system with say 30% front 70% rear drive, with the elecktrickery bits adding drive to the front when needed. That may be a good way to keep the "RWD" feel, but the control and traction of a 4WD set up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
