Now this looks exciting! Pitched at exactly the right market for a new Supra, too. It'll have to be better than the class-leaders - the 911 and Jaguar F-Type.

 

Love the idea of the straight-six TT engine in there! Sounds like it'll be hybrid too, which is a good thing. A 150bhp boost will be nice. The only thing I'm not sure about is the auto 'box, but judging on how successful the previous model was as an auto I suppose it's not surprising.

 

I'm a big fan of the weight (relatively similar to mkiv) and it sounds like it has potential in terms of brakes and suspension too.

Sounds interesting... still dont like the idea of there being a similar car with a different badge on it, like like the Subaru/Toyota team up for the GT86.. both are equally good Im sure, but theres something not right about it lol. I appreciate the car will have lots of BMW influence and that will be a good thing Im sure.
