SupraLEDrears Posted January 1, 2017 Share Posted January 1, 2017 10 speed!? what kind of power figures we talking here? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mc92 Posted January 1, 2017 Share Posted January 1, 2017 I don't like that they used an entire chainlink fence for the grille. It is far too big. Other than that it looks like a cool car. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
j_jza80 Posted January 1, 2017 Share Posted January 1, 2017 Much more akin to the mkiv Supra it is to the Soarer IMO. Probably more like a Supra than the new Supra will be. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alex_GT Posted January 1, 2017 Share Posted January 1, 2017 Absurdly priced too no doubt. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Josh42 Posted January 2, 2017 Share Posted January 2, 2017 Looks just right to me. Like all Lexus' will be incredibly well equipped too from standard. I can't wait for it to be released to see them on the road Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mellonman Posted January 2, 2017 Share Posted January 2, 2017 Much more akin to the mkiv Supra it is to the Soarer IMO. Probably more like a Supra than the new Supra will be. Was going to say could of passed for the supra successor with a wing and turbo . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
David P Posted January 2, 2017 Share Posted January 2, 2017 Was going to say could of passed for the supra successor with a wing and turbo . Nail a Whipple on it and it'd then need the wing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SPG Posted January 2, 2017 Share Posted January 2, 2017 $90,000 OTR In the USA, usually ends up being £90,000 OTR here in the U.K. Nice looking car all the same. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kendo11 Posted January 2, 2017 Share Posted January 2, 2017 Is that actually confirmed? Looks very concept car like. Absolutely stunning though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cered Posted January 2, 2017 Share Posted January 2, 2017 Now Toyota need to make a V6/8 turbo powered platform share car for $30k less and less luxury/equipment but more handling focused Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
j_jza80 Posted January 2, 2017 Share Posted January 2, 2017 Please, not a turbo v6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Havard Posted January 2, 2017 Share Posted January 2, 2017 Great looking car and one I would consider until the auto gearbox was mentioned. GT4 it is then...!! Looks like the days of the manual gearbox are numbered unless you want to stay around 350Hp. H. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cered Posted January 2, 2017 Share Posted January 2, 2017 Please, not a turbo v6 Four words.... Alfa Romeo Guilia Quadroqueefio, sub 4second 0-60 and Alfa say it's good for 30mpg+ (although knowing Alfa no one's actually measured they just looked at someone elses twin turbo V6 which gets 32mpg and they assume their 510BHP one will get that too...) If the new Supra has got less than 5cylinders I'm buying a Fiat 500XL and calling my interest in cars a day Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If the new Supra has got less than 5cylinders I'm buying a Fiat 500XL and calling my interest in cars a day Nissan R35 GTR beats those figures comfortably, but that doesn't stop it sounding like a wet fart. I'm yet to hear a modern turbo v6 that sounds half decent. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Havard Posted January 2, 2017 Share Posted January 2, 2017 The days of cars as we know and love then are numbered with most big cities looking to ban all diesels and most likely big old petrols by 2030 Oh so with a 3.0 Petrol, 3.2 Litre petrol and 2 x 2.2 Diesels, looks like I will be staying in more rural parts then...!! Maybe a 3.8 litre Porsche is not a good idea. I heard this week that the ozone layer had repaired itself. H. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
k222bye Posted January 2, 2017 Author Share Posted January 2, 2017 10 speed!? what kind of power figures we talking here? 471bhp and 371 lb/ft torque. But this is the thing. This is the "normal version". There will probably be a Lexus LCF. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

From the spy shots of the new Supra im not all that excited about. Also i don't know how to feel about there being a BMW engine in the car or anything to do with BMW in the car. I would rather they called the "New supra" a Toyota FT-1 rather than ruin the legendary Supra name. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
formatzero Posted January 2, 2017 Share Posted January 2, 2017 Like that a lot,sat in a few Lexus models at the Ignition festival in Glasgow last year and was well impressed with the quality! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
