Ric, without ads no car website would be able to function. It's what pays our bills. Just allow the ads on that site only. It won't hurt. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bobbeh Posted September 20, 2018 Share Posted September 20, 2018 I had a long chat about it with Ben (who wrote that article) yesterday. It sounds like they've nailed the concept of building a standard replacement for the mk4. The GRNM version is going to be wild, by all accounts. Only thing slightly concerning is lack of passenger space due to design constraints, but I need to sit in it myself to comment about that. Would be a bit daft if the passenger area was too small - having said that the MK4 wasnt great in that respect, sure the footwell is smaller.

JasonR24 Posted October 2, 2018 Share Posted October 2, 2018 (edited) Just seen on the Supra mk5 page on Facebook that the Germans will be able to put reservations on the new Supra on Toyota.de/Supra as of tonight at 8pm?! Is this true? Edited October 2, 2018 by JasonR24 (see edit history) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gaz6002 Posted October 2, 2018 Share Posted October 2, 2018 Just seen on the Supra mk5 page on Facebook that the Germans will be a lemon to put reservations on the new Supra as of tonight at 8pm?!

Nice I had a feeling Tada would not let us down, 50k that's cheaper than everyone was expecting isn't it GRNM version probably be more expensive but new at 50k if they stick to mass producing these as they said then this could be interesting. So 50/50 weight body as rigid as a LFA lower centre of gravity than a gt86 weight adjustable steering dct shift settings adaptive damper settings electric diff ratio control settings and lots of holes in the chassis/body for what I guess probably TRD parts galore Its a good start for sure and at least part prices for the mk5 / TRD parts will be back to a normal price can get a TRD steering wheel brand new for a gt86 for £430 Edited October 2, 2018 by chazuk (see edit history) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
el_bandido Posted October 2, 2018 Share Posted October 2, 2018 electric diff ratio control settings I've not seen anything about the ratio of the diff being variable, only the locking settings. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gaz6002 Posted October 2, 2018 Share Posted October 2, 2018 I've not seen anything about the ratio of the diff being variable, only the locking settings. If it's the same diff as the Z4 (which I'm not sure about) then it's the same in terms of operation and software logic as the current M5's.

chazuk Posted October 3, 2018 Share Posted October 3, 2018 I've not seen anything about the ratio of the diff being variable, only the locking settings. In that link ric posted “eight-speed paddleshift auto and an active differential (an e-motor wind the diff’s ratio up and down via a reduction gear)” Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
el_bandido Posted October 3, 2018 Share Posted October 3, 2018 I'll believe that when I see it. Varying your final drive essentially gives you another set of gears, so I don't really see the logic in having 8 speeds and a variable final drive. It probably means the e-motor varies the locking/speed for each rear wheel. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JasonR24 Posted October 4, 2018 Share Posted October 4, 2018 Just seen on the German Toyota page that Germany are getting 300 of the 900 Supra’s for Europe and can reserve them now. Seems a bit unfair Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bobbeh Posted October 4, 2018 Share Posted October 4, 2018 Bigger market than ours... 900 seems like low volumes for Europe. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

el_bandido Posted October 5, 2018 Share Posted October 5, 2018 That site also suggests that there will be two 4 cylinder variants and only the top spec getting a straight 6. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bobbeh Posted October 5, 2018 Share Posted October 5, 2018 I was really hoping the wheels on the car weren't the finished ones. Guess they are I cant believe they're offering a version with 17's!? Anyway wheels are usually first thing to be replaced on a car, I wonder of this has been designed with the tuner in mind. Give them a cheap 17" option for those who want to swap em over.

I can't imagine that's the thinking; the 17" wheel car will come with smaller brakes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
