Compared to them this one is much smaller. But I am told it's deliberate to be more compact because it packs one hell of a punch.

335hp and an 8-speed auto? I figured it would have more power and a manual trans. At 3,284 pounds it should be pretty quick, but shit, a C6 Corvette ZO6 comes with 505hp and a similar curb weight, so honestly, I am not too blown away with the power to weight. Just thought it would have over 500hp given that the GT-R is a monster from the factory.

Saw the supra today in camo (along with 2 BMW's in camo X2 & X3 I believe) while hauling ass in the Malibu canyons. Looked literally like a Miata hardtop. Let's see what the final product is.

I owned a 1994 supra from 1995 to 2013 and this new version is dog shit, sadly. They castrated this car and its a sorry excuse for a Supra. This is my .02...and it means nothing.

I owned a mkiv and waited years for the ft1 to become a reality... concept was awesome... this new Supra underwhelms if it looks like the pic above. I would go the bmw route. If it looked exactly like the concept
Reminds me what Toyota did to the MR-2... fucked it up |

Seems like they're making a 370Z competitor rather than a 911/Corvette/F-Type etc.
Yes, Toyota might be able to sell more of them due to a lower price, but it's not what the Supra was in the past. This looks like it's going to be the NSX all over again, only in the other direction. Meaning, the original NSX was bare bones, dependable exotic that was a revelation in the exotic car world. Today's NSX is overly complicated for the sake of being complicated and it's $200K. Does it out perform the cars in its class? No. What would the NSX be if it got rid of the fancy AWD electric hybrid system? It would be a 3400lbs. 500HP TT-V6 that would be a blast to drive and probably cost $50-80K less than it does now. Then it would be a 911GTS competitor and it'd be easier to make an R-version that would compete against the GT3RS. Toyota is watering down the Supra. The specs are close to what it was in 1997. Where's the progress? Disappointing.

Isn't that rendering just the FT1 with the rear brake vents removed?
Edit - just double checked, it's actually pretty revised. Removed the "Stingray" rear end, adjusted the front bumper to match the current protos and even seems to shorten the window profile to match the protos. Not bad, still almost comically over styled, but better than the FT1. |
