New Toyota Supra

I like it.

I've seen a lot of negatives about it on the internet, stating its just a BMW Z4 and it doesn't have the correct engine (not a 2JZ-GTE, but that old lump, as good as it is, wouldn't meet modern emission standards).

But that makes sense given the cost of starting from scratch ( I don't remember anyone complaining that the GT86 was co-developed with Subaru).

The old Mk4 Twin Turbo is on my list of cars I wished id owned.
 
If it's anything like as much fun as its 197 bhp little brother it'll be great.



I've always considered a Cayman to be a GT86 on steroids. The Supra probably fits that description better. :thumbs:

My best mate back home has a tuning shop specialising in these
Turbo/Supercharger kits can extract big numbers on the dyno. Would scare most Turbos
 
Needs more power....
 
It's a grower... didn't like it this morning, love it now!
 
I feel it's a lot of money.

It looks fair in the context of the 4 cyl F Type, Alpine and 718. Much better spec and 6 cylinder.

But another thing... shame its not a 2+2 like every Supra before it. There seem to be fewer and fewer 2+2s, meaning the 911 is increasingly the only game in town if you want a proper sports car shaped car with rear seats of sorts.

197 bhp + 215/45 tyres = great fun. For any more bhp I'd want fatter tyres which defeats the whole idea. Besides I've got a 997T for that. :grin:
 
Schmeeeeeee is getting one, according to the 'Gram, so reason enough to avoid.
