Not offering the Supra with a manual transmission is like a ThinkPad without the classic keyboard.
Oh wait... |

The lack of a manual option would be a deal killer for me as well.

an article was posted over at SupraMKV claiming that there will be a NA I6 model with a $45k price tag.

no, you are correct. BMW no longer makes NA motors. im not an engineer, and there is probably a little more work then this, but some are arguing that it should n't be that hard to just to take off the turbos, redesign the intake manifold and tune the ECU.

Yea it is plausible, but why make seperate manifold jigs, head casts, assembly lines, etc when they could just use a turbo four cylinder from an existing platform? The only reason is tradition maybe. I love straight sixes, so a turbo four and a straight six would be a toss up, but most would probably pick a turbo four over a straight six. Hasn’t Ford dropped the V6 Mustang, as an example of this trend?

On a slightly different note. If Toyota wants to keep the bell chime from BMW in the Supra I wouldn't be disappointed. It's actually quite pleasing to my ears.

Hmm....now I'm wondering if this is a euro spec number w/o crash or safety add-ons.... Yeah, I'll just go back to anticipating a 3.5k lb land whale just in case. Last edited by abraxis; 05-27-2018 at 01:11 AM. |
