I think the 4 cylinder version will do very well here if they can price it right. I think some people might stretch their budget of 25-35k to 40k if it means getting a chance to own a Supra. It will be strange if it comes with less horsepower than the 86 though.

Not gonna lie, I would love to see 4 cylinder Supra come to US. What Tada-san claim, 4 cylinder ver (B46) have a true 50/50 F/R weight ratio... vs 6 cylinder ver (B58) is a bit front heavy. Adding the driver into the calculation makes it 50/50. (it might vary w driver weight) So it would be interesting to see which 50/50 F/R weight ratio is ideal for new Supra.
Also main test driver for new Supra claim, if he had a choice between 4 cyl or 6 cyl, he would choose 4 cyl. What's that mean? Not really sure but he was one of the student of Naruse, (who was the master driver for A80 Supra) so pretty sure he know things or two bout the Supra. |

Then there's the western marketing team that wouldn't know how to sell a 4 cylinder Supra that apparently makes 3 hp less while weighing a ton more than the 86 for more money. The arm chair sports car enthusiasts on the interweb would surely disapprove such a product at the first keystroke. Last edited by krayzie; 05-03-2019 at 07:38 PM. |

I'm more interested in the 4 cylinder than the 6. Less weight, better distributed, lower less $$$, likely tunable for plenty of power because turbo.
However I still think a cab-rearward 2-seater built on the FT86 platform with a 300+hp Lexus V6 would make a cooler sports car while filling a niche no one is even trying to fill at the moment... |

RZ, SZ-R & SZ all are 1,000,000 yen difference (roughly $10k). Let's say Toyota US follow same concept, 3.0 Premium cost $53,990, so we could see 4 cylinder Premium ver at $43,990. 3.0 Base cost $49,990, so we could see base 4 cylinder ver at $39,990. So around $40k~$44k for 255hp/295tq that barely under 3,200lbs. (1,450kg) That price is 370Z, Mustang, Camaro price point.. But they're boat! But they have a lot more power plus MT option. So in the end, you gotta pick your battle. Last edited by ichitaka05; 05-05-2019 at 10:35 AM. |

Not 6 cylinder ver... just my fat finger. B58 have 335hp/365tq vs B46 is 255hp/295tq. See the difference? I just accidentally pushed “3” instead of “2”

I'm more interested in the 4-cylinder Supra with potential for 300+ hp over the 6-cylinder with potential for 600+ or whatever. I would hope they start out with the 255hp version and not the 194hp one though! At 255hp I might just leave the powerplant alone for a good long while... Quote:

A90 chassis is a lot stiff/stronger than FT86 and better off using A90 chassis. Especially if you're looking into 300~400hp. |

Also, a dedicated 2-seater based on the FT86 would automatically be stiffer vs. FT86 anyway given a shorter wheelbase! |

An interesting interview with Tada-san on the Supra came out today in Jalopnik. Once of the best tidbits released had nothing to do with the Supra, but the 86:
