the hype is still building....though it is interesting to read that Moto says they will use carbon/composites yet Tada said "And we haven't used any carbon in the body of this car; it's steel and aluminium. And that's because as long as we're introducing a sports car under the Toyota brand it must be affordable." perhaps Moto is maybe referring to carbon roof/lip? weird inconsistency nonetheless..
im still praying for 3100 lbs.. |

the car is such a beauty! since the A80 was discontinued when i was a kid, i didn't think i'd ever have a chance to own a modern supra. I'm also really thankful and glad tada san is at the helm of the project because he's done such a great job with the 86.

New Supra 4 cyl to replace the 86?
Just saw an article by Road and Track that indicated the new Toyota Supra will come out also in a smaller, lighter, better handling, 4 cylinder version internally known as the GT86. It will have a BMW 4cyl turbo engine and a ZF transmission. If this is the new GT86, the current Subaru version will be dropped. Why else name it "GT86"? Given what we've heard about pricing on the 6 cylinder version, I expect the pricing on this to be in the mid to high 30's with higher end trims in the mid-40's.

Looks like Tada finally confirmed the 2.0T option. Now if only we could get that with a manual...

I doubt it will be a replacement. And I doubt pricing will start that low.

I'm seeing two transmission choices for the 4-cylinder too.
