I wouldn't mind either of those two options, but I'd rather have something that normal people can afford. Maybe a bigger FT a twin turbo H6.

I love boxer engine and all, but if they gonna go for h6 twin turbo, I prefer they put v6 twin turbo instead.

Toyota's current V6s are designated "GR".

They replace their 6 cyl engines every ~8-10 years or so. If they can make a V10 as small as a their V6 and Lighter than their V8s, I'm really amped to see what they are going to come up with this time next year or year after.

If they made next Supra w v10 engine, I'm pretty sure I won't buy it... to be technical, I wouldn't be able to afford it.

New supra would compete with next gen M3/GT-R/Z06 so at least 60k not more than 85k. would proly use a version of the IS-F motor.

Oh p.s, i just cannot believe that ad, only 8000 miles, thats extremely low but if true, that would truly be amazing
66k tho... fugg that! My bad, the only Supra is the MKIV. Everything so far has been rumors.

If you took a direct analysis with inflation, a '98 Mk4 with a $43,000 dealer price would sell for roughly $56,000 today.

Edit Edit: If the FT-HS were released as the new Supra, today, it might actually be a bit higher of a pricetag. That car would be taunting some serious technology behind it. My hopes for Toyota in the near future are:
FT-86: entry level sports coupe
New Celica/MR-2: mid-level sports coupe (hopefully forever shaking off its FWD garbage)
New Supra: High-end, top of the line sports coupe.

A sports car for every market tier.

Were a supra released today it would either;
a) Cost around $30-$40K, forgo the Supra nameplate and revert to being a Z competitor
or
b) Cost Upward of $80K and rape pretty much everything this side of an LFA/458/Murci....

I think neither is likely to actually happen.
I agree with the masses! It would definitely float around the same price tag as a GTR and will have probably be as technologically advanced as the GTR.

Bless the day they bring back all the 90's cars!!

The IS-F comes in at $59K. Why in the world would they position a Toyota above a Lexus. That makes no sense.

The J block is iron. No way would they reuse it.

Wide valve angle heads ("G") are dead for turbo applications. It's all narrow angle now ("F"). A turbo motor would definitely use direct injection, so there needs to be an "S" in there.

In the highly unlikely event they were to go twin turbo, it would be a 2GR-FSTE.

But why in the world would they develop that whole new motor rather than just use the excellent 2UR-GSE out of the IS-F if they want big (>400) horsepower?

Has everyone forgot about the IS-F? or does it have to many doors to be cool?

^ What Shevon said. Supra is...was Toyota's flagship sports car. The IS-F is Lexus' entry model sports sedan. The Land Cruiser starts @ $69K doesn't it? More than an RX or GX.

I think you missed my point. I was talking about building a V6 around the same ideology of their V10 (Lightweight, bulletproof, compact, free revving), while of course having direct injection/ignition, valvematic & maybe even stop-start technology as well. Heck, while they are at it, I'd hope they would feel free to make it able to accept turbos in certain applications, maybe even throw on some of those variable geometry turbos they've been working on for the last couple of years (feel free to leave off the electric spool).
