A "Supra" would have a Toyota inline six. Hand it over to the same engineers who did the LFA engine.

IMO a V6 has better harmonics than IL6.

Sadly, the Supra is a BMW not a Toyota.

Just like the Toyota 86 is really a Subaru BRZ with a couple of Toyota P/N's.

It's just lucky the twins come from the breeding of 2 Jap car makers with good reliability.

If the twins were a Subaru and BMW mix I would not have a Toyota 86 :scared0016:

I'd take a BMW i6 over an ej25 any day in terms of reliability but IDK

I haven’t kept up with it...but back in late 90’s & 00’s the M series BMW’s when stressed a bit too much & would fly apart...may have something to do with their reliability...

I used to work at a BMW dealership, and one of the techs there hated working on the E46 M3. Apparently those particular i6's would not stay together over the long term.
He had his own E30 M3 and he said he would never get an E46 M3 cuz its like a disaster waiting to happen.

I know this is even further off topic, but am I the only one that sees the LFA as a design inspiration for the FR-S?

I mean, just look at the front ends:

You cannot tell me that isn't intentional lol.
