$80k sounds way too high. Alex Shen and Kevin has said the car will be affordable and not priced higher than the Lexus RC-F.
Also a SupraForum that attending the pre unveiling at New York was
supposedly told the high end model will not have a higher starting price than the $70k Lexus RCF.

Nonetheless, the starting point for the FT-1 was a theoretical car with a real-world price tag between $50,000 and $60,000, said Kevin Hunter, president of the Calty Design Research studio in Newport Beach, Calif., where the car was designed.

And a wild guess at price -- maybe $60,000? "It's a Toyota," says Shen. "It ought to be affordable." Only then did lines start to appear.

Tada San has stated the new flagship coupe will not be chasing the GT-R.
Quote:
Toyota Supra successor to remain rear-wheel drive
“The GT-R is a car that is clearly focussed on speed, on lap times. We don’t want to chase the same direction,” explained Tada-san.
“Toyota’s philosophy is always [one of] fun. Fun is more important to the driver, and I’d prefer the driver sense that enjoyment than [focus on] lap time.”

I don't think they will be direct competitors. That car I believe only has 325hp.
X2, I'll just wait for an official announcement from Toyota. But the guessing game is fun
