Fwiw, the Mk3 was a true to the bones GT car. The mk4 was classified as a sports car, and actually shed some weight over the mk3 in the U.S. market.
If you were to ask me, I'd say if Toyota wants to make another "Supra", then it has to embody what the Supra really was: amazing performance and reliability at the lowest price possible. That's it.
In the early 80's the Supra was known as the affordable Porsche. I'd just stick with that idea if I were an engineer for Toyota and run with it.
So, ~450-500hp, 3300-3500lbs, 20-30 MPG combined, and lots of the newest technical doo-dads that make it to higher end sports and supercars. Price it between $50,000 - $65,000 (Depending on trims and options) and then you have another winner. The original Supras were brought to America and showed Americans you can have your cake and eat it too when it came its market segment.
That would just do it all over again.
