I doubt Toyota would allow that on such a legendary halo car and they would have been doing backflips on the car already. They don't fully disguise their prize like the Germans do. I too am waiting on the official announcement from Toyota.
sorry but that comparison photo isn't actuate. there is only 10.9 inches between the two. the 86 also has a longer wheel wheelbase than the MK4

Supra MK4
Wheelbase: 100.4 in
Length: 177.8 in

86
Wheelbase: 101.2 in
Length: 166.9 in

i know a lot of people are saying its the "Z5 coupe". but it doesnt make sense for BMW to put a penis nose on their prototype. it also doesn't make sense for the coupe to have different lines than the roadster. the only official announcement we have is the BMW/Toyota press release where they state that they are working on a joint midsize sports car.
