Perhaps, I'm over thinking it but what if the kidney grills are actually there and that big hump is a central ram air engineered to further fool us. I guess I can't fathom this car being anything Supra besides the name.


Hmmm, never saw that before. I bet that's extremely close to the final look. Has the familial similarity to the twins but executed with a higher BOM. In this picture the rear resembles an Acura CSX but I am confident it will look better in real life. Expect the tails to have some sort of LED light tube design which will revise in the 3rd MY. The face will be less bold than the new Camry. Can't believe I just said that. No hourglass to be seen.

Literature says 943F engine which is a 3L V6 twin turbo from the upcoming Lexus GS. Says 340 PS which is 335 HP, lower than expected of that engine. Looks very plausible.

Perhaps the halo will be a hybrid or depending on price, electric motors on front wheels for 400 hp neighbourhood. Then, an insane 500 hp super halo hybrid version later to keep up with the Joneses. Perhaps by that time they can find a way to build in Kers motors in the BOM.

I'd be very happy with a tunable 3L turbo.
