Originally it was said for leveraging BMW's relatively cheap carbon fiber tech from the i3 into the next Supra in exchange for other hybrid and diesel arrangements. Now I have no clue what is going on, and will be quite disappointed if the i3 has a carbon tub and the Supra doesn't. Even the Alfa 4C has a ridiculously complex tub respectively for what I'd presume is the same price range though different class of vehicle.

I presume the Supra and Z4 are still set to be built in Austria by Magna Steyr....?
