And yes, Magna Steyr is manufacturing.



You have to remember, this is a GT car. It's gonna have electric seats, lots of sound deadening, a nice stereo, etc. The weight of the body in white might not be huge, but with the GT accoutrements, it'll be plenty heavier than an 86.

Also, unrelated, that overlay comparison makes the supra look much longer than it actually is. The 86 has the longer wheelbase between the two, Supra just has longer overhangs.

It is not a sports car. It was never planned to be a sports car. It will not be easy to turn it into a sports car.


It should be spectacular for the purpose that it is being designed for though.

Yes and yes. This was also my point. My thinking and statements before was that any GT car will be no 3200lb car sized like a z4 roadster packed with GT comforts n Supra worthy performance.
