Very unlikely to have double wishbone suspension.

Looking back at previous Toyota sports cars we only ever received Double Wishbone on the Supra's and Soarers (AFAIK). But thats only because they shared the engines and some of the underpinnings of the Lexus cars like the LS400/GS300.

Almost certainly going to be McPherson but thats fine by me. I've had a number of MK4 Supra's and cant really 'feel' a benefit from their Double Wishbone design.

The other thing is that this car is of a similar size and price range to the Gen7 celica. I'm not saying its a straight replacement for the celica, but i'd say Toyota are going to be aiming this car at the same market segment from where which the celica once sat.

With this in mind a 300bhp 370z contender is just not going to happen.

If we do get a Turbo model or an Official Tuning kit to turbo the N/A then i would be surprised to see any more than about 260bhp (Within the Toyota Warrenty).
