I'm sure they'll just add some power with every model year. Not a huge surprise now, but definitely wouldn't persuade me from getting one now vs waiting for a newer one. (Honestly, on average, most manufacturers are inclined to add a power bump every couple years anyway for fresh marketing.) I think the 2020 is powerful enough - especially from someone coming off this platform - and if it's currently not enough, there are plenty of tuning options that are relatively cheap for the amount of additional power you can get. However, I think the greatest conversions will come from the ever elusive manual option. What about perforated leather seats with cooling/ventilated option? A trunk release button in between the license plate lights ? A flat-bottom steering wheel? Funny how we wished for more power from the 86/BRZ platform since day one and got a measly 5-hp increase after 5 years. But the Supra had plenty of power from the beginning yet got an additional 47-hp after less than a year with more to come! |

"A more powerful Toyota Supra has long been rumored since the moniker first reappeared for the 2020 model year. "
Couldn't read past that line. Sorry, sorry just screams of clickbait writing, might as well say "you won't believe what happens next".

Toyota Supra to die in 2025?
Maybe this is common knowledge, but it's the first time I've seen mention that the Supra is planned only through 2025:
https://www.autoblog.com/2020/07/11/...bmw-m3-engine/ I don't know what that means for the BRZ/86. It could be good news if without the Supra Toyota then focuses more on its 'own' sports car (rather than the one they bought from BMW) and might actually allow a higher-power version (since then they wouldn't be concerned about a faster BRZ/86 stealing sales from the Supra)... or it could be bad news if Toyota decides sports cars aren't worth it and exits the segment completely. They are a highly financially-driven company, and there has to be a sound business case for everything they do. |

Everything will die out till we are all driving sterile dead-feeling SUVs that all look the exact same.

Its honestly an idiotic proposition to develop a not so profitable car from scratch (even teamed up with a partner) only to give it a shelf life of 5 years..... |

A manufacturer will continue producing a product until it is no longer profitable to do so. Econ 101. Supply and Demand.

They will continue to manufacture per plan regardless of sales or profitability. There may be a bit of wiggle room for a few more or less in a year but the plan still rules. This is why there can be a shortage of some cars but things like the Aztec still get built for 3 years even though nobody buys them. I highly doubt there was a 5 year only plan for the Supra but stranger things have happened.
