They could have got them off the cars' windshields. Those pics probably didn't make the rounds on the internet, but I'm sure they exist.

They camo the whole thing and then meet US VIN location requirements? Suppose it isn't impossible but seems odd. I was just curious anyway.

Plates, VINs, emission equipment, stickers, warnings, etc still all need to be there. The VIN is on the windshield as you know.

They are prototypes. They need none of those. They obviously had them though.

I think if the US VINs exist for the 4 cylinder, and if they were required to emission test it and crash test it to operate it on public roads then it seems highly likely there will be a 4 cylinder variant. And that is reasonable too considering they have had a less powerful model in the past. The 300zx to 350z saw the loss of two models of varying power levels, so it is also reasonable they could go with one engine platform, but I still think the VIN evidence is highly suggestive of the former.

I'm not sure if this makes a differences, but these are pre-production prototypes. Toyota also did the same with the MK4/A80. There were about 60 to 80 made??? I was told most of them were used for testing, media test drive, and auto shows debut. The majority of them were destroyed afterwards, but a hand full of them did survive. I recall a Supraforum member from Canada having one a few years back.

take this how you will, but SupraMKV member @Bonanzka has confirmed that 4 cylinder will be available in Europe. he is part of the 900 Supra Club. they have to put a $1000 refundable deposit for a reservation. in turn they get exclusive info from Toyota Europe.

Tcoat won't be happy until there is an official statement on Toyota's website.
