I been wanting to revive this thread. I fell in love when I first saw pictures over at MotorTrend despite it being red, (I can't stand the color red it's hideous to me idk why) the car still looks amazing to me. But I hope it's in the 60K price range I'd love to buy one of these in the future. I'd love a Black FT 1.

The car looks VERY light and I wonder how Nissan (GTR) and Honda (NSX) will react if they release the FT-1 at around 60-70K.

My question to people out there, I read somewhere that they will be offering 2 transmissions, the Automatic dual clutch or the 6 speed manual. What would you guys pick?

they wont have to respond if the car is significantly lighter/simpler/slower. very much different classes. its not unlike asking how the corvette is going to respond now that the frs is out. they dont care.

The front end looks a bit drab but the rear looks quite exotic!

Well, I see this thread got necro'd, so I'll necro a quote.

You guys think you hated have Subaru sh*t on your Toyota? Wait till you have BMW sh*t on your Toyota

You will go crying back to your 86.

Ive been looking at these Supra pics for two days now. Not sure if serious as a real Supra successor, might be a new flavor 86? Has the lines. Also states headlights are fake, which is good cuz all I see is old Eclipse lights.

lol everyone losing their minds and speculating everything from a Solara to a super car killer.

Toyota threw some cash at BMW to rebadge the next Z5 in the hopes of combating their reputation as an appliance maker, end of story.

My 2 cents, expect a BMW powertrain and an interior from the Toyota parts bin, only questions will be what badges are on it and if they'll put a 4 banger in it to meet a price point, the I6 to wow the press, or both.

For BMW, my guess is both. 2.0L Turbo 4 for a Z5 sDrive28i, and a 3.0L Turbo 6 for a Z5 sDrive35i. Of course, that's all speculation, but it fits along the lines that BMW typically go with.
