Disappointed by the production version. Price/performance is not great. Visually, the matte gray looks nice.
Maybe if they didn't call it a supra I wouldn't be as disappointed? Is there something that I missed? This car had prototypes running about the 'ring for years yet specs are underwhelming given that this thing was in development for years. Maybe seat time will change that opinion? |

I bet the Dyno numbers( non biased numbers) come in closer to 300 then 310 maybe even less then 300. One doesn't see factory hp claims lowballed that much, as far as I can remember anyway.

I can't imagine anything Toyota could have done to lose 50hp when compared to the Z4, but if they did, it's great to know a tune and bolt-ons get you 400whp. The BMW B58 equipped cars seems to dyno in the 290s, fwiw.

It will be interesting to see if Toyota's involvement improves the BMW or BMW's involvement tarnishes the Toyota reputation for reliability.

LOL. People are mad because it doesn't have a 2JZ-GTE as if that was ever on the table.
I like it and would totally consider getting one for my son if he were in high school (or born yet). Can't think of many other $50K sports cars I'd take over it besides an M2 which is a stretch. |

Two other more exciting possibilities would be an S55 or S58 powered model with an MT since, again, those combinations either exist today (F8x M4, F87 M2) or will exist "soon" (G82 M4, likely G8x M2). |

Two versions of the 4 cylinder. Rumor has the US getting the higher output version as a base model.

I absolutely love the new Supra. The Mk4 was 50k with 320hp and a mid 4 second 0-60 time. Everyone complaining about the figures when it resembles the old car perfectly.. Tbh I think a bone stock 98 looks decent but looks a lot better with aftermarket parts. Same with this guy, found a render with some Work Meisters, yellows headlights and a big wang.
Just wait until places like RealSt and Titan Motorsports get ahold of this thing. It will be a monster. Toyotas verified Facebook account said that the 4 cylinder optioned car will come ready from factory for a 2jz swap, they know what they are doing. CEO of Toyota used to race an mk4, I doubt he'd let the Supra name be laughed at. Only time will tell. |

God I hope Mazda sacks up and answers back with a new sports car. This replacement seems safe when it comes to design as it will guarantee sales and Toyota gets its top-tier sports car while the GT86 is filling that Celica/MR2 void.

To be fair, I don't think Supra fans were looking for faultless BMW engine reliability when they asked for a sporty coupe.

I actually don't like it much. A 50k Toyota with BMW maintenance? The nose is too pointed and the door chasing / fake intake is stupid. It looks like they tried to merge the Z4 and a Lexus RC/IS 350 Fsport which costs less & has 311 HP.

You forgot one.
Jalopnik https://jalopnik.com/the-2020-toyota...oes-1831719119 Car looks bad ass but it has sportline steering wheel rather than m sport. (Though airbag looks like m sport). Maybe it fits better with the design language but would benefit from being thicker. Door sill label says BMW and has a BMW VIN |
