re: Leaked Supra MKV

Few baws in here gonna be upset if it actually does live up to the name

The cayman quoted does 0-60 in 3.9.

So if the car comes in 2900 and ~ 350 hp it can definitely at least do 3.9.

There’s also supposedly three to four different trim levels.

Why are folks on here super upset about the Supra? Did Toyota do something to y’all? Lol

It wont.

It'll be around 350 hp and torque which is great. Same engine as in my wife's vehicle and it does 4.6s with the help of AWD and 365 hp. It's a great engine.

That car is one of the ugliest things I've seen in my life. If it's anywhere near that they should all be fired.

Toyota won't eat into the RC-F or LC-500

Overweight and dog-slow.

It lacks a dedicated launch program (which ordinarily enhances the transmission’s torque converter effectiveness, but here triggers a limp mode), so the 0-60 mph arrives in a stomp-and-go 4.8 seconds in the LC 500

Oh so you know someone from Toyota that specifically knows the real weight of this car?

Just familiar with weights of cars and have no faith that this one can come in that light. That's as light as their miniature car(the GT86) that has a tiny engine/tires/brakes etc to keep it that light.

This car will potentially rival the Porsche Cayman and has a 3.6-second 0-60 time.

Thats actually pretty bad. The flagship Toyota sports car will rival Porsche's econo car. The Supra will have to come in under $100k to be a real winner and compete with GTR. Look at the NSX and terrible selling numbers due to price.

I'm no expert but I learned from owning and driving hi-performance or super cars that the numbers are virtually meaningless for several reasons. First, this is probably going to be a great car. The only gripe I have is the design remains very Toyota and still a little dated and a bit generic to my eye. I'm not surprised BMW is involved somewhere. There is a class action suit against Chevrolet by a large group of new Corvette owners who are claiming the cars will not produce advertised times and if they do, they come off the track ready to grill steaks. The one thing about Porsche that no one can achieve is a car you can drive like a supercar, every day...and when you pull in the garage it acts like it just went down to the corner grocery...no steam or smoke...no popping or crackling sounds from expanding and contracting overheated parts, no funny smells, etc. I haven't driven the Hellcat but it's a mind blowing concept...but I respect the opinion of fellow I know who has driven one...and he said he's never feared for his life going in a straight line... the car just does not have the engineering to be stable with that much power. I'll bet the Toyota will be much better at being a supercar than most but it will be a long better anyone develops engineering that will rival Porsche. Regardless of times and numbers they do everything the others are trying to do in a way that feels like they are relaxed in their natural habitat instead of pushing the limits of its build like just about every other car does. If you love great cars just go test drive them for yourself.

Had a Borla on my camaro. They're legit af

I would be okay with the Supra looking exactly the same as it did. Just modernized the tail lights and headlights a little.

My Prelude would blow the doors off that sardine can.
