Description: Several weeks ago Toyota and BMW signed an agreement to share hybrid technologies and to collaborate on a new platform that would see each automaker get at least one new sports car. This immediately s...Add Comments3
Jake DulaFeb 13, 2013 The power may not sound bad at first, but remember that "hybrid" means it'll be lugging around 2 engines and a ginormous battery pack. It'll probly suck.
Troy MessomFeb 12, 2013 Talk has it, a 2.5 turbo charged 300kw under the hood even if its hybrid not bad? Hope that doesn't drive the price up to much
Chris PenzaFeb 12, 2013 If they're sharing hybrid information with BMW for it I'm assuming it's a hybrid, which means it will suck
Dmitri IvanovFeb 12, 2013 Toyota is such a fag.. They need to ditch that stuuuuupid idea of a 4banger hybrid.. And build a proper i6 turbo supra.. Look at the gtr.. Its epic.. Toyota dont do anything stupid please
Matt PiccoloFeb 12, 2013 @ Tim, no I was just kidding -_-
Corey Alan KelleyFeb 12, 2013 I liked that render they posted a while back of what this combined with the gt86 would look like
But this is stall a awesome looking car I would take one any day
Description: It may also underpin the next-generation BMW Z4. In other words, that rear-drive platform could serve as the basis for both cars, although they will be quite different from one another. The Supra is r...Add Comments31
Kevin CarlinMay 01, 2013 At least give it a 2JZ option...
Jake DulaFeb 13, 2013 Dude, don't even try that argument. Hybrid systems are just a crutch used to avoid the extra time and money to build a really great car with good old fashioned engine work. Hybrids add a lot of unnecessary weight and spoil the whole car on top of that. I vote TT (twin turbo) 3.0L I6, and that would do just fine on power and economy. If you want better mileage, use stop start and cylinder deactivat...
Jason MordaczFeb 13, 2013 People seem to miss the point of a hybrid. The electric engine can be used to give an amazing torque injection! It's not all about fuel saving, if they tune this correctly then it would make for a great modern sports car!
Tim PreisingerFeb 12, 2013 If they build a new supra, I personally think a TTV6 would be the ONLY way to go...
Zaire WilkinsFeb 12, 2013 But at the same time no car company goes backwards. What you see is what you get
Matt PiccoloFeb 12, 2013 U don't name it the supra. Everyone would like the idea of Toyota making a second sports car placed above te fr-s, even if it is a hybrid. Just let the supra's name rest in peace (unless u bring it back properly) It's not complicated
Matt PiccoloFeb 12, 2013 Toyota. This is the one good model u have to your name. Don't screw it up. It's simple. Build it properly (twin turbo inline 6) or simply, build it with all the hybrid crap, but don't wreck the supra name. No one will care if its a hybrid as long as
Matt MarchantFeb 12, 2013 Fuck hybrid, twin turbo six or don't build it at all.
Garrick RaineyFeb 12, 2013 Exactly Chase, it's crazy! But I can see why they would do 4 cyl engines, even though it completely goes against the roots of the car..
Gabriel ScottFeb 12, 2013 I want another Inline 3.0l :(
Ray LiuFeb 12, 2013 No hybrid? U think everywhere else sells petrol as cheap as the states mate?!
Josh MayFeb 12, 2013 I officially HATE this concept bring back the old MKIV wing and maybe even a successor to the 2jz not some little f**kin hybrid 4banger this suck nothing is good about it except the fact that it will be built on a decent chassis
Lou GuerreroFeb 12, 2013 David's been suckin too many Subbie fumes. Every Supra including the '78 Celica Supra was an I6.
William DownsFeb 12, 2013 Really David.... Every supra has been an i6 none have ever had 4 cylinders.in them
Sam HarrisFeb 12, 2013 Exactly David, all the other supras were 4 bangers. If anything this is going back to its roots. I think they can pull it off.
Chase FeckoFeb 12, 2013 Supra 4 cylinder, There talking a Nissan Z 4 cylinder. What's happening here? Who is asking for these?
David GuerreroFeb 12, 2013 Actually the MKIV supra was the only inline 6. All other generations were inline 4
Jake DulaFeb 12, 2013 Noooo! Not a hybrid Supra! Why Toyota, WHY?! Don't do that to a Supra, you stupid moronic hybrid-happy emissions Nazis! >=(
Ravi NarulaFeb 12, 2013 How could they not do a single turbo inline 6? Don't give a car like the supra a little 4 banger. They should just build a new supra all together
Aaron CrispFeb 12, 2013 Turbo inline 6. Stick to the roots.
Ashton SummersFeb 12, 2013 This should make it popular with turners.
Chase FeckoFeb 12, 2013 A BMW built on a Subaru platform. It's all coming full circle.
Brandon ChaseFeb 12, 2013 Can we have a mini v8 like a 3.8L. That would be badass
A.J. BradyFeb 12, 2013 And four years to get a modified platform to market, that sounds long. It normally takes 3 to 4 years to get a whole new platform and car to the market. But the time could give them time to perfect the suspension to GT-R levels and capabilities.
A.J. BradyFeb 12, 2013 Give it an inline 6 would be great.
A.J. BradyFeb 12, 2013 That V6 would be too heavy and make the ride much harder to make great like the GT-86.
Dylan BruderFeb 12, 2013 This kind of stuff interests me but I wouldn't consider owning one or anything ATM I'm still fairly old school
Lou GuerreroFeb 12, 2013 A lot can happen in 4 years but this sounds interesting

Trevor BrownFeb 12, 2013 *Keep the BMW's straight 6. Flat 6 is different, it has the cylinders horizontally opposed to each other like Porsches, Subarus, and the GT-86.
Pablo HerasmeFeb 12, 2013 Haha, I really wasn't replying to his comment, but I see what he means, keep the BMW flat 6's
Lou GuerreroFeb 12, 2013 @Pablo, I suppose he means they use a straight 6 as opposed to a V6
Carlos Ernesto GarciaFeb 12, 2013 At Pablo, he means they hope they use a straight 6 as opposed to a v6
Rick RossFeb 12, 2013 Pablo, I think he means he hopes they use a straight 6 as opposed to a V6.
Lou GuerreroFeb 12, 2013 The popularity of turbos waxes and wanes with technology. It's been going on since the 60s.
Kyle JonesFeb 12, 2013 Because they believe in turbos now all of a sudden
Pablo HerasmeFeb 12, 2013 Companies use v6s now like they used v8s 10-15 years ago; its everywhere
Aislin CooperFeb 12, 2013 I hope BMW doesn't use a V6
