+1 The side reminds me of a 370z.

This man speaks the truth. They could update the interior, throw on some new wheels, and keep everything as it was and it wouldn't look outdated. Unfortunately what killed all those nice import rides like the Supra and RX-7 were price and poor marketing. I can't see much of a market for new $60k+ cars in this economy, at least not enough to justify spening the money in tooling. I wouldn't mind a new second generation MR-2 Turbo!
Are you by any chance on Porsche's exterior design team
I like the car and don't care how it looks. As long as it performs well and pushes everyone to step it up it's a great thing.
Lmao that one got me. :banana:
Real Porschephiles dont want a different looking car. For every new generation of 911 they want a similar looking, same layout, 911 with better performance and gizmos. Thats why the 928/944 turbos didnt take off. They were outperforming the 911's of their time, but Porsche purists shunned them.
New Supra needs to have simlar lines, tail lights, targa or hard top, TT 6 cyl, 6 speed manual or dual clutch options, at least 500hp.
It will cost not lower than 70k. But it wont dissapoint all the people like me who were too young to buy a MKIV when new
lol thanks
Yes it is only a fan rendering, although a very good one. I'm sure Toyota is listening and watching how people react to these concepts. After all many cars get their ideas from renderings and many have been built as well.
Looks a LOT like the saleen raptor concept from a while back.
Whatever happened to that concept? Are they ever going to build it? I thought it would've stacked up nicely with the 458, GT2 RS, etc.
The turbo MKIV was a $42k ~ car in 98, with inflation that puts it in the $50k range today. It was a 320hp, 3500lb car; it would need quite a bit more to compete with cars available in that price range today.
Look at the 2011-2012 GT500 which runs mid-low 12s@115-118mph, pulls 1.00Gs on the skidpad, brakes from 60mph in under 106ft, etc. The ZL1 with it's magnetic ride, LSA and enormous brakes.
or the LS3 Corvette which runs the same 1/4 mile times with similar or even better handling capabilities.
Also, both cars will easily run 11s @120mph+ on pump gas with minor bolt-ons.
As awesome as the Supra is, not everyone turns it into a big single monster, (just like everyone doesn't throw a 3.4L whipple on a GT500).. Out of the box it will run in the 13.3 range @ 106-108mph, BPU on pump gas in the 12s @ 114mph~ and on race gas / e85 11s@116-119mph.
The Supra was an amazing car, but I think it's following precedes it. Today's cars would mop the floor with it stock and mildly modified. I respect the Supra can handle 80932430924rwhp on the stock IRS/6spd, but how many people actually build them to do so?

exactly, the car looks good but does not look too much like a Supra
I was just going to say that this looks more like a next generation Nissan 370Z.
I do like the overall design.
Terminator, lol. The re-released 03-04 Cobra is the GT500. It's an SVT Mustang that's been evolving ever since, just with a different badge.
Looks like shit. The early 80's Supras are better looking than this. I agree, they need to make a throwback car to the MK4 days. Keep the original body, just make a better interior (the original one lacks in this department IMO) and do some light mods to the ol' 2JZ so it will make about 350RWHP N/A and about 450 in the turbo models. There's the next best selling car right there.
Atleast
does have styling of the LFA. I like it. Looks much better than the GT-R
Love it. Looks like an LFA 370z child, i can dig it.
That things got 100 g's written all over it.
Sick car though.
