If we're honest though I think the 650 probably has a lot of heavy shit on it that would never be necessary on a Supra.

The MKIV Supra wasn't exactly a light car to begin with. 3600lb+

But expect at least 400lbs from this hybrid system

If it were not the new Supra then nothing. But I personly think a new Supra should not be an electric hyrbid. Who buys a sports car and cares about the mpg? People buy sports cars to have fun and to mod. There is nothing wrong with a BMW designed chassis but I don't think the 6 series is the best choice for a true sports car.

I just think how cool the CRX was and how lame the CR-Z is.

Could you imagine the CR-Z with a proper 200hp gas engine instead of that hybrid nonsense?

If the 350hp was delivered with a slight twitch of the throttle like it should be on a true electric motor, it'd be fun as fuck to drive. However, I highly doubt this would be the case. Thumbs down, it's almost an insult if it's going to really be the "new supra."

poopra isnt a poopra unless it will do the quarter mile in 17 seconds at 900mph. Supra = big boost + snazzy styling.

Agreed, i'd want a 13 second car at 128mph from the factory.
