Default Supra Concept

Anybody got any updated info on the new Supra coming out? So far all I can find is that it will be a N/A V8. No "official" designs, release dates, etc. Suppossedly it's going to push 350 hp, but rumors have it to be higher. I'm curious to see how the Z and RX-8 will do against this one! Hott damn!

Why did toyota push their new Supra into the 8 cylinder category? I would have rather seen a redo of the 2JZ-GTE engine from the MKIV generation.

size for power. they can make motors smaller and produce more power.

There are about a million rumors about the new Supra. It may not even be called a Supra. Toyota will probably bring over a car to compete with the new 350z, but there is also speculation that they will make a supercar under the Lexus nameplate. I hope they bring over a supercar. I don't see them topping the MKIV for a reasonable price. They would most likely cut cost and performance as well and tarnish the Supra name. Anything you hear about a new "Supra" is JUST a rumor. A new "Supra" may never appear.

I'm not sure if I agree with that. There is NO replacement for displacement. Sure forced induction is a SUBSTITUTE but with that you still have trade-offs. But to each his own. I personally like both displacement and forced induction. I have a little bit of both A 4liter I-6 with twin turbos would be grrrrreat.

I think he meant that a 4.0L v6 would take up less room in an engine bay that a 4.0L I6. Which is true.
