2019 Toyota Supra Is Rumored to Have a V-6 Powertrain

At first, there have been quite a few rumors about the 2019 Toyota Supra going for an inline six engine borrowed from BMW. This is not entirely true, though. Instead, it seems that the new Supra will receive a Lexus developed V6 with the 943F code. This is a twin-turbocharged unit capable of pushing out around 400 horsepower and 300 lb-ft of torque. This is less than what the first rumors suggested but more than enough to make the Supra fast enough to pose a problem for its rivals. We are quite sure that with this engine, a six-speed manual or an automatic of some sort are going to be offered. The car will more than likely be rear wheel drive only.

Let's hope Toyota realizes that to have a sport coupe be viable these days, it has to be affordable.

I don't see this car as being "affordable". It should be a halo car for the brand just as Supra always was, it will likely be the most expensive Toyota (except for land cruiser). I would bet the price will be in the high 40's to low 60'S. I would hope that they respect the Supra tradition and make this a great car rather than cost engineer it to move metal. They should rebadge the fr-s as a celica and make that their value sports car.

I rejoice every time I hear there's a new V6 in town opposed to a line 4

Put in a V8 and price it like a Mustang GT I say.
