Here Is Everything We Know So Far About The Toyota Supra

There are few names that carry so much weight as Toyota Supra for those brought up during the model line's 80s and 90s heyday. Now Toyota’s plan to resurrect the name involves BMW which it will share in the development and produce its new Z4 on the same platform. 

To be built alongside the upcoming Z4 roadster, the new Toyota Supra will not only share a front engined, rear-wheel drive platform, but will likely also use a cross section of BMW power units according to new leaked internal BMW documentation. Expected engine options include two 2-litre turbocharged four-cylinders and a 3-litre turbocharged straight-six, all exclusively paired to an automatic gearbox.

My guess is that it won't use any 4 cylinder engines. The have the Toyota 86 (as it is called in Canada) for that. It should be a 3.0L and a 3.0L Twin Turbo. But anything it possible. I does not need a hybrid powertrain option at this price point. It should be priced at Mustang levels or just a touch above. I also highly doubt Toyota would accept a BMW engine in a car with a Toyota badge on it. Neither would the enthusiast community that is waiting for this halo-ish cult car.

This article is nonsense. It says at one point that the Supra will have a turbo inline 6 then later it says it won't have a BMW engine. I think it would be fine with the B58 as long as they can keep the weight under control.

Well - based on the title of this thread - WE KNOW NOTHING - there are a lot of theories - and conjecture - but they seem to contradict each other.

Not really. The sources seem to agree that the Supra is a coupe version of the BMW Z4 and that it will essentially be a BMW with Toyota styling.

My bet is at least one Toyota engine in the US market, though the limited production like the 86, may mean only one. In other markets may make sense to offer a BMW engine option.

And limited production is an anathema to this kind of car and to the GT86.

In all honesty I bet they could have dug up the old plans, made the tooling, tweaked the sheet metal slightly and made the old car again with modern tech and material updates. The kids would buy it...

They should give it about 250hp just to piss people off.
