Pics of the "MKV Supra" (I know I know...repost, but just look)

Hrm...

Not an inline six - check
Not a turbo - check
Not a Toyota - check
Not easily modded for power - check

Not a Supra - check.

I could be bounded in a nutshell and call myself the king of infinite space....

it's rumored though that even the new skyline will be loosing the I6 They have already assured everyone that it's coming and what it will look like, but the engine i bet has gone the way of the Dodo

the only manufacturer i know of today that still produces a car with a I6 is BMW and TVR

The skyline is already out. Its just a a G35 with a spoiler and some bigger wheels.

 

[spoolme]

no, the skyline will say SKYLINE on it.

Looks like shit, whatever it is.

No inline six no care!

No inline six no care!

QFT!


Why do Toyota and Nissan persist to move away from the great legacy?? Why isn't there a 3JZ or RB27?? Whaiiiiiiiiiii

hope i'm not bursting anyone's bubble, but i read an article in some car mag this month that said that Toyota is trying to make it clear that the new design is NOT the supra MKV, but thier new hybrid sports car. i guess we'll just have to wait and see.

easy, Environmental Regulations and cost of design I Think it is stupid given that the new GT-R is supposed to be around $70K they could have atleast done an I6. All they are doing is taking an engine they already have in production and tunning it for performance.

Or maybe they are pulling the biggest switch we have ever seen, saying no I6 when it will be a 3JZ Makes Sense the 2JZ is not that old and it would be time for a new motor. they only stopped with the 2J in NA with the IS300

to me, a Sports car has a low displacement high revving engine or an Inline 6.

Go look at old amazing sports cars, specifically the Jaguar E type

 

[Boosted Supra]

Who cares about the 2JZ, that engine is over 10yrs old. Imagine buying that FT-HS and dropping in a 2JZ, it'll be just like a swapping a 2JZ into any car just to have MKIV power? You like your inline 6? Then keep it in your current Supra. A new high performance engine would be something new for us all, new parts, exhaust design, etc.......

 

[da89soup]

They are calling it the Supra replacement!!! I think its great if Toyota comes out with a modern day sportscar. Just like the 2000GT influenced the Supra, the Supra has influenced this new modern day car. Great!!! I believe this car proves that the Supra line is infact dead. I will say this though!!! The Supra line may be dead but the car lives on with all of us.:icon_bigg

 

[bobiseverywhere]

a New high Performance Inline 6 would still be just as good.

look at what other companies are doing with I6 Engine NA and then tell me a I6 Engine is an out of date archaic idea

 

[whudafux]

The new skyline engine is a beefed up version of the new G35 engine the VQ35HR. A non turbo, V6 3.5 liter engine. Or the newer G35 engine, the VQ37HR with twin turbos on it making it the VQ37HR-TT. A V6 3.7 liter twin turbo with 450HP. Not bad if you ask me.

So the choices of engines are the 3.5L V6 VQ35HR or the 3.7 TT V6 VQ37HR-TT.

Uh you missed the point. we're saying the JZ engine should be UPDATED. Not that they should throw in a 2JZ and call it a day. The M series engines ran for 25+ years before being replaced with the JZ series, why should the JZ series be discontinued so soon?

 

[Mob]

Yeah...the FT-HS is the next Supra...what world do you live in?

To clarify since the internet does little in the way of delivering sarcasm...that was sarcasm.

 

[Sawbladz]

Here are some pics that I took of it at the show. Saves people from clicking. Im not 100% sold on the front end but everything else is pure sex.

 

[oscolivar1]

:aigo: front looks like it came from the celica.
the front looks like a footprint of an animal with webbed feet

 

[keo]

wonder how much these retial for? better not be more than i can afford!!

 

[7Mboost]

Looks like shit! They tried way too hard to try to make it look futuristic, the front say a cheap bodykit, sides much resemble a 350z, the 3 exhaust thing is dumb and I heard there are no turbos in order who would want this piece of shit!

Toyota wants badly to overtake GM. To do this they are systematically taking cost out of every piece of their cars. The JZ engines are history because they only fit in two platforms, both front-engine rear wheel drive and that is not cost effective. The replacement GR engines fit in every 6 cylinder platform they make. Yes, they are V6s, and that does not please the enthusiasts, but they are very competitive and cost 50% less to make than the JZ and MZ lines they replaced (the result of a huge investment that started around 2003). In the end, its a very straightforward business decision to unify product lines and reduce manufacturing costs.
