The new Supra! Initial reviews

[Ashrez]

Toyota should have used the Nissan GTR as a benchmark when they set out to build their new Supra. After all, those 2 cars were natural competitors of the same class back in the late 90s and early 2000s along the the Mitsubishi GTO and the Mazda RX7. At a time where numbers matter more than they probably should I think they may have missed the mark on the new Supra.

Definitely.  The Japanese 90's Halo cars...

R3x GTR

Supra

RX7

GTO

& NSX

Those were the days, although my experience of them at the time was on the original Gran Turismo on the PS1 🙂

Here's my old RX7 one of the best track day cars I've owned, 400BHP and turbine smooth. Engine re-builds were a given part of ownership but by God when it was running well it flew.

 

Nearly bought an NSX but bought a V8 Esprit instead (bad move)

Its the same engine as the 340i. Will be 340hp, M40i engine. 0-60 in 4.6s. The interior will be BMW based with Toyota badging. Steering wheel is different but rest of it is similiar.

That's a thing of beauty. 

And I'd have loved to have been a fly on the wall when you realised the Esprit wasn't the best move you ever made. I'm not even going to mention that acronym...

So...... that's been bugging you for awhile then ?

It is the same engine and interior so I would say he is more right than wrong, just the 0-60 time (which apparantly isnt fast enough at 4.1 seconds)

Yep, those who spout unfounded facts as gospel.
