Doug: "Famous for it's role in 'The Fast and the Furious'". Me: "What role? Those were Honda Civics!". I had to attempt a confirmative research and there it is... The shit cart I never wondered what it was. It's so unnecessarily educational, indeed!

I'm totally smitten by the new Supra. If the M235 handles as good as it does I'm curious how this Supra which I assume has the mass down lower handles.

According to a press release Doug (and other journalists) attended, Toyota decided to forego performance enhancements - and called out specific instances - to the production version of the car in deference to tuning companies. Very interesting strategy to say the least. So when the consumer decides to modify the vehicle as "encouraged" by Toyota and something goes terribly wrong, who will bear liability?

I found this article very illuminating on the subject.

BMW sent the engine to Toyota for testing. Toyota sent them back a list of components that did not meet their standards.

I find it interesting they talk so much about it needing an inline 6, then they go and put the 8AT in it.

BMW has access to 6MT and 7DCT gearboxes and I'm surprised the drivetrain doesn't resemble an M2 or M2 Comp more.

i dont mind sharing parts with other car makers but for such a name 335hp is too low.. Supra had almost the same power more than 20 years ago.. and Toyota has money to make their own engine at least.. they re the richest car manufacturer.. and i guess Toyota is the richest cause they re not spending it to make all new car..

Read the article I linked to earlier. The project head explained most of these details.

0-60 in 4.1sec with 335hp and 3397lbs, doesn't quite add up. For instance the PDK Cayman S with 350hp and much lighter at 3,054lbs, does 0-60 in 4.0sec. The Supra has to putting more power down than what is stated.

Doug said the 2020 Supra is the fastest Toyota ever built, is that true?

That's probably true if you don't count the LFA. But that's not saying much since Toyota doesn't really make traditional performance vehicles.

I thought it was a good review, certainly interesting. It does honestly feel like a parts bin BMW though. I like the car, but I just think it's too expensive for what it is. The launch edition is within 4k of the BMW M2C. Or you could get the M240i and add the LSD and have money left over.

See the Alfa Romeo 4C dot. And the general trend in the graph. BMWs tend to "punch above the line."
