2019 Supra

[Coog]

The internet really has gone a bit mental about it being based on a Z4.

Indeed. I'm disgusted personally... As an owner of no less than three 90's Japanese motors I much prefer them all to have an interior that looks like it's been lifted from a Carina-E minicab.

In all seriousness, on the size thing this is what I could lift from Google:

MK4 Supra
Wheelbase: 102.9 inches
Height: 52.0 inches
Length: 183.5 inches
Width: 67.7 inches

MK5 Supra
Wheelbase‎: ‎97.2 inches
Height‎: ‎50.8 inches
Length‎: ‎172.4 inches
Width‎: ‎73 inches

So it's shorter yet wider and lower.

And I don't remember the MK4 Supra being lauded for it's beauty back in the day. It had presence for sure but was it really a good looking car in stock form? I guess that's a personal preference thing...

I've looked at the new Supra numerous times over the last few days and each time it looks slightly better!

Maybe it's a grower, definitely looks better with a slight drop, better alloys and not in red.

Only 300 hitting the UK in the first order and all sold, it'll be interesting to see what happens to the price in the first 6 months!

in my eyes the only problem is the black A-Pillar on the Red & White cars. simply making it same colour changes car profile altogether imo

Photoshops everywhere, wheel a bit off in this one kind but still, shows the potential. This is what it's all about. The same was said with the GT86, now look at it. None of the old original Toyotas were any way good looking back in the day, it took time, and modifying. If you want top end buy a Lexus, this is a drivers car, fun, tuning, body modifying etc .. Not just another boring car on the road. Can't wait for SEMA and TAS next year

I think a lot of the fuss comes down to the bhp figure, it doesn’t seem an awful lot when you consider a standard golf is that power. But an r34 skyline, the old supra the 3000 gto were all restricted allegedly to 280 bhp but responded really well to a bit of tuning, I imagine this will be the same. Look on YouTube at the amount of 600bhp+ 335i’s. Couple that with what is meant to be a great chassis and you’ve got a winner in my opinion.

Exactly, can you imagine taking out 2 or 3 cats and a full exhaust alone will probably add 100 lol. Look at the R35 GTR, not crazy power from the factory but look at the influence, tuning and industry it has created..i think it still comes down to who wants to buy, build and tune at a drivers cars, or step into a fancy car from the dealer. They're very different mindsets

On the RMS Blog: Nostalgia. It has a lot to answer for. That innate ability to deceive you that everything was better. They don't make them like they used to, do they? Cars, with all their computer assistance and safety settings, are, well, a little too safe. And I know who to blame..... (Read the Full Article Here)

I had a mk4 supra, id love to see this one side by side, no way it looks lower or nearly 6” wider!!

Isnt the gold one a mk4 with GTR headlights or something? There was thread or video of it recently on facebook about the transformation>?

Isn't it the original supra that went bombing down the roads in England in the dead of night?

There was a few top secret MK4 supras. The V12 one wasn't the one that done the high speed run, it's definitely the 6cyl one that did. And much to the annoyance of many people, the one that done the M1 run had a Nissan RB engine not the 2JZ. Apparently it's power delivery was much better suited to this, despite the 2jz ultimately being the stronger engine.

Came in here to see if this pic had been posted yet as a mate sent me it, looks remarkably better and I actually didn't mind the new design at all!

Crazy what a bit of body work does to a car

That doesn’t look bad at all, though I don’t think it needs the high spoiler at all

I don't think it's big enough personally

Looks better in video, and is design is working on me.
