taking a page from Nissan, Supra will be built on the new IS/GS platform as 350Z is build on the G/M platform. This way they will be able to keep cost low. Engine will be 4.0L V6. I expect 330-350hp

What da?! RX8 Coupe/convertable in 07?

 

I think that may be more likely than a new RX-7. RX-8 variant would probably be cheaper to develop, and Mazda would have to worry about a new 7 living up to the heritage and performance of the old RX-7s.

I'm glad to see that the new Supra with a corporate platform and motor. The car should be able to be marketed in the same price range as the RX-8/350Z. Sure RX-8 sales may go down if that is the case and Mazda doesn't built a coupe version, but at least there will be another affordable rwd Japanese sports car in the market.

 

that list says that the Acura RSX is being redesigned for 2007...i thought Acura was killing the line after this year?

 

HP bump likely??? Are we getting this too via flash update or not?

 

highly unlikely

 

Funny.. The first picture I saw when I hit the link was:


I thought, "WTF?! I hope that's not the new Supra." Then I realized it wasn't.

 

LOL that piece of junk the new supra!!!

seen a few pics of the supra, if the build quality is any thing like the rest of the range i dont think i will be ditching the RX for one......well ok i might be tempted as it looks amazing!

 

Are there any pics of the new supra?

 

all the pics you have seen are artist concepts, we wont know what it will look like until October at the tokyo auto show

 

Ok, sounds good. That show isnt until Oct/Nov..right?

 

Build quality like the rest of the Toyota range? great? you wouldn't look if it had great build quality? weird.

 

with a more powerful engine than the Z, i think it will be as fast as the EVO and STI, but short of C6.

 

Could this be it?

 

Huh? all of the Toyotas from top to bottom has the industry best build quality.

 

That picture has been floating around the internet for years.

 

i hope they keep it wide and low like the last supra......and keep remnance of the tail...that is one hot ride.

 

yeah that pic is really old, so I doubt it will be exactly like that, but if it is, I like it.

 

^yup, me too. If the new Supra does look like that, I'll give it some very serious consideration.

The Tokyo Auto Show in October is shaping up to be the return of Japan's early '90's near supercars. The GT-R is almost certain to make a showing, a Supra Concept seems likely as well. Still on the fence (or best kept secrets?) are the NSX replacement and RX-7 concept (or some kind of RX coupe). I can't wait for October...

 

i thought the new supra was going to be like the new lexus lf-a concept???

 

no one knows about the new supra

 

The Lexus concept is said not to be the next Supra, but a very high end NSX like super car. The whispers around the Supra indicate something more affordable by your average Joe. But nobody really knows.

 

well wasnt the last supra if you were to calculate inflation into it, have costed 60k+?

 

Yah, didn't it rank up there with the old 3rd gen RX7's? Like $40k 10 years ago would be about $60k now?

 

Yeah, but the talk about the Toyota super car had it over well over $100K. While the buzz about a possible Supra had it a bit more down to earth, maybe between $30-$60K, who knows.
