Scooter Posted October 12, 2018 Share Posted October 12, 2018 I still chuckle at all the criticism of this car, when pretty much every stat is going to be better than the MKIV. Lets face it, a remap and this thing will be a beast. Mk3 owners probably said the same about the Mkiv it only has 40hp more and they want nearly 50k for it , technology moves on it will calm down soon as its released and tuners start doing bpu packages and company's like sard and apr start doing aero bits, I cant wait to see one with a set of ssr's lowered with a apr spoiler I think it will look the business . I am pretty sure I read on here a long time ago branners owns http://www.mkvsupra.net so when is that going live! It's bound to be a better driving car, but will it be the leap the mkiii to Mkiv was, and that followed straight after, this one has an 18 year gap, although who knows how long they've been developing it. I am looking forward to seeing what the first owners think, the acid test, I just hope at some point it depreciates and ages well like the Mkiv did/has. Jealous of anyone being able to consider biting the bullet! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The car we will get won’t look like that (unless they bring out a grmn edition that’s the same) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chazuk Posted October 15, 2018 Share Posted October 15, 2018 The GR kit will probably be like the TRD3000GT kit for the mkiv Yea probably spot on I am hoping they still go hybrid with it, apparently there are lots of bolt holes all over the chassis and body so sounds like allot of TRD parts will be available wont have to wait long soon as its released top secret ,rocket bunny, apr, all the big names will start doing kits as well its going to be interesting.

The bolt holes will be for the various levels of trim across the optional extras. I'd be very surprised if we see any sort of special edition come out mainly due to the reception of this car going down like a lead balloon Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tintinmt Posted October 16, 2018 Share Posted October 16, 2018 I wonder if it will have this optional extra that the Z4 has Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CorruptSapphire Posted October 20, 2018 Share Posted October 20, 2018 These are pictures from the Gazoo Racing version that is currently at the ring along Toyoda and Tada. The GR version at the moment is totally caged up, full on racing wheels and hood pinsGot aftermarket bonnet pins already this must be from something else ?

JasonR24 Posted October 20, 2018 Share Posted October 20, 2018 Does anyone know if it actually raced? It wasn’t on the race standings at the end but they did mention it. (VLD race 9 at the Nürburgring in case anyone is wondering) I didn’t see it on the track at all but I saw it in the pits on Facebook and on a YouTube video. Anyone seen any footage of it in the actual race? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anyone seen any footage of it in the actual race?Sadly not bud, I knew the race was on. the car had livery all over it that would suggest, it three driver names on the roof line by the door. Racing numbers (110) on the door. But I haven't seen much else other than static shots that are going round Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CorruptSapphire Posted October 20, 2018 Share Posted October 20, 2018 Would happily be proved wrong though Looks like the Gazoo Racing A90 qualified 94 out of 162 with a 9:31 Race results are not yet published, so not sure where it finished Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kaahari Posted October 20, 2018 Share Posted October 20, 2018 (edited) Source: mkv forum A good race debut for the supra! It didn´t explode in flames. The objective was clearly to gather data and continue the car development, not pace or points. That is evident with the driver lineup, not a single professional race driver there: - Morizo: It´s actually Akio Toyoda, the CEO of Toyota. So cool to have him racing the Supra, he actually put down the cars fastest laptime. Pressure on the development team for sure! - Herwig Daenens: Member of the Vehicle Testing Division of Toyota Motor Europe NV/SA - Hisashi Yabuki: Member of the Advanced Technical Skills Institute at Toyota Motor Corporation Regarding performance, very hard to read with traffic, non-pro drivers, and full track configuration. Best lap time (Nurburgring "GP" circuit + Nordschleife) 9:25.555 This is what we expected. The GP track usually adds a bit more than 2 minutes to the nordschleife laptime.
