because a friend of mine keeps telling me when they make the new supra which he says is 500 hp twin turbo V8 it will beat corvettes and i said uh not the z06 and he was like oh yeah it will

so me having some intelligence figured to avoid an arguement that i know i would win and just let him think that... so my question is this....


are they even going to be producing another supra?

It's looking highly likely that there will be a Supra, however there are several sporty Toyota concept cars on the market right now and nobody is completely sure which is any it might be based on. Rumors range from a 5.0 liter 450+hp naturally aspirated V8 much like the IS-F will have (though the IS-F may only end up with 425hp or so... we'll see), to a high performance hybrid electric setup... or both...

The likelyhood of a new Supra within 2 years time from now is very high. Details beyond that are plentiful, but conflicting, over hyped, and really all over the place.

Well the new skyline is a go, so im sure toyota will want an entry in the "I have no chance against a Corvette" market.

Hell Honda is even talking about a new NSX so anything is possible. :lol:

I think it would be very interesting if Toyota built a Supra to go head to head with the Z06.

I have a feeling that a front engine super coupe from Toyota Inc would be badged a Lexus in the US and other Lexus selling countries, are there any countries still selling US Lexus brand vehicles as Toyotas?

and if the mofo costs more than $45,000 like the mk4's did, they will not sell very many after the initial rush. my mk2 supra cost the same as a z-28 in 84 and had lots of options available, and it was a little quicker if the performance 4.70 lsd was optioned. like mine has. the just got to expensive in the last generation for them to sell well here.
