For it. The 350Z is getting old.

That's the LF-A prototype in testing by callmedrfill

The LF-A, and new Supra, will be out within two years. Bank on it!
 
    The Z was 'Yota's kick in the pants. Selling 40k mediocre sports cars will get 'Yota thinking $$!
 
    They know they could EASILY build a better Z, they're worried about costs if the model fizzles after 2 years, like sports cars do. With the 3.5 built and ready to rock more than 300HP, the expensive engine is amortized by it's prolific use, as Nissan spreads it around like fertilizer. Nissan gave them the blueprint, now they will perfect the formula! A-la Lexus!
 
    A juiced 5.0 V8 will power the LF-A (forget a V10), and can produce up to 500Hp with i-VVTi+L. That will also see duty in the GS and maybe the IS, in less powerful forms.
 
    I HOPE the picture in this months SPEED Magazine (R&T) is close to what we will git! That was a pretty sweet ride!

The best pic of the next Supra by jasonvsu

There are several pics of the next Supra going around. The first one that I like was on autospies.com, then there were several that I didn't, but in the current issue of Speed, there is a good photo of a Supa I think that everyone would be happy with and Toyota wouldn't get sued for. This is really a sweet design. I think that as long as its performs it could kill.
It doesn't have to be a Corvette but it shouldn't be significantly better than the 350Z. That is the Supra that I want. As a nice round number I think that there should be at least a 340hp V8 and then TRD that to 400hp. I'd be satisfied. The V8 engine could get use in some of the trucks, the Avalon, and the Lexus's.

How fast does it have to be? by jasonvsu

If nothing else, this car should be a ble to keep up with a Lancer Evo. I would rather have a quick car than a fast car because I am never going to get to drive 155 MPH. If I wanted to go faster I'd buy a Porsche or a Benz.

they should have the 3.5L in the base Supra making about 300 hp to squash the 350Z. They should also have a large V8 making about 350-375 hp.
 
""and then TRD that to 400hp.""
 
Yeah! (If not higher )

Well, Toyota already has the new 3.5L (from Avalon) that could be easily tuned to 300+ hp. All they need is to mate it to a smooth 6-spd MT and I'm a happy camper.

They could probably take the one from the IS and beef it up, shorten throws, etc.
 
I also liked the SMT in the MR2. It was a lot better than BMW's *#&% SMG.

I have a 1998 Toyota Supra TT and it has about 455 hp. And I have a Aston Martin V12 Vanquish with 500 hp are more its a very nice car. The new 2007 supras will look similar to the 98 version but not exactly the same if you look at the 2007 Supra and a 98 Supra if you can till the head lights are in the same place but not exactly the same shape and the tail lights are almost the same shape and have a similar style the body style is a more aerodynamic then the 98 version but if you notice the body style is similar in some ways.

all this talk about the 07 supra having so much power is sweet, but sales can't be that great with a toyota going for $40,000. that reminds me... why did the last supra cease? i'm just sayin.
