Toyota did their own exterior styling and did all their own steering, chassis and suspension tuning.
It's at heart a BMW, but saying there is nothing Toyota is quite an exaggeration.
- mulmen 8y agoIt’s a modified BMW. It’s not an actual Toyota like previous Supras. It has no soul of a Toyota. It’s just a base trim level of a BMW with different financing options and a different support network. By the way, if I’m buying a BMW why would I want Toyota of all companies to modify the steering and suspension? I’d rather have a Toyota with BMW steering and suspension, not this abomination. “I like my 3 series but I wish it handled more like a Camry” - nobody, ever.
- Cookingboy 8y agoWait.. in one sentence you claim Toyota's "soul" is something good to desire for, and in another sentence you claim it just means the car will handle like Camry. I drive a F80 M3 right now, and I very much would love to see how this car drives since I love, love the GT86 suspension/steering tuning. In fact the GT86 has better steering than my M3, so if this Supra is like that it would be very attractive to me. If anything, a car with BMW drivetrain and Toyota motorsport's chassis/suspension/steering is exactly what a lot of people would want these days, since BMW has a big lead in engine tech (especially turbo 6) and Toyota did such a spectacular job with GT-86's chassis/suspension/steering. Hell, if BMW supplied their turbo 4 cylinder to the GT86 imagine the success it would have had.
- m-ee 8y agoDid Toyota actually do the 86's chassis and suspension or was that Subaru?
- Cookingboy 8y agoThe 86's chassis and suspension tuning? Absolutely Toyota.
