That is not modern Toyota. They have become complacent and are now more focused on virtue signalling their eco status. Even the luxurious Lexus is now pushing hybrid with that whiny transmission system.
After I saw all the people talking bad about the Supra on vlogs all over TH-cam, finally went to Showroom to see it for real and I found this: Its a really Beautiful Car! Toyota or BMW ...this car design and performance package with that price tag is really the good real deal!!!!!!
@ekim andersom maybe when they work but after 100000 miles it seems like they are at the end of their lifecykle, i bet a Toyota engine would be able to manage almost double
@@gaah23 thanks I was saying the same thingwell when is c8 mid-engine Corvette came out there pretty much debunk Toyotas claims that is going to be expensive
@ekim andersom swedes hehe, and most People cant afford one new anyway so chances are that you Will get one second hand when ther is no ensurance on The engine and in that verry likley scenario i rather have a Toyota engine than a bmw, dont get me wrong i dont dislike bmw and IF I was rich i would probably get myself an 8series. But im not...
Yeah, like Jaguars are my favorite fords. & my Fords are my favorite Camaros. & Toyota makes some pretty good cars called Lexus. Lots of big name car companies collaborate! Why does everyone pick this car only. Til you have driven one (NOTHING LIKE A BMW Z4) you should stay quiet, because you sound Supra super salty & like a hater! It’s only partial BMW parts. ITS tuned, & all set up by Toyota. And last time i checked, TOYOTA is up on the NASCAR TRACKS KIDDOS!!!!!! Not even sorry ass DODGE! 🤷🏽♂️😱🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🥂🙇🏽♂️
like the mk4, this new supra is compromised in its stock form but the opportunities to make it your own with aftermarket upgrades is really exciting to me. I also think it’s got more personality, as the imperfections almost make me like this car more in a way. As someone who has never owned a car with more than 1.3l engine, I can’t wait to experience one of these. Picking one up in a few months and it can’t come soon enough!!!
As a Toyota guy who’s had a BMW or two that tried to destroy me financially, I hope they know what they’re doing. The first time I or any other Toyota guy see’s one of these on the shoulder with its flashers on, or ascending the flatbed of a tow truck, or glitching out on TH-cam or our IG feeds, it’s gonna break our damn hearts not to mention our faith in the brand going forward. Seeing a BMW with a Toyota badge is already painful enough after hearing about their backwards climate stance here in the US after years of touting their hybrids and supposed push for sustainability. You’re in dangerous waters, Toyota. VW already sank here over diesel-gate and nose diving brand image thanks to their less than stellar reliability.
It's $15K cheaper than it's BWM counterpart and you can buy two of these for the price of a decent spec Porsche. Toyota Supra $56K U.S. - I'm all in Baby! Although I want the improved 2021.
Nice car, in real world scenario's. Already at roughly 370 bhp as standard (so outruns the new Z4), is very easily remapped to 430+ bhp and still has the JDM look about it, (even if it's made in Europe).
I dont really understand why ppl hate this car so much for having bmw stuff inside of it..?? I was wanna yelling at those haters and say, u know what..?? Everyone fav supercar f1 mclarens builded with bmw stuffed under the hood..!! So wth u hated for..?? Ppl r so naive
Their review explains it. Toyota didn't put enough effort to make it a Supra. Even the interior screams BMW with the attached display like BMW does. It's not original at all. They went as far as to have the speakers make engine noises to fake out the customer. You can't even turn it off, WTF?!? If you ask me this is annoying that car manufacturers are making cars with the interior speakers sound like engine. Kinda disgraceful in my opinion.
@@blackonblack...9244 fake engine sound on a supra..?? I don't think so.. Just check at some papadakis vodeo when he dyno the engine stand alone and feel how good the engine sound is. Now to deeply understand why the partnership is possible, why they should did some more but why they didn't. we have to look back when they partnering with yamaha to achieve equal quality what the yamaha possibly do. So in result is 1jz.they partnering with yamaha to build a good engine and take the result, developing it to make it even better. And honestly in my perspective, i just seen this 2020 supra is just a starting point.. I kinda think if right now toyota enginering was tearing down the b58 engine and they kinda thinking. " This is a good engine, but how to make it better than before with our QUALITY, RELIABILITY, DURABILITY, but still AFFORDABLE for everyone" Hmm.. That's won't be easy bcs they don't build sports car for decades, or how if we give people base model and let them do their likes to involve what kind of newer model will be. Thats would be interesting because in base model toyoya put huge space for after market stuff to develop their products and guess,, improving the overall supra capability And in fact. If we look at mk4 supra comercial ad & 2020 supra. They shares same rules. Comparable price with better performance and features among class competitors.. So if we think the 2020 supra packed as good as mk4 supra,, how would be the next supra..??
The problem with this car is the name. If toyota hadnt brought it to the market as a new version of the legendary mk4 everyone would have loved it. The thing people like about the mk4 is the 2j engine. Were annoyed they haven't spend the money and effort to develop a new engine. If they didn't claim it lives up to the supra name it would be fine and a great car.
@@joesanders8089 thats probably what makes ppl hate this car especialy for jdm fan. But think about it, if there is a "race movie" That makes this car as a hero car. Ppl will much more suffered for being hate this car so much. Bcs what mostly ppl think when they heard supra is 90s japanese car with great engine and power handling capability. and unfortunately toyota kick it off from production line when u realize its potential. So.. Before they starting on a entirely new development car to make it pure supra which could be ended up like lexus LFA which is a huge fail. Why dont we put supra name on a new and well builded car (maybe coz its bmw) with more stuff under the hood for ppl to enjoy and keep their eyes on it to buy time meanwhile we starting to make a pure one.
I really don't see the issue with it being based on a Z4 and have BMW branding on it. BMW make great cars and are fantastic engineers as are Toyota. The 2 of them teaming up on a car can only be a good thing
That's 50k more,weights 1000-near 1100lbs more,is a luxury car,would literally be just as fast if not a bit slower than the mk5,has a near untunable V8/ttV6 were as the mk5s B58 is tunable,and would more than likely run circles around the LC on track.
@Jorn Navarre so? Tell me how many people take the LC to track compared to how many mk5s are currently being taken to the track? How many people have ripped out the LC's seats or anything for weight reduction? How many have actually hit 11s compared to the mk5? How many mk5s do u see hitting 12.4-12.2 STOCK to what the LC hits? How many LC500s have ACTUALLY been tuned? How many LC500S have been used for drifting? Supras aren't Camrys like how those "lexus enthusiasts" are with there everyday "reliable elephant"of a camry lookalike. Tell me if the LC500 was so reliable then weres the evidence of it pushing more power reliabily? Were the evidence of it making decent track times?weres the evidence of it making good drag times? The mk5 isn't a Lexus and will more than likely end up just like the mk4....modified to all crap,rarely stock,and will be all over the stock market for swaps or drag or track uses.
Got rid of my 68 plate 718 Cayman S for the new Supra. Considerably better than the Cayman IMO.... More torque and a smoother delivery, more comfort and lots more attention and kerb appeal. Get over the BMW bit, after all, they do build a very solid motor ;)
How does the ZF gearbox compare to the PDK unless you had a manual ? Driven a 718 Cayman it handles and drives very nice ! Would love to drive a supra but not 25 lol
Nazim Uddin To be fair the PDK is near unbeatable but that would be the only thing that is. Nothing wrong with the Supra auto it’s just not a PDK (but what is). Believe me I’ve done half day track events in Caymans and Supras and owned/own both and the Supra is the clear winner. Make sure u test a Supra you’ll be amazed.
@@ianmarsay7105 Yeah I agree the PDK is very quick and reponsive , I used to work at Toyota and Lexus before and would love to test drive the new Supra , it has always been my dream car . The B58 engine has so much tuning potential it makes sense why Toyota did go for the BMW collaboration . How long was the waiting list and did you get a launch edition ?
You do realise that we're a small minority. Very few people actually buy sports cars and due to this it means that we're also very educated and not a general consumer who just goes by what they're told to like or what they like the look of. You and I know the weight the supra name carries we also know toyota are amongst the biggest companies out there so that's why most people who were in the market for a sports car felt jaded when Toyota didn't even try to make it themselves or even try make it that different from the BMW its based on and that's also why they're not selling well at the moment as well.
So? The z4 is a good car, Toyota took it and made it lighter and more focused, it looks a lot better too I agree that the interior could be better but it's a great car. The golf gti is the same as a skoda vrs or a seat leon nobody complains about that, by parts sharing you save money and it means more choice for people in this market. Most people don't drive a million cars over their lifetime and won't notice if it has a BMW characteristic, these guys are spoilt with cars and notice the things normal people wouldn't
aproductofboredom The 4th generation Supra didn’t sell that well either and it was pure Toyota. It was on sale in the US between 93-96 and pulled from the market because of low sales. Can’t really blame Toyota for not building the new Supra from scratch.
With current laws and standards they most likely have to tone down the loudness decibels along with the mileage requirements. That's probably why they had to make fake engine noise through the stereo. They should just turn it off, I agree.
I think it would have been incredible specially when you look at lotus I see what they did with the evora Toyotacould I had done better than this could have use existing engine and transmissions they have now and went to TRD and there's something there
Or maybe make a brand new straight 6. They have the resources and time for it even though the b58 is a very strong platform. This is a brilliant car on the whole but too much bmw
@@rajtilaksengupta they would have done that but they kept saying it was too expensivebut is really crazy because when they see a Corvette rolled out a pretty much debunked Toyota's claim
If a car company like Toyota is no longer able to make cars, then it's not worth being a car company. With this said, the Supra is miserably failing to sell in the US which makes me happy in the hope it teaches Toyota a lesson and makes them to build their legend on their own and give us a real Supra.
This is a tuner car. It's not really supposed to be impressive in stock form. But that 3L turbo can run rings around any Cayman four pot with a mere ECU flash.
Toyota literally said that BMW gave them the platform,engine,and chassis needed to make the car then after that they went there separate ways with the development.. The design(the body of the car),tuning,and driving is the complete different from the Z4.
@ngcsu noting wrong with the brz/86. They were made to be a really usable platform like all of the drift,drag,track,auto cross,rally cross,or offroad. Same thing with the mk5, they wanted a chassis that can be used for street,track,and drag use and look were they are Now.
Jesus, let it go with the "B M W" its just getting old, and perhaps "the thing to say"... get past it and realise that this is a world class sports car.
It's kind of like Nissan, just very lazy design. For example with nissan, their cars are starting to feel their age now. A 350 or 370z looks dated on the inside, and their needs to be a new gtr already, the rivals have moved on quite some way ahead
Thank God it reminds me in nothing off that Lotus I once had, the Supra is a great car thanks to the cooperation of two fantastic car manufacturers, TOYOTA and BMW.
No wonder they were worried about the Yarris GR disturbing the Supra sales. Yaris GR is forming to be a real classic. My dream car for sure. This I don't want even as a present, don't need another faulty BMW.
The BMW Supra doesn't do it for me. To me it looked kind of old-ish even at launch, i of course hate that it's a BMW in a different suit, and i loathe that it has the playstation fake engine sound bullshit. So very not a car for me. If you do buy one go have the alignment checked. Several Supras have been found to have fucked alignment, which makes them twitchy.
@@matthewcoupeofficial No. I'm talking about actual alignment issues. First I heard of it was from Misha Charoudin, in a video called "The most important Supra mod". He works for Apex at The Ring, and they had trouble with what they felt was an overly twitchy Supra. They had it checked, and - if memory serves me right - the right back wheel was off compared to the left. When he posted that in a Supra owner's chat, several people went and had their twitchy Supra checked, and apparently found the same problem. One wonders why that happened..
@@ExMachinaEngineering not known for having the greatest. Hell, even South Korean automakers are vastly superior when it comes to interior quality compared to Japanese. Not that Japanese interiors are bad. But Germans are well known for having top of the class interiors.
Why do the UK versions all have that terribly positioned "TOYOTA" script just over the Supra badge? It looks awful, there's not enough room for it there.
U could buy a second hand Nissan GT-R for the same money, but I wouldn’t , I would buy a vxr8 Bathurst s. 6.2 v8 supercharged, 560 bhp and 540 ibft of torque. Beautiful car.❤️
"Check this out it's so bizarre" Then she said that there was a "Very unusual thing with the boot" where it isn't separated... Its called a hatchback... They are pretty fucking common...
It’s bizarre because it’s based on a convertible and the rear interior is all weird after disguising the hard points of the monocoque where the folding roof mechanism goes.
Yeah they should've spend a little more effort to hide the BMW underpinnings... On the other hand the Z4 only comes as a roadster, if it was available as a coupe the Toyota's existence would be pointless but this way it kind of makes sense to buy... The thing is, a few stickers and a remodeled interior wouldn't have bankrupted Toyota...
@@mrjjthor My Toyota just got it's second recall of the year. And it has gone in for several TSB's in the last year or two. The only good thing is I bought it new cheap due to the unintended acceleration issue Toyota had a while ago.
@@dcola123 several of my Toyotas has had multiple recalls also. The way I see it, it's better that the manufacturers do the recall and get a free repair rather than brushing off the issues and passing the bill to the consumer.
@@mrjjthor My Prius uses a quart of oil every 500 miles. The solution, an engine rebuild for $2,800. The EGR system needs to be rebuilt/replaced at $800. Intake manifold was so dirty it was causing issues, we replaced it instead of cleaning it at 120k, cost $1,200. All three are know problems. Toyota's response was "cash please". Car is 9 years old with 160,000 miles. This was after we went in for a recall/TSB (?) that fixed the engine from sounding like it was smashing into the front of the car on restarts when cold. I like Toyota cars and will buy more, but I also realize they are good cars, but not perfect, no brand is. I also like BMW's and will buy more in the future too.
I don't understand why Toyota wouldn't spend/invest, and decided to just rebadge this BMW. I mean Toyota are not exactly short of money, they're the most valuable and profitable car manufacturer in the world. Bizarre.
They should try the Porsche counter part which for 52k would be a 2.0l 4 cylinder turbo which after the GPF doesn’t make any sound whatsoever and would not be having forged 19” SatNav heated Seats or anything. Plus the engine builders say it’s one of the best engines out there and capable of double it’s power without mechanical changings. I used to have a 718 cayman S and loved the steering brakes and driving position- but if you love cars or engines you’ll never get used to the engine it’s just not emotional at all 😖
The funny thing is about critics and pundits of the Supra is how they are so critical of it being a BMW, Then the buyers will most likely modify the hell out of it that its barely the same car.
I think it’s great, and guys like Papadakis Racing (TH-cam him) are already doing amazing stuff with the engine! The fact it’s based on BMW stuff... who f*** cares - as long as it’s good!
I nearly bought this actual car than I seen this video, my experience with the dealer after ordering was the annoying part and wondered why I didn’t want this one! After threatening legal action after Toyota advertised if you don’t like you swap it deal I took them up and changed it for a nine press car
What's the equivalent of racism in car speak? I think they were joking mostly, but who cares if it's not a pure German or Japanese car? It's a pure sports car at the end of the day. Meant to be tuned too...which they didn't mention the potential this car has in that regard either. Happy to see the Japanese and Germans working together on something like this ✌☝️❤
I really wish the people that talked about this car . Would do their research about BMW and Toyotas involvement in making this car. They were both very Hands-On in the development of the chassis. Language barrier cause them a lot of trouble. Toyota send every part to their testing area to ensure get the parts that hold up. The engine and Chassis should be Bulletproof. Personally I think it's an amazing car it was not a cheap out on BMW Orr Toyota.

Very few people actually buy sports cars and due to this it means that we're also very educated and not a general consumer who just goes by what they're told to like or what they like the look of. You and I know the weight the supra name carries we also know toyota are amongst the biggest companies out there so that's why most people who were in the market for a sports car felt jaded when Toyota didn't even try to make it themselves or even try make it that different from the BMW its based on and that's also why they're not selling well at the moment as well.
So? The z4 is a good car, Toyota took it and made it lighter and more focused, it looks a lot better too I agree that the interior could be better but it's a great car. The golf gti is the same as a skoda vrs or a seat leon nobody complains about that, by parts sharing you save money and it means more choice for people in this market. Most people don't drive a million cars over their lifetime and won't notice if it has a BMW characteristic, these guys are spoilt with cars and notice the things normal people wouldn't
aproductofboredom The 4th generation Supra didn’t sell that well either and it was pure Toyota. It was on sale in the US between 93-96 and pulled from the market because of low sales. Can’t really blame Toyota for not building the new Supra from scratch.
What did Tiff score it?
With current laws and standards they most likely have to tone down the loudness decibels along with the mileage requirements.
That's probably why they had to make fake engine noise through the stereo.
They should just turn it off, I agree.
Honestly happy they gave their honest opinions. I still like it though!
Let's get a Vicki v. Sabine track match going!
I wonder what it would be like with a seriously tuned Camry v6 engine
I think it would have been incredible specially when you look at lotus I see what they did with the evora Toyotacould I had done better than this could have use existing engine and transmissions they have now and went to TRD and there's something there
Lotus Evora
Or maybe make a brand new straight 6. They have the resources and time for it even though the b58 is a very strong platform. This is a brilliant car on the whole but too much bmw
@@rajtilaksengupta they would have done that but they kept saying it was too expensivebut is really crazy because when they see a Corvette rolled out a pretty much debunked Toyota's claim
i love mine absolutely love it i have the 21 model and not disappointed at all.
As it is stock I would give it a 6/10 just isn't special but if you look up D1GP they are awesome drifting machines.
@Jorn Navarre there was near to no aftermarket for the B58 at the time compared to now and used something that they were used to.
You know you fucked up when the girl gets in and says "oh no it's not a manual."
If a car company like Toyota is no longer able to make cars, then it's not worth being a car company. With this said, the Supra is miserably failing to sell in the US which makes me happy in the hope it teaches Toyota a lesson and makes them to build their legend on their own and give us a real Supra.
This is a tuner car. It's not really supposed to be impressive in stock form. But that 3L turbo can run rings around any Cayman four pot with a mere ECU flash.
Toyota lead designer brings Mr Toyoda back from the dead for his opinion on new supra. Mr Toyoda: Seppuku!!!!!!
It's not a Toyota it's a BMW parts bin special with Toyota badges on it. They have the engineering knowledge to make something special but didn't ...
Toyota literally said that BMW gave them the platform,engine,and chassis needed to make the car then after that they went there separate ways with the development.. The design(the body of the car),tuning,and driving is the complete different from the Z4.
@ngcsu noting wrong with the brz/86. They were made to be a really usable platform like all of the drift,drag,track,auto cross,rally cross,or offroad. Same thing with the mk5, they wanted a chassis that can be used for street,track,and drag use and look were they are Now.
'johnny took me out for a little spin' ...hope you enjoyed it
Jesus, let it go with the "B M W" its just getting old, and perhaps "the thing to say"... get past it and realise that this is a world class sports car.
Holy cow Johnny Smith has lost a lot of hair.
Toyota has lost the plot. They're the largest car manufacturer on the planet and they have to 'badge' Subaru and BMW?
They seem to be getting tired.
hawkesworth1712 its suv age, sports cars dont make them any $$
It's kind of like Nissan, just very lazy design. For example with nissan, their cars are starting to feel their age now. A 350 or 370z looks dated on the inside, and their needs to be a new gtr already, the rivals have moved on quite some way ahead
Only Vicki gave true score for this car. Wtf 8 points. Really.
I love my Supra 2.0 way more than I liked my Porsche Cayman. Worlds apart and the Supra was just so much more fun and enjoyable.
Imagine if they did a team test on the original Supra
Thank God it reminds me in nothing off that Lotus I once had, the Supra is a great car thanks to the cooperation of two fantastic car manufacturers, TOYOTA and BMW.
Jag F type all day long looks better sounds better it's faster and cheaper.
And probably breaks better
Seriously... a fabulous car and you twits are worried about the boot space and stickers.
I put a Lamborghini badge on my Astra. It's now a Lamborghini.
No wonder they were worried about the Yarris GR disturbing the Supra sales. Yaris GR is forming to be a real classic. My dream car for sure. This I don't want even as a present, don't need another faulty BMW.
Did anyone see the BMW x7 in the background. Looked like they tested that on the same day
*( you mean the BMW Z4 test drive. NOT a Toyota. )*
The BMW Supra doesn't do it for me. To me it looked kind of old-ish even at launch, i of course hate that it's a BMW in a different suit, and i loathe that it has the playstation fake engine sound bullshit. So very not a car for me.
If you do buy one go have the alignment checked. Several Supras have been found to have fucked alignment, which makes them twitchy.
It's called electronic steering and run flat tyres makes it "twitchy" a stupid BMW trait......
@@matthewcoupeofficial No. I'm talking about actual alignment issues. First I heard of it was from Misha Charoudin, in a video called "The most important Supra mod". He works for Apex at The Ring, and they had trouble with what they felt was an overly twitchy Supra. They had it checked, and - if memory serves me right - the right back wheel was off compared to the left. When he posted that in a Supra owner's chat, several people went and had their twitchy Supra checked, and apparently found the same problem.
One wonders why that happened..
@@matthewcoupeofficial No run flats on Supras mate.
My problem is the interior is too much bmw...
Weird thing though is, it’s 1,000 times more desirable than a Z4!
people actually complaining about having a good quality interior from a Japanese automaker smh lol
Yeah, because that's what Japanese manufacturers are known for. Low-quality interiors...
@@ExMachinaEngineering not known for having the greatest. Hell, even South Korean automakers are vastly superior when it comes to interior quality compared to Japanese. Not that Japanese interiors are bad. But Germans are well known for having top of the class interiors.
335 hp with 365 rwhp
why the hate? it's got a 5 year warranty. i think they are all sold out too, so that speaks for itself.
Why do the UK versions all have that terribly positioned "TOYOTA" script just over the Supra badge? It looks awful, there's not enough room for it there.
U could buy a second hand Nissan GT-R for the same money, but I wouldn’t , I would buy a vxr8 Bathurst s. 6.2 v8 supercharged, 560 bhp and 540 ibft of torque. Beautiful car.❤️
"Check this out it's so bizarre" Then she said that there was a "Very unusual thing with the boot" where it isn't separated... Its called a hatchback... They are pretty fucking common...
It’s bizarre because it’s based on a convertible and the rear interior is all weird after disguising the hard points of the monocoque where the folding roof mechanism goes.
Yeah they should've spend a little more effort to hide the BMW underpinnings... On the other hand the Z4 only comes as a roadster, if it was available as a coupe the Toyota's existence would be pointless but this way it kind of makes sense to buy... The thing is, a few stickers and a remodeled interior wouldn't have bankrupted Toyota...
It not Toyota... It BMW Supra. Even if there there recall you go to BMW service not Toyota
to be honest, if I had this car, I'd be very nervous about a Toyota tech working on it... even if they get "trained" for it...
There was another recall for the Supra but this time for headlights switches. Guess who is responsible for the recall? You guessed it....BMW.
@@mrjjthor My Toyota just got it's second recall of the year. And it has gone in for several TSB's in the last year or two. The only good thing is I bought it new cheap due to the unintended acceleration issue Toyota had a while ago.
@@dcola123 several of my Toyotas has had multiple recalls also. The way I see it, it's better that the manufacturers do the recall and get a free repair rather than brushing off the issues and passing the bill to the consumer.
@@mrjjthor My Prius uses a quart of oil every 500 miles. The solution, an engine rebuild for $2,800. The EGR system needs to be rebuilt/replaced at $800. Intake manifold was so dirty it was causing issues, we replaced it instead of cleaning it at 120k, cost $1,200. All three are know problems. Toyota's response was "cash please". Car is 9 years old with 160,000 miles. This was after we went in for a recall/TSB (?) that fixed the engine from sounding like it was smashing into the front of the car on restarts when cold.
I like Toyota cars and will buy more, but I also realize they are good cars, but not perfect, no brand is. I also like BMW's and will buy more in the future too.
They did gone big and it’s the LFA. That’s the real Supra MKV.
ITS A FUCKING BMW IT’S NOT A TOYOTA SUPRA
The irony of calling the inside boring, the original Supra interior was very dull
I heard too much complaining about it being a BMW, than just driving the car. It’s a great car I wish everyone would stop crying and drive the thing
I remember a concept of it a few years ago that looked like a Ferrari.
I would buy an alpine A110 over this any time !!
The Alpine lacks style, the Supra turns heads and drives superbly.
@@ianmarsay7105 the supra looks like the caricature of a video games fake car
Clement Eygun Is that not a good thing?!?
@@ianmarsay7105 haha not for me, i prefer a nice clean design without useless fakery (vents...)
I don't understand why Toyota wouldn't spend/invest, and decided to just rebadge this BMW. I mean Toyota are not exactly short of money, they're the most valuable and profitable car manufacturer in the world. Bizarre.
That B58 closed deck motor!
If I had the 50k to buy a new supra - I wouldn't, I'd just buy 2 mk4 supras instead 😁
More like $160 grand for 2 MK4 Supras ...
They should try the Porsche counter part which for 52k would be a 2.0l 4 cylinder turbo which after the GPF doesn’t make any sound whatsoever and would not be having forged 19” SatNav heated Seats or anything. Plus the engine builders say it’s one of the best engines out there and capable of double it’s power without mechanical changings. I used to have a 718 cayman S and loved the steering brakes and driving position- but if you love cars or engines you’ll never get used to the engine it’s just not emotional at all 😖
Those cars have inadvertently cursed each other .
A BMW that looks like a GT86
Specsavers this weekend?
Is this the definition of Nit Picking. Two companies combined cost to deliver an affordable, quality car. Get over it rich boy...
they said bmw so many times that all youtubers who had new supra could not keep up
car is shaking and they want it harder
The funny thing is about critics and pundits of the Supra is how they are so critical of it being a BMW, Then the buyers will most likely modify the hell out of it that its barely the same car.
I love it when rich old people buy cars to drive slowly envied by people young enough to actually push them to their limits.
Wheres Tiff?
Will wait for a Supra made by Toyota. Will keep the cayman for now
I sold my 68 plate Cayman S for an A90. Best move ever it knocks spots off the Porsche on most counts.
You will be waiting forever then. No chance of Toyota going it alone
Unless it's a GT4, no one cares.
Cayman or a civic ek hatch?
For being a BMW, spoils everything
1200 failed test from toyota and where replaced )))
@@noventorp that's not true.....none were ever replaced...
I think it’s great, and guys like Papadakis Racing (TH-cam him) are already doing amazing stuff with the engine!
The fact it’s based on BMW stuff... who f*** cares - as long as it’s good!
I nearly bought this actual car than I seen this video, my experience with the dealer after ordering was the annoying part and wondered why I didn’t want this one! After threatening legal action after Toyota advertised if you don’t like you swap it deal I took them up and changed it for a nine press car
What's the equivalent of racism in car speak? I think they were joking mostly, but who cares if it's not a pure German or Japanese car? It's a pure sports car at the end of the day. Meant to be tuned too...which they didn't mention the potential this car has in that regard either. Happy to see the Japanese and Germans working together on something like this ✌☝️❤
Redline Reviews has entered the chat.
Didn’t know this show was even still airing
Sorry but can you imagine spending £54k on this over literally any other sports car for £54k? I don't get it
I really wish the people that talked about this car .
Would do their research about BMW and Toyotas involvement in making this car. They were both very Hands-On in the development of the chassis. Language barrier cause them a lot of trouble.
Toyota send every part to their testing area to ensure get the parts that hold up.
The engine and Chassis should be Bulletproof.
Personally I think it's an amazing car it was not a cheap out on BMW Orr Toyota.
THE SUPRA is more SUPERB. Then you’ll ever know, unless you drive one! 😈😱🥂🙇🏽♂️
