Where have you been??? And as it's a 'Joint' venture the new Supra and Z4 will possibly/probably be the same car. That's like saying the BRZ is based on the GT86.....joint venture and same car. Infact there it's rumoured that the new Z4 may use the GT86/BRZ platform will be used as a base for new Supra and Z4 Venture.......that makes the Z4 based on a Supra then. Oh and here are just some of the threads you've missed on the topic.

Bit harsh, not everyone's a petrol head :wink:

Quite fancy a Supra now actually :D
 
I must have been in the same parallel universe as oli445.

I have say that those pictures make it look very desirable, but only in black of course :D
 
I've driven the FT-1 in GT6 - going by that experience it'll be awesome :thumbsup:

Thanks Angie4m.

Having got myself up to speed with the links you posted, I can confirm the article I posted has a couple of updated details.

I agree the BRZ and GT86 are the SAME car.

The next gen Z4 will have a different body and drive train to the new Supra, but the same chassis (a BMW one) - hence the Supra being based on the Z4. :thumbsup:

Sorry didn't mean to sound harsh. Suppose there has been a lot of 'chat' on the subject more in he E89 section.

Interesting that every time there is more news about it, it changes. I think I'll wait until they actually make the concept versions and then make up my mind on it. However I know the Z4 replacement will be a better quality of finish than the Supra, saying that if Toyota wanted they could make it equally as good. Just have to wait and see.
 
No worries, it's inevitable that details get changed along the way. I'm looking forward to seeing what actually ends up on the road. I'm still surprised / impressed the i8 is as close to its concept as it is :driving: :thumbsup:
