Fantastic news, looking forward to see them on the road and quite awesome to see Lexus going after the manual gearbox!

 

[Trexus]

Yes! Keeping the F models alive and manual gearbox which is very rare indeed.

 

[maiaramdan]

wow 😲 😳

So far amazing news
Hope they will make a 2JZ i6, 3.0l at the top end so they won't put a lot of pressure on the i4, 2.0l

 

[F1 Silver Arrows]

WHAT?

That's crazy news!

 

[Gecko]

WHAT?

That's crazy news!

Makes me wonder if the A100 might be a 4cyl?

Makes me wonder if the A100 might be a 4cyl?

If the A100 is the MR2 thing then yeah probably. Otherwise I don't think we will have an FR A100.

 

[JustADude]

600hp out of a 2.0L, gives me some hope about the 4.0L V8. Maybe 1200hp? 🤣🤣

 

[MrT]

Can we assume that 1.5/1.5T is for fwd applications and 2.0T for rwd?

 

[ssun30]

Can we assume that 1.5/1.5T is for fwd applications and 2.0T for rwd?

Given how compact these engines are, they will definitely fit both transverse and longitudinal applications.

The 2.0T replaces the T24 which is also used in several TNGA-K products. The 1.5T might be used in the upcoming FJ Cruiser too.

I hope not, but this actually makes sense. My gut is telling me this is the turbo-hybrid A100 GR Supra that was talked about by A70TTR. The power levels were around what he was suspecting the A100 would have as well.

If the A100 is the MR2 thing then yeah probably. Otherwise I don't think we will have an FR A100.

No. It's happening.

With toyota's messaging system, everything they say should always be taken with a grain of salt imo. Are they stress testing this motor's limits with the 600hp number or is this the actual production target?

2JZ is legendary, and right now we know the benchmark is the B58 in the inline 6 space.
4 pots would be GR motors, so hoping that team had direct input on this new series of engines.

Given insider information, it was nearly 600 horsepower, so somewhere in the 500 mark.

Yeah nothing would get me excited like a six-cylinder.

 

[mediumhot]

So, is Supra made by Toyota happening then or what?

All joking aside hopefully this sees the light of the day. Not gonna steal the thunder here and name other JDM that made 400hp out of 2.0T mated to both manual and dual clutch transmissions ten years ago. Better late than never.

I assume you mean Mitsubishi, but they never made a 400 hp model though.

 

[Gor134]

I don't see a 4-cylinder Supra happening unless it's the mid-engine model. They made a whole big deal about partnering with BMW because it HAD TO have an i6, and for them to go back on that naw I don't think so.

 

[Flagship1]

a couple things:
-toyota is electrifying every platform refresh and will get rid of Ice only platforms.
-That hypercar project that now has become a supercar and some sportscars is following this mantra out the gate. Pairing a small 4 pot with a battery and motor are naturally happening. The whole inline 6 was for today. 6 cylinder engines will become the new v8, powertrain only fit for the higher end of the offerings on vehicles.

Well, despite how successful and well-loved the A90 was by many, there were a handful of people who were still hung up on that detail. It's pretty annoying.

 

[mediumhot]

Yes.

After poorly tuned ride of 360hp version they redeemed themselves with pretty much rally car like 400hp superb version (like current Yaris GR of today) and then 440hp version was a farewell (which was actually a test bed for SST OEM modifications). For very complicated reasons this car never saw the light of the day in Japan so they shoved the cars to UK and UK ralliart branch tweaked the engine and ECU. Technically Evo VIII FQ400 was the first 405 two cylinder back in 2005 but that car was more of a pet project of someone in Mitsu Ralliart than actual factory supported car, it sold in single digit numbers. Evo X with FQ badging on the other hand was completely supported by Mitsubishi Japan. Both Evo X FQ400 and FQ440 ended up selling right around 80 pieces which is spectacular if you ask me.
