Yea I took lessons learned from my SC days when I did the Supra ha ha. Took a Buddy of mine who was a VG purist for a ride and he was shocked at how quick it spooled, he now has a 2jzgte swapped Z32. Correct the R888's are loud I only run them on rear had them on front and they were noticeable. The new R888R's are slightly quieter I've been told will switch out to those next.

Default 2020 Toyota Supra rear leaked
This yellow looks good. I like the integrated rear wing/trunk. Full reveal at Detroit mid January.

Nice rear. Like the taillights, and always been a fan of what I believe is a center brake light

Yup they used the BMW B58 I6 so it had an inline 6.

Looks are subjective I will wait until actual reveal pics Jan 14th and seeing one in person to pass judgement.

Looks OK I guess - all the fake vents are a bit much especially the ones on the doors.
BRZ is a much cleaner design.

^^^^ calmer heads prevail.

I wonder why they would use a Inline6? The V6 is lighter, smaller and torquier by design.

The inline 6 has traditionally been the motor option for the Supra.

Nope the "official" reveal is January 14th at Detroit Auto show, tons of renders and leaked pics of certain body parts but nothing yet from Toyota.
