Technically the Supra will be debuted this week, although probably a camo'd version. And while they are mostly the same, there are many differences also. Supposedly one of their motor options will have an iron block according to Toyota insiders on the MKV site. We shall see though.

But Goodwood will be a "tuned" Supra with a roll cage, stripped interior and presumably non production mechanicals and cosmetics. I think the Z4 will be shown in production form long before the Supra, which will likely not be shown until moments before the apocalypse.

And does BMW have an iron block motor anymore, or does that signify a Toyota motor?

^Nope this will be a near production prototype. You can even see the dash in the teaser. You are thinking of the GR Supra concept that debut back in March. Both Guff and A70TTR have hinted at a fall debut for the Supra. Either October or November.

The iron block was still pretty unbelievable for me too but with the latest stuff from A70 and now this, I can't help but be a believer.

As Guff said, one of Tada's closest friends made a FB post about the block being iron a few days back if anyone was still on the fence. This particular individual is privy to product planning/PR and engineering efforts and generally knows this information before anyone else outside of Tada's inner circle (even myself).

You going to deal with crappy Toyota dealers specializing in $25k Camry and RAV4s! The price needs to reflect the brand. Toyota has ZERO to offer enthusiasts in terms of aftermarket parts/events/support etc.

Chevy has more credibility at this point and actually has dealers that focus on Vettes and Camaro clients.

Toyota dealers will be marking up price by $10-20k believe me.
Not sure if serious. If you are, you are quite oblivious to JDM sports cars.

And who cares about the badge? I'm all about the performance. I drive because I love it, not to make a fashion statement.

Also, who cares about the dealership? I shop knowing exactly what I want. The dealer is just there to push paper.

Aftermarket support?... Ok now I know this is a troll.

I'm not interested in a debate on the topic, but this comment seems extraordinarily naive to me. Luckily our opinions likely mean nothing to each other. Have a great day and carry on.

JDM scene is going to show BMW aftermarket how to properly tune a BMW engine. They’ll have this thing with a giant single turbo pushing big boost in no time.

VIN is #3 in the production series. I wonder where #1 and #2 are -- as well as #4, #5, #6, etc. ...

Looks more like an RX-8 reboot. Why the pointy nose? Paint it purple and it's Gonzo.
I hope it looks better without the stickers, sorry, decals.

And for some reason they seem to want to remind us of how awful they were in F1.

They can't please everyone, but overall the FT-1 got tons praise.

The car was always going to be called Supra. In the early stages the Calty team did refer to it as 'Supra'.

The GR Supra concept also has the same nose.

I don't dislike the beak, but some of the renders seem to play it up a little too much.
