Supra spy shots

Post by john-e89 » Tue Nov 29, 2016 1:24 pm

Hey just a heads up there's a few more revealing spy shots of it on Pistonheads front page if anyone is interested. Sorry I'm not sure how to do links... :oops:

Looks like a Z4 coupe in side profile. :)

Looks very much like a gt86 to me (instead of the z4 coupe, although they are of course all similar type of cars).

If someone would have said it was the new gt86 I would have believed it instanly (with the low nose etc):

Wow yes it does, the roof lines running down to the spoiler are very close in comparison.

The GT86 is a lovely looking car.
Just a shame that they dont do it with a bigger engine and better looking wheels, although the wheels on that one look good.

Looks good!

I was initially disappointed when I read that the Z5 would be convertible only and Supra would be Coupe only, but the Z4 has always been mostly convertible and the Supra never was so that makes sense!

Photos of the Toyota look very E86 like, even down to the double-bubble roof.

As a committed Coupe owner I must confess I may want a Toyota more than a BMW :cry:

Just so long as Toyota put the right engine in it please, please, please - a straight 6 with (or without) a turbo would be great. :thumbsup:

There might actually be 2 Toyotas I would think of buying (GT86 is the other), after a decade or so of white goods cr*p - amazing!

Looks good! :thumbsup:

Although with that long and low nose you can get into a scrape fest if not careful!

Really like the look of that. It's so similar that I'm really curious to how the final version will look.

I wonder whether it and the new Z4 will be revealed at the Detroit motor show next week?

Saw these pics a while back when they were testing it at Nuremberg.
C'mon BMW it looks s**t! I loath these 'banker' coupes. The Jag, the Bentley and so on. They have no sexiness, it doesn't say
sports car, it says I've had a bonus or I'm a successful dentist.. boring, unimaginative, dull.
I was hoping they'd come out with something that was going to be a super Z4. But hey, they've got a team of marketeers that
know exactly what the 'Average Joe' wants.
