Why are people complaining about this concept car? There's aleady a concept car being used for Gr.3. Does it make sense to have another Toyota Gr.3 car?
I'll find out for myself, soon enough. However, I know I complain and whine in the appropriate thread as well. Thing is, this is great! The Mk IV Supra is in. The Mk V Supra is in a game, where noone else, no other players in other games, can drive it. We will all be the first to get in and "drive", even before journalists.
Past games, we got different types of 86s, forget the Skylines and MX-5s. Let the Supra shine, people.

Really, most of the Group X cars deserve better. The only cars that make sense for Group X to me are the Tomahawk GTS-R, Tomahawk X (The Tomahawk S could fit in N1000), the kart, the Chaparral 2X and the F1500T-A (Unless they add more formula cars). This Supra concept deserves to go into Group 3 alongside the FT-1 VGT.

I thought it was coming in march, guess this means they're adding 13 cars this month?

Hopefully it isn't a sign that this is the last free car.

Na... no... I don't like it. Of course, the FT-1 looks great - but the production form of the new Supra is watered down too much from it. It looks like an inflated version of the original concept.
Although the Gr.X is a big mess in GT (honestly, the formula cars or classic race cars need an own class - really), I have to say all the VGT cars or other concepts with no simulation value should be thrown in there. Cars like the S-FR racing concept simply ruin every N300 / N400 lobby because they are irrationally fast and every n00b takes that car unless the host reminds (or kicks them) them of not using that thing.

It freaking GTE car, there no way PD that stupid throw it in Group X. It have to be group 3 car since GTE car and GT3 car have mostly same power ratio.

Obviously it looks too rounded because of the wide bodykit Toyota has added to it. I reckon they could've done more to make the FT-1 Supra more "Supra-ish", but it's been 16 years since the A80 Supra so who knows what evolutionary designs it might've taken during that time. Remember the massive difference between the R34 & R35 GT-Rs? Some could argue about the radical redesign that had. But then again, at least Nissan didn't tie the Skyline name to the R35.
It's interesting to see the old 2000GT have a lot of influence on the A80, 86GT and FT1. In theory, they should've just called this the 2000GT-S or something.

If anything this Supra GTE should replace the FT-1 in Gr.3.
It's basically the real version of the car PD created for GT Sport. If BoP and balancing is an issue, use the FT-1 specs for the Supra, and just alter the engine note to whatever this new car is expected to sound like.

It says it's coming in April, so that would be the following car pack.
I do hope this is a GR3 car. It looks like it's ready for GTE competition and, for immersion reasons, I so dislike the FT1 VGT GR3 car.
Look at GrX and tell me there isn't already a bunch of cars in there that should be assigned to a different class.
Personally, GrX should have been for VGT's only. Everything else can be classified in the N classes.

I can't fathom why they would think this way. Toyota has a history of producing cars which are essentially a blank canvas for tuners, and still do today. The Toyota GT86, Lexus RC F and even the Lexus LC 500 are big in the car customisation scene, so why not let people experience what it would be like to modify a Toyota/Lexus virtually?

Eh, it's all about brand image. A bit different but still similar were the rumors Honda didn't want to be in anything involving street racing. Same concept, they don't want their cars portrayed a certain way so they won't allow it is all. Is it dumb? Yeah. But these are all just rumors anyways.

There was a leak a week or so back with a magazine showing the road and racing concept and it says the race car is specced for GTE along with the engine details for the road going car.

I wouldn't take this over the FT-1 Gr.3. This thing looks way too fat. It's so tall for the wheel and tire size. Like they asked a kid to draw the FT-1 from memory.
I honestly think it doesn't look like a real race car. I know, I know. It's a concept. But this concept looks more "kiddy" than the GT86.
EDIT: I think I got it. If this concept is purely promotional, then they probably didn't put the full attack into designing this race car. They probably just got the road car and were asked to make it look like a race car. It seems to have that street car with a body kit slapped on look, as far as proportions go.

I am with ya on the old school. I want the old school more than I want any real life tracks. If I want I can get those from other games. Le Mans as always been kind of meh for me in GT. Half of it is kind of boring. For real life locations there are others that would be higher on my list but I get the appeal. It would be nice to have triple the track list but maybe when gt7 or gts2 rolls around. Hehe how about Seattle?

Some clarification about the Toyota license.
As PD and Toyota are both Japanese companies, they don't necessarily have to apply for a license contract to put Toyota in the game as that is all under US copyright law. Toyota could have simply granted PD the approval to put their cars in without a lot of paper work. Perhaps the Toyota problems in other racing games is due to change of opinions for Toyota USA and not the Japanese Toyota.
The GR Supra may as well be a timed exclusivity deal that other driving games have been doing in the past. See the Toyota 86 GT, Corvette C7, BMW M4, GT-R LMP1, as GT examples.
