My only problem with the render is that the front fascia seems a bit... flat. Like it had a slight head-on accident with a wall. Maybe if they rounded the front bumper a bit it'll look even better, but I already like it more than the FT-1 without the stupid F1 style nose. The location of the Toyota badge also looks a bit off relative to the headlights.

The way it winds up is interesting, kind of like a low-pitch LFA maybe.

I thought it sounds more like a supercharger since Toyota seems to favor those over turbochargers these days..

Topspeed (an auto news blog) just uploaded a new render based on the camouflaged prototype.
Looks like it's taking the NSX route of not looking anything like it's predecessor.

How come no one's talking about BMW's version of the car?

Wait, there's going to be a Beemer varient of this thing? I thought it was just going to be sold under Toyota with BMW helping out unless I've been misinformed.
@Tornado not really, only agree 30%, i wasn't talking about the whole car, some parts are worth adapted
Examples like ford GT/ 911 had way far back years compared to supra, but there are some parts that won't look old/ crap that can be brought forward and re-used/ adapted
In supra case
agreed but the rear lights and its fat/ wide/ aggressive rear can be adapted as shown below
@TS040, looks better than the render that @MrWaflz55 posted in the previous page imo,
remove the 86 rims and replaced with the 666 style rims will look much better in the red render

Not that I can see. The A80 was designed at the peak of anonymous blobby 1990s car design and it shows even at the time, just like every previous generation had been a blatant me-too effort of something else already on the market. The A60 was the only one I think that would have really stood out, if only because it debuted so early in the decade that it was before most of the cars that came to define "80's sporty coupe".
The 911 has been in continuous production with evolutionary design changes for 50 years, despite the big scare towards the end of the 964 generation. The Ford GT was a famous race car which ten years ago was resurrected in 11/10ths scale before it was updated as the current car with modern design themes. Both of those were iconic.
The A80 Supra was an also-ran sport coupe in a market that was oversaturated and collapsing before the car even came out.
And there's no reason to do either thing. About the closest the Supra ever got to design cohesion as it went on was when the A70 kept the flipup headlights the A60 had, but in a decade where even the Honda Accord had flipup headlights. If the camoflaged car on the previous page is a test mule, and with the car being co-developed with the help of BMW, then Toyota seems to be making a very different car from what the A70 and A80 Supra were when on the market. That precludes making it big and muscular and in your face, and that precludes throwing in a bunch of awkward stylistic touches to appease people who would never give up their A80s to buy it anyway.

@Tornado, i don't know about the market, so i won't comment on it
supra is too, it is used in jgtc/ super gt for almost a decade
Agreed. Perhaps, then they should not called it supra then? or are they riding on previous "success" or familiar name like 86?
agree 50%, those 90s styles of big/muscular are gone/ a fad.... in that case, however, they can still make it wide/ aggressive and lean at the same time, just a matter of styling...
quoting @Wolfe post at #220
Either way, i wish the production model will have more aggressive style (like the FT-1 or some parts of A80) not like this "conservative" mule

And the W-Body Monte Carlo raced in NASCAR for nearly as long and with about as much relevance.supra is too, it is used in jgtc/ super gt for almost a decade
Maybe the A80 shouldn't have been called Supra, since it was almost nothing like the first two generations and most markets didn't get the A70s that were similar.
Or perhaps people should stop wildly overinflating how much of an impact the A80 actually had on the market to think that a concept car for a name resurrection needs to show its lineage on its shoulder to a car that debuted 25 years ago (and to be the first Supra to do so, to boot).

If there's an impression I get from the footage, it's that it seems very heavy. Don't ask me why, it seems to be lumbering along as it goes.

I don't know how it could be, it looks almost MX-5 Sized.
Unless it has some hybrid equipment or a heavy engine i don't really see it as possible.
The quietness of the engine to me wouldn't suprise me if this does in fact have a Hybrid situation going.

This is apparently the BMW version of the car.

I'm not feeling it so far. It doesn't have to have a retro look, or anything similar (I dig the new NSX), but I'm afraid it will simply be a big brother of the GT86, similar looking, just more expensive with higher performance. To me, the Supra should be more, it should be Toyotas flagship sportscar, which stands out from the rest of their cars.
