The only thing I don't like about that render is that nose on the front. That's one of the only styling points from the FT-1 that I wouldn't miss if Toyota did not add it to the production Supra. It just looks off in comparison to the rest of the car.

The rendering makes the car look way too tall. The gap between the tires and the wheel well is part of the problem, along with the front fascia's overall height. The rear half of the car should be stretched to smooth out the roofline, which looks like it could be chopped an inch lower. The rest of the car needs to be widened slightly to give it the appearance of being firmly planted on the ground. That's my take on the car.

Toyota has been doing some really weird things with their cars front ends, the overly aggressive looks of the new Camry and Corolla models have ruined their looks tbh. For them to be going for a soft design for their supercar would be extremely strange when almost all their current car designs feature striking front appearances now.

The rear is like a more aggressive Lexus IS but the front is hideious, but overall this car should be called a Celica the performance is not going to be close to what you would expect the Supra to be at the width of the car and it being based on a Z4 will tell you that right away.

Yeah because cars have naturally grown since the 90s(especially in Width), the Supra hasn't had a newer model to replace it to show the growth. Even though that picture is lies as the Supra is still wider and longer then the 86 by a decent margin(the picture isn't in the centre so what would you expect)
86:
Length 4,240 mm (166.9 in)
Width 1,775 mm (69.9 in)
Mk4 Supra:
Length 4,515 mm (177.8 in) (1993–1998)
4,514 mm (177.7 in) (1999–2002)
Width 1,811 mm (71.3 in)
I mean the last gen Celica that came out was larger then the BMW Z3 which was sold at the same time, now the evolved version of that makes the base for the current Supra seems strange.

Well you can't really see about 1.5 inches of difference in the photo, and since the cars are facing the camera you can't see the length difference either.
True, however if they go for slightly less power, less complex system and sell it for much cheaper, they'll sell a crap ton of them.

I personally don't think these renderings will do the actual sheet-metal car justice. Toyota has proven they can make very good-looking cars in the past, and I hope that it'll remain the same.

I dunno if it's just me, or does that look like it has restricted rear visibility, as well as very minimal blindspot visibility?

So perhaps a turbo-4 base model and a hybrid turbo-6 flagship (with possible Gazoo branding) are going to be made available?

So as it seems the latest test mule seems to be using a GT86 body, you can just tell from the chassis. Although, my concern is the size, it's way to tall as rather than low and wide like the concept. If the final looks like this it's not good enough and much to be like another GT86.
The guy in the Test Mule car looks like Donald Trump.

Don't think it's an '86 body in disguise. Relationship of side window to roofline quite different. The length between the trailing edge of the front wheelarch and the leading edge of the windscreen is longer. The door shut is a different shape, both overhangs are longer, and some of the FT-1's details are quite apparent in the curves around the rear light.
They might be testing it on a GT86 platform, which would explain why the wheelbase looks quite short (though those wheels probably aren't production-spec), but I expect below the disguise the body is pretty much final. In fact, I'd be surprised if it isn't - styling is usually signed off years before development work is finished. The production Supra/whatever-it's-called was probably in clay models while the FT-1 was being shown at motor shows.

Annnnd the side profile is completely ruined for me now.
