Yeah, not really a fan. Neither the street, nor the racing version make me excited.

If it looks wider in person it might be okay, but if it is as Narrow as it looks then it has no appeal to me.
It still blows my mind that the worlds largest car maker can't make it's own Halo car, it just says to me they couldn't be bothered and they just looking for a cash grab to ride an iconic name.

They did that with the MkIV and look what happened.
Toyota canned all their sports/sporty cars. They're rebuilding that image with GR. I'm happy Toyota haven't given up. It's not an FT-1. I'm glad. At least it's not a sky high ultra expensive car, I still won't be able to afford 20 years from now.
How much would Toyota lose on such a car next to the A90? I feel they've aimed smartly. Again, maybe, if this one is successful, maybe the car grows into something more pleasing to those not liking the current look.
I dunno. Maybe there should be two sub threads: an "epic whining and crying wish it looked like the FT-1" and an epic "I like it" one.

Fun Fact: Because the European spec of the Lexus RC-F has been nerfed to 451hp (thanks to emissions laws), the Supra is 0.2 seconds quicker to 60mph than the Lexus!
I'd like to see a quarter mile drag race between the two.In other news, the launch edition wheels look far better. 👍

If anything, I'd probably say the new Supra a bit too many lines and a bit overaggressive. But then too, these are more of the design trends of late for Toyota. Not even the MKIV Supra was totally aggressive for its looks for its time. We're probably going to get used to this design unless some completely different styling change happens within a few years. What probably is driving most people away (no pun intended) is its looks. The front elements at the grill would work on the Ferrari 488 GTB, but not so much this car. It's usually the front of any vehicle that provides the biggest impression; and if you don't look great up front, chances are, you are not going to be liked very much. I do think the profiles at the sides and rear are fairly nice. Most of my knocks on its design are mostly up front. While I never really liked the style of the FT-1, I never hated it.
Red has always been my favorite color for the MKIV Supra. Since blue is my favorite color, I can imagine this car looking great in a sapphire-like blue or maybe even a sky blue color. Toyota may even tap into their Lexus arm and give it their beautiful Structural Blue color. A warm silver would also be nice. As for racing liveries, one would imagine this Supra in a number of throwback liveries. You know- Castrol (1990s), Denso (1990s-2000), Petronas, AU Cerumo, Esso Ultraflo, and a lot of the classics.
So would I get the new Supra as we know it and as much as we know about it? I probably would. That is unless I wanted to buy a secondhand MKIV Supra in decent condition instead.

The stats on the Japanese-spec base model look a bit anaemic. Wonder if that version will be sold in other markets?

Here's the back of the SuperGT version
Looks fantastic IMO. i wish the actual road car was more like this, specially the front bumper.

Cheaper actually.
The Turbo in 1998, when adjusted for inflation, would be about $62,400.
This would be quite the bargain, and would probably handle a thousand times better.

Nissan could easily get a little more mileage out of the Z by sticking in the VR30TT engine from the Q60. I'm betting it wouldn't even necessitate a price increase. Maybe give it a slight facelift. 400hp @ 3200lbs would look quite good on paper against the Supra, especially at $20k less. If nothing else, it would be a nice last hurrah for the Z34.

If anything I find it funny how people are complaining about how it isn’t a complete supercar like the GTR and the same people complain that it lost all of its heritage and that it doesn’t deserve to wear the Supra badge. In reality, this car is closer to how the old Supra would be in today’s market both price wise and performance wise. GTR’s were never supercars up until the R35 came out. I bet these same people who want GTR performance figures would be complaining about the price that type of car would be going for.
