Reborn Toyota Supra Will Be More Similar To The Z4 Than You Think

The new Toyota Supra is arguably one of the most eagerly awaited sports cars, principally because we've been waiting so long for it. We were hoping to finally see it at last year's Tokyo Motor Show, but it was conspicuously absent. There have been countless rumors about the reborn Japanese sports car, but new information has emerged onBimmerpostfrom a source that is known to be reliable. We've known for a while that the new Supra (orwhatever Toyota decides to call it) willshare the same platform as the upcoming BMW Z4 successor.

However, the source on Bimmerpost suggests that both models will have more in common than we previously thought. According to the source, the new Supra will inherit several engines from the Z4, including a 195-hp 20i, 255-hp 30i, and 335-hp 40i. This means that the 380-hp Z4 M40i engine will only be offered by BMW in North America and selected markets outside of Europe. And the similarities don't stop there. Apparently, the Supra will be a "Toyota in name and body design only", as everything else will be lifted from BMW including the options, colors, and interior materials. Don't forget, too, that it probablywon't even wear a Toyota badgeand will instead be part of the automaker's Gazoo Racing sub-brand.
