Tarmac@TarmacSportz Posted December 9, 2013 Share Posted December 9, 2013 Dan - 86's are selling bud, I've been on the 86 forum for a while and it is seriously growing fast with new members. Stevo, I stole your picture and put it on my Facebook, sorry dude but I love the Supra Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

marzman Posted December 9, 2013 Share Posted December 9, 2013 My problem with the 86 is everyone know's it's under powered. If it was comparable to a zed in BHP i'd happily drive one but as they are now imho everyone dismisses them as they know they're not that quick.

ZEUS Posted December 9, 2013 Share Posted December 9, 2013 That looks stunning but the way the world is going I wouldn't be surprised if they released it with a 3 cylinder 1 litre fartbox engine in it! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hmm, well they will sell more with a smaller engine, like the 86... But there's a vast array of super/turbo chargers available for those now which makes them pretty appealing. So if they have a small engined sports car I don't think they will produce another or they will be competing with them self. Which means it can either go 3.0l plus or as mentioned Hybrid. Whatever happens I want one. The Supra has always been a car I love 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Suits Posted December 9, 2013 Share Posted December 9, 2013 Not really much of a market for these big powered RWD cars though. Everyone is going nuts for a new Silvia, but who would buy it ?? Same goes for the Supra I feel, even the low powered RWD sports cars are £30'000, WTF would a Supra or a Silvia be, £50/60'000. When you're in that bracket things become very, well what else is there, in a crowded market sector already any big motor factor would struggle to draw up potential sales figures that would warrant all the R&D and testing that would be necessary to give these famous car badges the outcome required and demanded. That's how I sort of see it, as sad as it is . But please, prove me wrong . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ekona Posted December 9, 2013 Share Posted December 9, 2013 Nope. nope what?? Nope, there isn't a stupidly long wait time to get one. I've no doubt that there's a good few sold, but they're an incredibly rare sight on the roads: They make the 370 look popular. There hasn't been 350,000 GT86s produced worldwide, much less registered in the USA! Source, and it's the owner's club too There will be no new Supra. If there is, I'll take a bath in jelly. Green jelly, at that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Suits Posted December 9, 2013 Share Posted December 9, 2013 They make the 370 look popular. Just to bake turd a little a longer here, but I've 100% seen more GT86's on the UK roads than I have 370Z's. About 3/1 easy I'd say. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have to say that I see way more 86's than 370's in Bournemouth, in fact I see more Porsche's and Ferrari's in Bournemouth than 370's, cant even remember the last time I saw a 370's driving along.

hensh65 Posted December 10, 2013 Share Posted December 10, 2013 I hate the GT86 with a passion However when you look at the performance figures of the new line of German hatchbacks then why can't good performance be achieved at a lower cost? Although I do agree with Dan that the market isn't big enough which is ashame! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

About £31,000 I think, so yeah, a lot! baring in mind that it will touch 62 in under 5 seconds it is a lot car for the money. I wouldn't have or want one, but with the price of a BMW and the performance, why can't toyota do the same? I could see them releasing a turbo or supercharged GT86 which would is what it should have had in the first place. Not sure how that would work though with regards to subaru's interests Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
