The new Supra is also believed to share a platform with the new BMW Z4 Roadster, so it makes sense to compare those two. This is why Patrick guessed that the new Toyota Supra would only come in around $46,000—a bit less than the likely more luxury-oriented BMW, but not by a ton.
Yet I think the brand new model, nostalgia for the old model and overall fanciness should command a slightly larger base MSRP. $55,069! Final answer.
Let’s play a game: guess how much the new Supra will be without going over the final price. The winner will receive an imaginary bottle of Jalopnik Lilac Label Reserve Brefass Scotch, which we won’t deliver because it doesn’t exist, but you should guess anyway because we’re genuinely curious.

The new hybrid system could add a significant chunk to the asking price, however, potentially pushing entry-level cars close to the £100,000 mark. That said, it’ll still probably be cheaper than rivals from Porsche and Lamborghini. Adding this system could mean the new GT-R ends up heavier than the outgoing car’s already portly 1,740kg weight,Rumours suggest the new GT-R could be powered by a complex hybrid system with an engine derived from the Japanese firm’s endurance racing program. The company’s Le Mans race car, shown above, used a conventional 3.0-litre V6 petrol engine to drive the front wheels and was originally meant to use a hybrid system on the rears (ultimately, it couldn’t be made to work in time to race). The road-going R36 could use a similar system – hopefully with better luck than the Le Mans car.
