Apparently not to be outdone by their sports car partners at Toyota today, BMW dropped a bunch of news about the new Supra’s platform-mate the 2019 Z4. We have confirmed power specs for the turbocharged inline-six engine, and now for the upcoming four-cylinder variant too. Get excited.
It’s been a long time coming. It has been 25 years since the launch of the last Toyota Supra, way back in 1993. The internet was barely out of diapers back then, and all you really needed in life was a manual gearbox, a turbocharged 2JZ engine, a gigantic hoop spoiler on the trunk and your favorite tuner on speed dial.…
Here we are, in a day and age where BMW has brought back the 8 Series and co-developed the new 2019 BMW Z4 roadster alongside the damn Toyota Supra revival, which sounds like an 18 year-old’s fever dream circa 2012. It’s too bad BMW is going to ruin it.
The new 2019 Toyota Supra is currently the most-discussed car that we know almost nothing about (besides the mid-engine Corvette, of course.) We haven’t seen the new Supra without camouflage yet, and we don’t even know exactly how much power its twin-turbo, BMW-sourced engine will put out, to say nothing of exact…
The new BMW Z4, sister to the Supra, is a handsome car in person, with a funky grille, funky seats, and a 3.0-liter B58B30 turbo straight six. What’s less impressive in person is how it sounds. This is a 340-horsepower sports car. It should sound snappy and wild, right?
The 2019 BMW Z4 had the unfortunate luck of images leaking at least three times, which means most people had already formed their opinion of its new design direction before the car was even revealed. But now it’s here, so does it look good or did BMW overdo it?
The brand-new 2019 BMW Z4 Roadster has officially showed its face at this year’s Monterey Car Week. It looks quite excellent.
Official press photos have been leaked for the upcoming 2019 BMW Z4, all before its official release later this month at the Pebble Beach Concours D’Elegance. It looks pretty good without all that camouflage!
Earlier in June, Jalopnik was able to scoop up some patent photos from Autoweek that were rumored to show the 2019 BMW Z4 way before anyone officially decided to say anything. We’ve been living in shades of gray since then, wondering exactly what the real Z4 is going to look like in the flesh.
There I was, in Nürburg (as in, the Nürburgring), walking through the night to get a beer or two at the Pistenklause, the town bar. There’s a BMW center there, and I stopped to look at the DTM car chilling in their lobby. Neat! Cool car. But, wait, what’s that in the parking lot? Oh. It’s the new Toyota Supra and BMW…
The highly anticipated new Toyota Supra will share a platform with the upcoming BMW Z4 in a fascinating collaboration between two companies with very different cultures. Moto Miwa from Toyota enthusiast blog Club4AG compiled interviews with the Supra’s chief engineer, Tetsuya Tada, and shed light on just how different…
It has taken years but the original BMW Z4's looks have finally grown on me. What does that mean? Should I buy one? What is the right answer here?
The last time Toyota teamed up on production duties with another automaker, we got the GT86 and the Subaru BRZ—cars that are very good, but also nearly identical in every way. We know that the new Toyota Supra will share a platform, transmission and engine with the new BMW Z4, but apparently their driving experiences…
I know I’m going to get a lot of hate for this take, but I don’t care. I gotta LIVE MY TRUTH. I gotta FOLLOW MY BLISS. And my bliss, for this exact moment, is what looks to be the 2019 BMW Z4, revealed in these patent drawings way before the curtain officially drops.
The upcoming all-new BMW Z4 is the often-chastised German brand’s attempt to convince us all that the sports car isn’t dead, and that it can beat the Porsche Boxster. A pre-production drive reported by Auto Express promises the car is “somewhere between good and very good.” If true this also bodes well for the new …
Today we’re going to learn about the three different stages of “oh, shit” from the new owner of a BMW Z4 and his passenger-friend recording him drive it straight into a wall.
If you were hoping the upcoming revival of the Toyota Supra would get a manual transmission, you are just setting yourself up for disappointment. Either way, a new interview with Tetsuya Tada, Toyota’s Global Chief of Engineering, suggests the new Supra will get a dual-clutch transmission instead.
Hello, and welcome back to the exhausting news cycle surrounding the alleged upcoming all-new successor to the Toyota Supra. Today’s update comes from Auto Express, which claims the new car will debut at the Geneva Motor Show under the Gazoo Racing brand.
Car sales overall weren’t as stellar as they’ve been in the United States last year. Yet predictably, the best-sellers were comprised largely of a group of trucks, SUVs and crossovers. No surprises there. The worst-sellers, tragically, were a smattering of fun enthusiast cars, small cars and phased-out models.
The new Toyota Supra: What’s the deal? Where is it? We’ve seen that camo’d mule running around now since people could still tolerate Taylor Swift, and yet no concept or production car has surfaced. All speculation about its future aside, we know where it’s been lately: chilling in Italy with some BMWs.
