But you're missing the point, it's not the stock number most owners care about. It's it's tunability and penchant for easy hp. If you can do simple FBO and get 100hp like before and not sacrifice any reliability , then it's going to gain a mass following easily (and lots of MKIV converts in the process).

I had a 93 TT and a 97 TT, and well aware what it could do stock. Back then it was still in the same performance realm as the 300z, RX7, and vR4 (I know, I cross shopped them all). And I dynod my Supra as well and made around 280whp stock (375 when BPU).

I think this engine will be highly tuneable. I’m sure with a simple flash tune you can pick up 100hp.
For my M3 there are endless amounts of tuning available.

Still can't get over that nose bump. Looks dumb, like it's trying to mimic an F1-nose. They are not involved in F1 so why even have it? I bet the BMW looks better but the Supra has the better performance. Not feeling this 'Supra'. They should call it something else and save the Supra name for something more appropriate that looks closer to a Toyota version of the Lexus LC, not a squished and slightly wider GT86.

“Road & Track web editor Chris Perkins had the chance to speak with Supra chief engineer Testsuya Tada at the Goodwood Festival of Speed a few days ago, and the Toyota employee confirmed that there will indeed be a four-cylinder Supra. Tada also elaborated, saying the four-cylinder Supra will be lighter, with “much better weight distribution” and a sharper-feeling turn-in. Tada also remarked that, for the Supra owners who plan to swap in a 2JZ engine, “please buy the four-cylinder. It will be cheaper.”

The lower-powered version uses the BMW B48B20 turbocharged four-cylinder engine displacing two liters and producing 262 horsepower, while the high-power version will use the single-turbo inline-six B58B30 BMW engine and will produce 335 horsepower, according to the document.
the forums there isn't as regulated and nice as it is here. The MKV forums will be nicer with more updated information than Supraforums.
