Toyota Cattle Wang Mo was robbed for selling 400,000 yuan! Launch a real fragrance warning next month!
We should know that Toyota "abandoned" the Toyota 86 and some large-displacement SUVs in China earlier because of the emission policy and other reasons. Therefore, when the domestic Japanese JDM powder is still immersed in the good news that the new Supra has been introduced to China, it may be thanks to the hybrid cars sold by Toyota. After all, it has the opportunity to "willfully" prevail.
Toyota Supra was launched in 1990s, and was once one of the four famous sports cars in Japan, along with Honda NSX, Mazda RX-7 and Mitsubishi 3000GT. However, these four heavenly kings have already parted ways. Today, the brand-new Honda NSX is still a sports car worth millions, Mazda RX-7 still lives in the rotor myth, and Mitsubishi 3000GT has become tens of thousands of used cars.
Therefore, it is normal for the identity of the new Supra to change. The reason why Toyota Supra's business cards are widely circulated is inseparable from the contribution of the fourth generation models. 1993 introduced the fourth generation Supra code-named A80, and the sleek body appearance is enough to impress people.
It is the 2JZ-GTE twin-turbo inline six-cylinder engine with great potential. It is not a problem for folk modification enthusiasts to adjust the horsepower to several thousand horsepower, which is why the fourth generation Supra has the title of "Niu Wangmo".
However, Supra is very dynamic, but the control is not very good, so it is often considered as "the king of straight lines, and the curve is dead", which is why the old Supra prefers to be active in the 04(0-400 meters) linear acceleration race. In addition, Toyota Supra is also a real "star", which frequently appears in major games and movies, especially influenced by The Fast and the Furious 1.
So is today's new Supra still like this? At present, many people call it the new Supra, not the new Supra, because the car is built on the same platform as the BMW Z4. Although the two cars are different in appearance, they are similar in many details.
First of all, the interior of the new Supra has no extreme sports style. Anyway, this set of interiors is more willing to express the combination of sports and comfort. Careful observation shows that the air conditioning control area, handle bracket and electronic handle are all a bit "BMW flavor".
The real BMW gene is hidden in the engine. Take the overseas edition as an example. 3.0T? The new Supra is equipped with a 3.0T inline six-cylinder BMW engine code-named B58B30, with a maximum power of 340 HP. Even though the specific parameters of the new Supra introduced into China have not been announced, it has been reported that the new car will be equipped with the same engine of BMW Z4, and the 2.0T version will be launched in advance.
Therefore, we can refer to the powertrain of the current BMW Z4, including 2.0T and 3.0T versions. The former is a 2.0T four-cylinder low-power engine with a maximum power of 197 HP, while the latter is a 3.0T six-cylinder engine with a maximum power of 340 HP. Therefore, the maximum power of the new 2.0T Toyota Supra introduced into China is likely to be the same as the former, while the 3.0T version of Toyota sold overseas has not been introduced.
Because the new Supra is the product of "changing the shell Z4", many fans said that it is difficult to accept it, and Supra is a dispute between true and false. Some people think that the old Supra has not been seriously introduced to China, so the arrival of the new Supra has been satisfied; Some people think that the new Supra in the new era only keeps the name of the car, and the rest cannot represent the name of the old Supra. In the professor's opinion, this is another way for Toyota to inherit the Supra car series. Correct or not depends on different people's attitudes.
It is precisely because of the authenticity of Supra that it is widely speculated how much the new Supra will sell after it is introduced into China. Before that, we need to know that the old Supra is "warming up" on a global scale. For example, the fourth-generation Supra just mentioned, some models without modification history can be sold at overseas auctions for 654.38+0 million RMB, which is simply a sentimental price now.
And 20 19 north american auto show overseas edition 3.0T? Supra, its price range is 49,900-55,200 USD, equivalent to 337,400-372,900 RMB. It can be seen that the new Supra is a medium-sized small sports car, which can also be said to be above the Toyota 86.
In fact, there is no need to speculate on the price of the new 2.0T Supra introduced into China. Many people directly compare it with the 2.0T BMW Z4, which is 488,800-508,800 yuan. If it is true, with 500,000 yuan in hand, it will be a new question whether to choose a BMW with more brand value or a Toyota with more sentimental value.
The reason why most people must think that the 2.0T version basically sells at this price is actually because earlier, domestic fans have bought the overseas version of Supra with 3.0T through parallel import channels. It is understood that the total transaction price of this car exceeds 700,000 yuan, and even many parallel importers have played a price increase, and the landing price is as high as more than 800,000 yuan.
But the contradiction lies in whether Toyota, as a product of the same platform rather than a luxury brand, will close Supra or set it higher than BMW Z4 because of its feelings. In addition, it is rumored that Toyota will only introduce a few models into China and sell them in the form of limited sales, so the new Supra may see a price increase in China.
The professor believes that the introduction of Toyota Supra is a good start, and as a sports car that has not been officially introduced, if we ignore the feelings of the model, on the basis of the same platform of BMW Z4, the new Supra is priced at the target value of Toyota, which is acceptable between 400,000 yuan and 450,000 yuan or more.
Of course, the above prices are all guesses, and the answer may be officially announced at 1 1. According to the official "Yellow Calendar" (yellow Supra's calendar is dubbed by netizens) and news, the new Supra will start the domestic pre-sale on June 5438+0 1, and the first batch of cars will arrive in Hong Kong in late spring and early summer of 20021,so as to deliver the cars to customers in the middle of next year. We will wait and see how the sales volume will be.
The reason why the introduction of the new Supra is a good start and signal is that there are rumors that Toyota plans to introduce GR brand (Toyota's high-performance brand) into China in the next step, that is to say, small steel guns with performance like GR yaris and GR Corolla may also enter China. The professor thinks this is a long-term plan worth looking forward to.
Toyota's performance in China in recent years is still bright, especially under the trend of electrification, brand mixing has attracted much attention, and advantages such as double-point policy have become necessary conditions for introducing sports cars. The professor hopes that Toyota can launch more performance cars as scheduled to add vitality to this increasingly boring market.
