Power is sent to the rear wheels via an eight-speed ZF automatic transmission.Previous leaks have revealed that the Supra will come with a choice of turbocharged four-cylinder and six-cylinder engines, as well as three different wheel sizes and three different specs.It will also make use of BMW\u2019s M Active limited-slip differential and feature 50:50 weight distribution with a body comprising steel and aluminium. It is expected to weigh around 1,500kg, which would make it 250kg heavier than the GT86 yet 14kg lighter than the fourth-generation Supra.Despite being developed alongside the Z4, chief engineer for the project Tetsuya Tada told Autocar that the two cars will significantly differ from one another, especially in terms of handling.He told the car mag: “They are two different cars. We didn’t start by finding common parts. We worked on our own ideas to see what cars we wanted to create, then we shared ideas to identify where we can share common parts.\u201dAre you hyped about the new Supra? Can it make up for the relative disappointment of the GT86? Let us know down in the comments…"},{"@context":"https:\/\/schema.org\/","@type":"BreadcrumbList","itemListElement":[{"@type":"ListItem","position":1,"name":"By Manufacturer","item":"https:\/\/smart-motoring.com\/by-manufacturer\/#breadcrumbitem"},{"@type":"ListItem","position":2,"name":"Toyota","item":"https:\/\/smart-motoring.com\/by-manufacturer\/\/toyota\/#breadcrumbitem"},{"@type":"ListItem","position":3,"name":"Leaked image of the new 2019 Toyota Supra","item":"https:\/\/smart-motoring.com\/by-manufacturer\/toyota\/new-2019-toyota-supra-leaked\/#breadcrumbitem"}]}]
