"At launch, the Supra will most likely offer an evolution of the brand-new V6 engine that debuted earlier this year in the 2018 Lexus LS. It will use a pair of turbochargers to generate 400 horsepower and 300 pound-feet of torque in its most basic configuration."



That's pretty sad.

That doesn't seem weak to me? It's up 80hp on the 2JZ and that's the base version. It's competing against the 370Z, Camaro, and Mustang. Seems pretty reasonable to me.

Comparing it to the new NSX or a GTR, it's kind of weak. But 400 HP is better than 95% of the cars on the road today.

Weak or not will depend on the price. It has Mustang GT power. If it has a Mustang GT price, that's good. If it has a Corvette Z06 price, that's very, very bad.
