SUPRA TEASED AND OTHER NEWS! WEEKLY UPDATE

EV Channels Review

This weekly update covers a range of automotive news, with a significant focus on the upcoming Toyota Supra. The reviewer expresses excitement about the Supra's return but notes disappointment that the initial reveal is a "modern racing concept" rather than the production street car, which is now expected in 2019. Details suggest the Supra will share many components with the BMW Z4, including interior materials and potentially engines (two turbocharged four-cylinders and a six-cylinder with 335 horsepower). However, it's noted that the Supra will reportedly be automatic-only, lacking the manual option and a higher-horsepower variant available in the Z4. The reviewer suggests viewing the new Supra less as a successor to previous generations and more as a "faster 86" or a heavier, more powerful BRZ. Other news includes teasers for the Ferrari 488 Special Series, Rolls-Royce Cullinan, and Subaru Viziv Tourer Concept, alongside reveals and pricing for the 2019 Mercedes-AMG G63, Maybach S-Class, and C-Class refresh. Pricing for the Alfa Romeo Stelvio Quadrifoglio and Subaru Ascent is also discussed, along with updates on the 2019 BMW i8 Roadster, 2019 BMW X4, and rumors about the BMW M2 Competition. The segment concludes with news on the 2019 Porsche Cayman GT4, 2019 Nissan Altima, Volkswagen's future plans, Maserati Levante GTS, Bentley Flying Spur, the end of Ford Focus RS production with a Heritage Edition, the next-gen Ford Focus, a potential Subaru PHEV, and updates on Dyson's electric car project.
