I REALLY wish the styling of the Supra wasn't so over the top. It's dialed up to 11 whereas an 8 would do. Too many fake vents, fins, foils, and a wonky nose. Otherwise, the shape is nice and overall, it's pretty damn killer car. Perhaps I'll change my mind when I see one in person.
Same 30° angle as any relatively recent BMW straight six. Remember, this car is a BMW chassis with a BMW engine assembled at a BMW plant.
