That engine was developed for both the Subaru and the Toyota. We already know which engines are going to be used in the Z4 - the B48 and B58. So, if we use the 86 as an example, then the obvious conclusion is that the Z4 and Supra will both use the B48 and B58.
The people from Calty Design Research did also say to expect a price range of $50k-$60k when the FT-1 was first unveiled. For that price range and a Toyota badge; my bet would be the B58 for a base model.

Right, but does that not mean Toyota might not play around with it? Either way I am also skeptical of this whole NA I6. I just thought it might be interesting to hear other people's input.
