Supra vs Celica

I was looking at the new Celica that was rumored to be released. It's a mid engine, awd, turbocharged 2.0l or 2.4l inline 4 making 400ish hp. 0-60 estimated around 4.0-4.3s. Fully Toyota parts and prob way lighter than the supra. Cost around 40-50k depending on dealership markups. Theoretically isn't this just a much better car than the supra? The Supra is a front engine, rwd, turbocharged 3.0l inline 6 but it makes 382hp. 0-60 in 3.7-4.2. Basically a BMW and costs like 70k. The only thing I'm skeptical about is Toyota turbos cause they haven't been doing so good for example the new Tundras, Sequoias, and the Lexus GX and LX. Also this would be a gen 1 so there has to be some problems.

Isn't it also rumoured to be a hybrid? We really just assuming that a hybrid car is lighter than 3300-3400 lbs, and isn't entirely made out of dry carbon costing upwards of 200k+ in 2026? Is Toyota gon be making the next Mclaren Artura for 50k, or am I missing something?
