Agree that NASCAR body style looks severely outdated and the selected livery color scheme didnāt do it any favors drawing your eye to the awful looking blended roofline.
However, strictly from a marketing standpoint they want the Supra to have as much exposure and compete in as many forms of...

I agree with what you are saying, my point is the area seen directly below the side mirror will slope down and away from the hood to the top of the wheel well giving the car a much sleeker appearance from all angles.
That fender area appears to be padded and would likely be slimmer and then rise up toward the hood of the car (like most modern designs do). I was hoping this car would use something similar to the pop up hood on the LC. I would love to know how much weight that system adds. Even with a thicker...
Quick video showing each successive generation of the Supra.
I will update with some older ads and other relevant info through the years.
While there are so many threads discussing all of the aspects of the development of the MKV I wanted to specifically put together one inclusive of the...
Looks ok but Itās a class of car Iām not that interested in. Full size FWD.
I have owned Camrys in the past then moved on to Lexus sedans (IS, GS) for the same reliability and better driving dynamics. Tell them they need to make another ISF with a 6-speed manual :)
6th Gen Camaro (poster child for bad visibility)
New NSX
NA 1 NSX (extremely low cowl height MR design and without all of safety regulations.
GT86
Traditionally sport cars being lower and having lower rooflines meant side and rear visibility was compromised. For forward vision now...
*allow the buyer to spec out individual car to their liking vs. the dealer just checking off every box to max out price
*Mechanical LSD
*Allow all of the driver aiding, fun robbing tech to be easily disabled. (One button)
*Do not artificially weight steering
*If there are different driving...
Regarding the double bubble roof, while I think the renders from Mike and Supra93 look awesome Iām not sure the roof will be that exaggerated and will likely be more subtle in actual form. Sure not trying to criticize because I think their work has been excellent and far better than what the...
I donāt see it because itās too upright like an RC, in fact the Q60 and RC are within an inch of each other in every dimension. For this car the roof height and hood being 3āā lower will make all the difference.
The FT-1 was a design study not a working prototype:
Toyota FT-1 Concept
Length- 4,675 mm (184.05 in)
Width- 1,970 mm (77.55 in)
Height: 1,225 mm 48.22 in)
Wheelbase: 2,740 mm (107.87 in)
Based on GT6 it had 485-521hp and weighed 2910 lbs
It had been said that the FT-1 had exaggerated...
While the base Corvette will always offer a great value for horsepower a new ZR1 will likely be a 135-150k car. I think the competition in terms of price range 60-100k will be from the higher end Camaros/Mustangs to the near 100k sports cars (base Carrera, Evora 400, F Type , Cayman etc.) with...
...lucky enough to be getting the 6speed.
If thatās true thatās all that remains for me in terms of a deal breaker. All of the other hurdles for what I want from this car, the looks, the low weight, power to weight ratio etc. appear to be on par for what I wanted. The actual release date...
