Correct, it actually has built in provisions for various racing modifications too.Chassis is definitely designed to be able to hold up to significantly more power.
You guys wondered why they're developing racing versions of the car before even releasing the street car, well this is part of that. It's top-down engineering vs bottom-up. The chassis is designed to be ready for the demands of competition first and foremost, then it's given it's street guise. This includes power .
People are complaining about everything lol. In my eyes it's still too early to have that "I'm sooo disappointed in Toyota, blah blah blah" mentality.So some of these people are complaining about buttons?
The Goodwood car is a production prototype, meaning it's more or less done. It's all suspension, brakes, tires, and ECU tuning now.I feel like Toyota will do the best they can with the parts given. I still believe they have a final version practicing at HQ, with interior and exterior finalized or very near production and making sure it is working fine with all the inner workings of the electronics.
There are still plenty of details that are being kept under wraps and its more or less all drivetrain related to that new motor.excellent, any hints ?
i'm hoping it's one of those engines that a simple ECU tune will send the power levels through the roof...
Damn, oh well. I was never a huge fan of interior since my mind would be focused on the road and experiencing the drive.The Goodwood car is a production prototype, meaning it's more or less done. It's all suspension, brakes, tires, and ECU tuning now.
if the design of the outside of a car is supposed evoke emotion why cant the inside where you'll be spending most of the time in be alsoSo some of these people are complaining about buttons?
when you see a Toyota symbol on the airbag cover but see a BMW shifter, BMW I-drive controller and switch gear makes for one confusing car.So some of these people are complaining about buttons?

I'd have to agree with what a lot of people are saying about how they wish the interior was less BMW, more Toyota but I'm going to reserve final judgment until I'm sitting in the car.
part of the reason why my S2000 and Cayman R is an enjoyable as it is to drive is the interior.if the design of the outside of a car is supposed evoke emotion why cant the inside where you'll be spending most of the time in be also
..is all im saying
never said the S2000 interior was the best looking, but from a driving position, location of the shifter, the door panels and transmission tunnel that acts as bolsters for you legs (you cant sit indian style in the driver seat of the S), the S2000 is better for the driver than the cayman.I actually find the S2K interior to be super boring and as such was never impressed at all.
Usually it is the BMW guys complaining about Toyota's "cheap" buttons, yet as we see the Toyota guys are not convinced by BMW's "premium" buttons. So much for "perceived" quality, it is all a question of perception.So some of these people are complaining about buttons?
