Set in the 2020's where self-driving electric cars are ubiquitous and gasoline-powered cars are an endangered species limited only to motorsports, the story focuses on 19-year-old Kanata Livington—a genius driver who goes back to Japan after graduating at the top of the class at a racing school in England, and Aiba Jun—an MFG racer aiming to be the best

wow am stoaked!

If my eyes don't deceive me, those look like Michelin Pilot Super Sports. Which is odd considering they have been replaced by the PS4S. One of the German mules was also wearing Pilot Super Sports. Wonder what the OE tire will end up being. I believe the M2 come with Continentals?
and i *really* like the mildly stretched tires, this gives the maximum response!

Have a look at all the fine lines and creases (green)

I reckon the red japanese magazine render is going to me almost spot on.

Also, the yellow vents. we've seen them lots but what are they? brake ducts? active aero?

i reckon the yellow part is the only functional "vent", opens up to cool stuff (maybe oil coolers behind it) at a certain temp? vents look cool, but vents add drag thats way everybody is faking them :p

I think the design will look good, and even if it looks close to the red render- with some aftermarket bits it will be a very attractive car. The main issue will be the power, weight and availability of a manual. Mind you, even if it seems underpowered from factory, the B58 engine is quite tuneable- so that won’t be much of an issue. I think whether a manual transmission is offered is important- I think there will be a manual option personally.

So I guess it's save to assume the side vents on the fenders may make it to production? The BC article shows them on their rendering and they have been accurate so far on the design.

However on the new leaked picture the camo along with the photo angle makes it almost impossible to see anything there. Thoughts?

I would think the car will that way the air that goes in the intake under the headlight has a better path out

Yeah, I'm hoping it will be for side mounted intercoolers and oil coolers.

I guess I disagree, I know fake cheap Toyota vents when I see them, those appear to be real. However if they are fake at least they are an upgrade from what Toyota usually does, which is usually very lazy. IE the 86.

Apparently the guy from the Supra MK5 FB page has picture of the rear when it was caught on the trailer..seems to be sand bagging though. I bet Toyota has there hand in this some how.
He is probably just looking for the highest bidder to pay up. That is how the spy shots industry works. Release a shitty preview to built up the hype first. I know a few amateur spy shot photographers that doing this on side and they make a decent amount of money.

Came across this on the one mk5 Facebook groups. The one car could be testing a targa top.
