I know I may be a little pedantic here but c'mon -- the rear tail lights don't have individual turn lights when on? I hate that. For those who don't understand what I'm talking about, if you take a look at the first video on Instagram posted on the top of this forum, you can see at the end of the video the guy turned on his right turn signal. The signal is also the brake lights. So when you're on the brakes, all three lights come on. But when you're on the brakes and one of the signals turn on, only 2 of the brake lights are on while one brake light is used as a turn signal. I don't know about you but this pisses me off when I'm driving and I get slightly confused when I see someone either attempting to brake, signal, or both. As much as I like the styling, why couldn't they put the damn signal light within the little outline of the brake lights?

I think that's enough ranting from me today. Haha.
Nah dude, the turn signal is a yellow light inside the triangle.

Lemme try to find you a pic. I have totally the same beef with turn signals, but I remember seeing the yellow turn signal and being relieved.

Oh.. okay! Now, that's what I"m talking about. I hope the Supra they "revealed" at Goodwood isn't some kind of American version where we didn't get the yellow lights versus the European market. I watched a video about this earlier about how European markets have have to have a yellow light for their turn signals.

Why North America gets those types of taillights? Is because an emphasis on style over safety? Or is it something else?

The car does flash the brake lights 4-5 times when you initially press the brakes hard, a way to further warm somebody behind you. Make that's what you saw?

I don't believe so. This is the video I'm referring to. If you look near the end of the video, you'll see the guy turn on the right turn signal (it flashes a couple times before the video ended). This doesn't show the yellow signal like the video with the car in white/black camo. Interesting....

Certainly does look like a turn signal... Yeah I have no clue.

That's an eLSD. So I guess that's confirmed. :eek:

Also, why does the exhaust have two 2.5-2.75" pipes? Seems like a lot of exhaust, but there must only be one pipe from the downpipe so that means it splits into 2. Maybe they're trying to emulate the MKIVs silly exhaust that split for no reason OR, maybe this exhaust is acoustically tuned.... :cool:
The exhaust has two pipes of 2.5-2.75. This looks like a lot 2 turbo :spaz::flame:

Well if its a much BMW as we suspect, then you should be able to recode the lights to do whatever you would like...
