The review for the z4 sounds like they used the euro spec, and the supra was euro spec. But if Chris Walton drove a us spec z4, then it's obvious there is a huge difference in power and feel to the car. It's adding ambiguity to a project shrouded in mystery. Back to the drawing boards.
I wasn’t aware of BMW letting anyone drive the Z4 in the US. I could’ve wrong but as a magazine editor that’s providing feedback.. I’d think he’d be clear about the comparison he was making. If the euro spec Supra is lower in power compared to the euro spec Z4 then this car being a success is thing of hitting lottery in the looks department.
Left overs.. this Zupra is a left over car made with old BMW parts.
I read the review and he test drove over in France so I'm assuming it's Euro-spec. I doubt it would be a 4 cylinder they are driving as that would be unusual for a first impression no matter the chassis and weight,
I picked that up too. I wonder what he’s referring to. Is there any validity to what he’s saying?
Theres a lot of that article that could be dismissed. The fact that he reviewed the Z4 3.5 months ago is too long for a performance comparison if you ask me
That’s the only way you can have a lot of people put a deposit down. If they know the specs they’d run away. Lol
Likely another press brief/drive before it's official 2019 public unveiling im guessing. Not all that surprising, but given some one of odd things these guys say that completely contradict each other and Toyota, who knows lol.
If a driving impression is strong, it's going to be memorable. Still, BMW gave MT the US-spec and I'm sure Toyota is aware. For Toyota to not give a US-spec is unusual unless a US version was not available there.
