Hold my beer....

...and he was never seen again.

This one.

That's a surprisingly very glowing review and a stark contrast to the lukewarm reviews from the euro-spec Supra test drive in Madrid. Hopefully we'll see more reviews of the prototype USDM Supra very soon.

Yup, that immediately caught my eye. I suspect it is a typo on the marketing side of the house.

If we're playing the game of theories, it's still possible that the top trim A90 Supra will closely match the performance specs envisioned with the Gran Turismo FT-1 concept as this was the version of the car that impressed Akio Toyoda enough to greenlight the Toyota FT-1 in the first place...

Yes, BMW has been utilizing direct injection on their 3.0L turbo engines since the N54 (back in 2006). The big question is if the Supra engine will be utilizing its D4S dual injection system (port and direction injection) as this fuel system has been key with preventing carbon build up on the...

It makes me wonder if A70TTR is hinting that the base six-cylinder Supra will be at 7 psi (approximately 380 HP) and a higher tuned version will be offered later down the road with around 14~psi (approx. 475-500 HP)....

If this is accurate, this is how the A90 Supra compares to its primary benchmark, the 718 Cayman: A90 Supra Length: 172.4 in Width: 73.0 in Height: 50.8 Wheelbase: 97.2 in Curb Weight: ------ 718 Cayman GTS Length: 172.9 in Width: 70.9 in Height: 50.6 Wheelbase: 97.4 in Curb Weight: 3,098 lbs

FYI, Motortrend clocked the 0-60 time of the 718 Cayman S at 3.6 seconds ( https://www.motortrend.com/news/porshce-718-cayman-s-2nd-place-2017-best-drivers-car/ ) Also, if you look at the specs of the Cayman GTS (which only has 15 more horsepower over the Cayman S [365 vice 350]), Porsche has...

He was trying to put your name on the list for the carbon fiber tub edition. ;)

My bench racing brain believes that the track-focused GT350R will have a larger Nurburgring lap time difference than 2-4 seconds when compared to the regular GT350. If we analyze the specs and lap times for the Camaro ZL1 (regular version) and the Camaro ZL1 1LE (track focused model) for...

I'm not sure if they specified the Z4's horsepower rating but if this is the euro-spec, it could be doing a 7:55 with the restricted 340 HP configuration (vice the 382 HP configuration). For added reference points on modern ring times, the 300+ HP Honda Civic Type R can lap the ring in 7:43.

I have no idea why the Porsche website posts the 718 GTS 0-60 as 4.4 secs as the default time but if you look at the technical specs that they provide for both the Manual and PDK, the Manual version has a 0-60 of 4.4 secs and the PDK version has a 0-60 time of 3.9 secs (which is the more fair...

The LC500 and Lotus Evora 400 will struggle to compete against a base C7 Corvette, let alone a GTR (unless you're inquiring about driver pleasure).

Attached is the D4S white paper that I've had filed away for years that is likely the same document that A70 is referring to. Toyota/Lexus credits both Yamaha and Denso with helping to develop this breakthrough technology. The D-4S dual injection system made its world debut on the 2GR-FSE Lexus...

It looks like the FT-1 was taken to a chop shop.:p

I wouldn't mind seeing the 300HP 2GR engine from the Camry shoved into the engine bay of the new-generation Corolla. ;)

The USDM Lexus ECUs had finally become tunable as of 2016. There are several ISF/RCF/GSF owners with tuned supercharger kits making over 550-600+ RWHP.

This part caught my eye. I wonder if Toyota will be utilizing a revised version of the Torque Vectoring Differential (TVD) found on the Lexus RC-F and GS-F. I will say from my experience with having an OS Giken clutch differential on my track-tuned IS350, this was the single greatest upgrade...
