As you say, "current", but 'previous' was good, so maybe that will change and 'up-coming' will also be good.

This Toyota-BMW sports car reminds me that Chrysler-Daimler sports car (Chrysler Crossfire and Mercedes-Benz SLK (R170) ). But could turn out to be a Mazda-FCA roadster (Mazda MX-5 and Fiat 124).

The Honda Sports EV Concept teaser: An electric "Honda S600 Coupe" successor as Toyota S-FR rival?

I think the new NSX is the best looking mid-rear engine sports car for sale right now, with another pro, being the Honda badge.

Posted just to show the transaxle of the LFA.

Hope that is legit and will turn out that way.

I think the key here is gearbox and engine. BMW S55 engine is 'old' and based on N55. It is used in in M3/M4 and will be used in M2. The reason is because N54/N55 stop production and are replaced by B58. Next generation M3/M4 gets the new S58 that is based on the B58 and debuts with the new...

All things being equal, it improves handling.

2 seats, 2+ or 2+2, trunk or liftback, manual or automatic, I6 or V6, the most important thing is for it to have a transaxle gearbox (like LFA, GT-R, Corvette, SLS AMG/AMG GT, Aston Martin, Maserati/Ferrari). If not it is no better than a GT86.

I am really not hyped by this car, as transaxle seems to no be available. A (mid-)front engine RWD sports car without transaxle is half a sports car.

Honestly, I am more interested in S-FR if 15K. GT86 is too expensive for me as a build project. I could not pull the trigger on making a GT86 build, and Miata is not a Coupe.

The thing is, for aero reasons, Toyota now mostly uses door mounted mirrors. Even the the mirrors on the LFA and LC prototypes were not final design, they were still door mounted. BMW on the other hand, uses window mounted mirrors (except on i8 for obvious reasons), and this is what the...

Looks BMW ugly: huge wheel archs with tucked-in small wheels, long front overhang, long rear overhang, high hood line with dropping nose, cheap BMW side view mirrors,...

In fact, there is no perfect internal combustion engines, there is only a better or worse one depending on the needs. The perfect engine is not internal combustion, but brushless electric motor. This one however comes with disadvantages at the energy side (battery).

That is what the Germans especially BMW have been doing: slap turbos and call it a new engine. Without marketing deceit, nothing wrong with that. The GR engine will be modified enough to be a true turbo engine.

"Early signs suggested the Supra would employ ... a 1.6-litre four-cylinder petrol engine and three electric motors — two operating on the front axle and a third integrated into the gearbox housing providing drive to the rear wheels." Sounds like transaxle too me, but it could be the gearbox of...

Come on, this car is a 2 seater. If 2+2, it is just an insurance thing.

For me the GT86 is a Toyota design using Subaru parts.

So no transaxle. Cheaped-out sports car. :(

There are enough 2+2 coupes, almost all, but there are very few dedicated worthy 2 seat coupes. Porsche Cayman is the one.
