You can bet if a company is going to use a carbon body they'll come up with a way to fix it. Here's a cnet article describing how BMW will repair the i3 carbon body. http://www.cnet.com/news/crash-your-carbon-fiber-i3-ev-heres-how-bmw-will-fix-it/

Hope it comes true!

Internet benchracers will troll hard if it doesn't match or beat x, y, or z (insert competitor) nurburgring times. I want to puke everytime I start reading ring time arguments online. But I like those words spoken by Toyoda and Tada about the Supra and what they're shooting for. How ultimately...

300 pound weight reduction over predecessor, impressive. That's what we need for the newest Supra. Not necessarily 300 pounds, but we need Toyota to reign in weight and bloat with this car.

If they do, the 4 cyl model better be priced less than $40-50,000. No American is gonna pay more than 50 grand for a 4 cylinder. At that price range people expect a premium product and a 4 cyl powered car isn't usually considered a premium product.

Surprisingly for a concept this car doesn't have any carbon fiber (just CF wrap I think?) from what I can see except for the interior. Hope that it'll all be under the skin where it matters. :yes:

I've been following the reviews out there and most are saying that it's still not quite as precise as the 911 and that its harsher around town but it's a pure animal and sounds like it. So AMG stuck to their DNA while closing the gap to the 911 it sounds like. As precise as the 911 is some...

Thats a pretty car. Never noticed how much the shape reminds me of the FT1 until now. What price point?

Was hoping it would be just under $50k so that would be a bummer. But you know what it's unfair to compare any car's value against the Corvette which gives you the best bang for your puck performance wise.

I've been waiting for these reviews for a while. AMG cars been on a roll lately so its good to see them come out and go right after the 911, which I find boring. This one's from Jalopnik. My favorite part: http://jalopnik.com/first-drive-mercedes-amg-gt-isnt-a-911-fighter-its-mo-1657733025 "I...

Just no.

Toyota will use BMW's chassis with their CF expertise and BMW will use one of toyota's superior engines. maybe something similar to the turbo V6 in the GT-R.

No secret that concept cars use electronic motors so no surprise here. Hopefully we will see a concept with a real petrol engine some time before production.

Agree. Lots of ppl want those bucket backseats even if they're only good for bags and children. Gotta make the car appeal to as many ppl as possible.

Can you add weight #s too? Maybe more competitors too like 911?

Awesome! I've been waiting fo this.. thanks for posting

The most interesting thing about this article has nothing to do with the convertible.... Tada san pretty much confirmed their future sports car line up!

Yea that's just a corporate guy being coy. The FT1 just happened to pop up soon after this whole joint project thing was announced. Coincidence I think not ;)

They could of course if they used more light weight materials thus pushing up the price and probably putting it out of the reach of most of us on the forum.
