Better camber curve. That means you can usually run less static camber than a mcpherson to achieve the same dynamic camber.
As with most things automotive, implementation is even more important than general design. You can have a double wishbone suspension that sucks, and you can get a...
Yes, they´re planning on this new supercar, which would also be the base of the new LeMans 24h racer, as proposed on the new ACO rules for 2020 which replaces current "prototypes" for "supercars". Imagine AMG One, McLaren P1, Toyota SuperSport, Aston Martin Valkyrie, plus the VAG boys, all...
That is 100% vaporware, "a dealer told me", "insiders say" clickbait.
This post in the370forums on the other hand, is 100% confirmed:
"I spoke to a dealer and they told me if I was willing to give them money to pre-order the next gen Z, they would take my money. Only specs they told me were the...
Absolutely thrilled for the Toyota team! This win "looked" easy but it costed them blood, sweat and tears.
They will certainly run a GTE program with the Supra, which I can`t wait for.
Definitely didn`t expect this.
So, we have the (unofficial) engine block donor for the new Supra: BMW M57 diesel engine.
Makes a lot of sense, specially since it was produced at Magna Steyr in Austria, same plant that is going to build the Z4 and Supra.
It was produced both in iron and...
Everyone surprised about this? Specs are pretty much in line with previous info. A70 already denied sub-3000lbs, so weight should be close, and 335-360hp was the expected output. I’m guessing most were suprised by the 62k price for a fully loaded model, which does not sound completely insane.
I...

Really great to read from every single reviewer that handling is top notch and blows the previous version out of the water.
Since the Supra will be even more performance-oriented than the Z4, it will be a true Porsche contender, even if Toyota handicaps the non-GRMN version to Cayman S levels...
Add me to the list of people that are ok with a BMW sourced I6 turbo.
The only element I hope they remove is the Valvetronic system. That would probably mean a completely different cylinder head, so not likely, but I can still dream of a nice, Yamaha-developed head.
Very interesting interview! Thanks for sharing.
- They said, "If you like Porsche so much, why don't you just buy one?" I LOL´d at this one.
- AT? DCT? MT? "Lifecycle impulse changes being considered". Sounds like a manual down the line is definitely possible
- Compared to the 86, we’ve...
Thanks for the info A70TTR. This is very interesting.
I wasn’t optimistic about weight, being a BMW platform, I figured around 3300pounds. Sub-3000 is just phenomenal for this day and age! Not far from the S2000, wow. Sounds almost too good to be true.
Regarding the engine, even a stock...
