So it`s not BMW`s off the shelf "adaptive suspension", since that has no height adjustment that I know of? Also that could help explain the low CoG.

I was assuming they were using this car as a test bed for the GTE car. Track spec prototype? interesting. That would be a step above GRMN?

I`m referring to this car: Pirelli slicks, Lexan lateral window, aerocatch on the hood, seems to have a rollcage too.

Don`t get your hopes up. That datalog/telemetry data is probably for the GT-series racecar that they also brought to Jarama. - We know the stock engine is not revving past 6700rpms, let alone 7756 - Cars we saw were not equipped (at least not visibly) with telemetry systems and sensors. We...

1610kg is measured according to EU standard ("Leergewicht EG") and is defined as: the mass of the vehicle with bodywork in running order or mass of the chassis, including fluids, tools, spare wheel (if fitted) and driver. The mass of the driver is estimated at 75 kg; the fuel tank is 90% full...

Makes sense, as "drift mode" should be simple enough to implement: Traction control/ESC off, electronic differential locked 100%.

Confirmed colors for now: Black, White, Atacama Yellow, and these 2?

In 15+ years as an active member in several car forums I never once had to use the “ignore” feature. Now I find it very useful. Click on the member name, then in the next menu click ignore. Much better.

11:34 downshifts are stupid fast 20:31 launched from zero, I timed it 3,9 seconds to do the full 1st and 2nd gear, that should be close to its 0-60 time He goes on praising the car "one of the best car that i`ve driven, only bested by the Giulia Quadrifoglio" (hey, he`s italian after all)...

"We, of course, don’t know how much it will cost but the likelihood is that if you look at the Porsche Cayman GTS’ circa €95,000 figure then you’ll probably not be too far out." Cliff notes: It`s fast, drives great, we don`t have any numbers yet.

There`s even a Toyota Century GRMN in the works! Supra GRMN is a given then :D

And it`s wearing Pirelli racing slicks. GT-series race car?

That totally depends on how far into development the car is. For the Supra I would not expect major changes from current spec to final production. I understand the C8 is on an earlier phase so we could see significant improvements; also we do not know which version they were testing, if the base...

A friend from germany has timed the new mid-engine Corvette C8 test mule: 7.44

As already mentioned, manufacturer laptimes are not comparable to Sport Auto laptimes. A few other SportAuto tests for reference: BMW M2 Coupe (2016) 8:01 - Yes, the non-M Z4 is beating the M2 by a fair margin. This speaks volumes. Ferrari F430 (2006) 7:55 - Same time as...

As an avid `ring fan and benchracer, my comments: Don`t compare Sport Auto Nurburgring laptimes to "manufacturer" laptimes, owners laptimes, Wikipedia laptimes and even other mags laptimes. Sport Auto is considered the standard because: They run the full course Nordschleife (not just a segment...

Is this "NEW" BMW straight six engine the Supra engine? Quoted from the just-launched X3M/X4M BMW website "The newly-developed straight six-cylinder engine with M TwinPower Turbo technology and high speed characteristics is also one of the technological highlights of the two high-performance...

86rebel any chance you could meassure Jarama lap times for the top spec model? PLEASE!!

3SGTE was chosen over 2JZ for road racing in the A80 Supra. Not sure of the reasons, probably technically superior? (weight, mass centralization, lubrication, fuel consumption/efficiency) since Skylines were using 6cyl doesn’t seem like it was a rulebook problem.
