The FT1 looking so good didn't help things :) As soon as it came out everyone wanted it, which made the wait seem so much longer. 2-3 years from initial design concept to production car really isn't a crazy long time. The new NSX was announced in 2011, concept was shown in 2012, and is just...

Yea and the FT-1 has the Supra heritage and reputation to benefit from too, something the LC 500 didn't.

1400kg would mean about a 200 pound weight drop. Might be hard for Nissan to achieve that without making the car much smaller or going with some exotic material. Don't know if Nissan has the stomach to go with exotic materials but would be nice to see them downsize the car to classic Z car size.

What a shame it'd be if after killing off Scion, the company still can't get some good sports cars going under the Toyota badge. :bonk:

What's funny is all this talk about a possible exotic construction chassis but then there's rumors of a hybrid version. So you go to extremes to lose weight int he body, only to gain it back in the power plant. :banghead: It'll be the gasoline-only Supra version for me thank you very much.

Beautiful car and great value for its price, but I'm disappointed by its weight. This day in age no 'supercar' level car should be as heavy as the new NSX. But that's the downside to hybrid power plant. No way getting around the weight of batteries!

I don't think so. The two cars aren't meant to be in the same price segment or performance level and far enough apart that they can sell both under the same brand no problem. I doubt you'll find many cross shoppers between the two. If anything the moving of FR-S to under Toyota brand might make...

Post everything related to the BMW version here! Finally the Z4 prototype was spotted in testing http://f30.bimmerpost.com/forums/showthread.php?t=1216427

Agreed, if they're still showing the FT-1 Concept at this stage, it has to still be heading to production.

True. Hard to keep in mind that it's only been 2 years since the surprise debut of the FT-1 Concept. I guess when you want something so badly it makes the wait seem even longer than reality.

Thankfully 2016 just started so this may still come true. Fingers crossed!

Shoot me!

I been seeing rumors a while back about how the next Nissan Z car (Z35 platform) might be moving upmarket to complete with the higher priced sports coupes like the BMW M4. Seems this might be even more true now that the Infiniti Q60's V6 twin turbo engine has been revealed, with as much as...

I musta have missed that... what did Tada San say about the new Supra?

wtf is BMW thinking with all that tacked on looking stuff. I'm sure it's all functional, but please Toyota come out with a Supra based closely on the FT-1 and show the BMW designers how functional derived styling can still look nice and integrated.

GT-R sedan woo interesting. I can definitely see that stealing sales directly from Panamera, M5 and E63.

Cool video and construction. But yea I want this instead! Googled image of the BMW i3 carbon body.

Good to know. Come January we should get a better idea of how close Toyota might stick to the FT-1 design then.

Why only 3.9 seconds 0-60 if it has 510hp and is 3400 pounds? Would have expected it to be even faster. Besides the angry birds kind of front end, the rest of it I like a lot. Active aero and torque vectoring diff sound great.

Damn nice pics, and stilll stunning!
