I think its still going to be called Z4.

That is an awful Photoshop.

No BMW concept at Geneva. Just some boring hatchbacks and minivans from BMW. Next European show is not until the Fall so another 6 months until they possibly reveal their concept?

^^^Kill it with fire :flame:

It was reported that BMW had just moved onto the concept stage on 11/14. It took Toyota about 6 months to build their concept car. So maybe Geneva is a little to early. I think Frankfurt or Detroit seems more likely...

That was a good but sobering read. Especially this: "Tacoma is our sports car." Don't know why they say that sports cars are not a part of Toyota's DNA though. It's had the 2000GT, Supra, Celica, MR2. That's more pure sports cars (not just sporty cars) history than companies who have a...

In this video with Calty designers, they say that they designed every single line, fold, crevice etc with aerodynamics in mind and for maximum downforce. Even though they're designers and not engineers, I'm sure they have some kind of aerodynamics modeling ability on their computers to say that...

And FT-1 hasn't just showed up at the major auto shows, but also the smaller ones too. I wonder if Toyota is still gather feedback on the design or if they're just trying to keep it in people's thoughts so they can keep building up even more anticipation?

Really hope that active wing spoiler stays for production. Usually only seen on exotic level sports cars.

Wouldn't mind the Supra sharing this water injection system that BMW just previewed http://f80.bimmerpost.com/forums/showthread.php?t=1090892 Sounds great especially if you'll be tuning the car for some extra HP.

That is an awful rendering. Also, I'm pretty sure its base on the LFA.

I think it'll go up in price personally, but wow would this would be the wildest looking $150k car ever.

So hot in Silver! From the Chicago auto show

Not to mention a longer wheelbase car is usually more comfortable in terms of ride quality. Not as jumpy. Must be a tough task for engineers to design a sports car that's everything -- stable, nimble, good ride quality. It's too bad something like the active rear wheel steering system from...

I saw a gray i8 today, sadly I wasn't too impress :/

I would rather have RWD.

Million dollar question. But since the concept was designed a couple of years ago now, even if they were given rough technical guidelines to design around, things could have changed substantially since then.

Great to hear. The more a company is involved in motorsports the more it shows they care about its enthusiasts and a sportier brand image. :headbang:

Nissan broke their own record for US sales last year so they're not exactly doing poorly. I think a lot of the decision behind making enthusiast type cars or not is the personnel that is at the company. Nissan recently lost Andy Palmer, their Chief Product Planner and a huge proponent of the...

2JZ didn't need to be revved up higher than that since its peak was at 6000 RPM. Upgraded springs and retainers could take it up to 8500 RPM though. But I agree, if the MKV Supra engine is turbo'd, anything 7500 or higher would be great.
