Where about in SA are you from?
True re the GT86. I can't see how they can justify such a huge hike in the price.
The 1% increase in VAT just announced today is only going to make matters worse...
Well, here in South Africa, the M240i goes for approx ZAR 715 000 (USD 61 300) based on current exchange rate.
The RC 350 F Sport is ZAR 845 000. BMW M2 is just under ZAR 1 million...
I stand to be corrected - latest pricing is ZAR 802 700 (USD 69 000)...
Think it's time to revive this thread:
So... should we expect the pricing to be closer to the BMW M240i Coupe or the BMW M2?
Will it be more than the Lexus RCF, close to the RCF or closer to the RC 350 F Sport RWD?
If true, I wonder why they would choose a 5x112 pattern (VW/Audi/Merc) when BMW have 5x120 and Toyota have both 5x100 (GT86 bolt pattern - plenty options due to the popularity of the twins) and 5x114.3...?
I don't see why they would not include the active spoiler at least as an option. I mean, wasn't there an option for an active front spoiler in the JZA80? That too in the 90's.
The vent actually looks like it is on the rear quarter. They may have covered a portion of it but even at that shape it could very well be functional.
Does anyone else feel the hatch looks really flat from that angle?
Shout out to the Supra MK5 facebook page that posted the image earlier today.
Yeah, here in South Africa they are only offering the GT86 in one trim - the one with the 4 pot Brembo brakes and sport suspension and at the current exchange rate, it equates to USD 48 500... (ZAR 563 000)
