Toyota was making and improving the celica and the supra for many years , so we had the mk4 supra that was truly amazing , a pure GT car that was better than its class and competed with cars of higher classes (like GTRs and porsches ) and even beat them sometimes. Also the celica GT4 is one...
I present you the CLA 45 AMG
It has a 4 cylinder engine that made 360 hp in 2014 , now it makes 380 hp . Anyway though 4 or 6 cylinders , this z4 coup project is one of many compromises .
So basically this has a shorter wheelbase than the previous z4 roadster , underwhelming . I will be very dissapointed if these are true because they tried to make the car smaller than the competition to save weight but let's compare it to the corvette .
Base spec Corvette :
wheelbase 2710mm...
Well i actually want toyota to make a sports car in house .I like mazda , i believe they know a thing or two about good driving experience , but i want toyota to have a more active role this time. I mean why not a toyota turbo/supercharged engine with this gen chassis. I believe the car has a...
It is supposed to be the next 86 . But i don't think they would put a 2.4 l boxer to the next gen (if it happens ofc) , because they wanted to reduce the emmisions and the weight. Bigger engine might come with a little more power but it has many downsides. The only routes the car can take is...
Meanwhile a lexus z4 sibling car would make more sense to me , i don't think anyone would be complaining if a lexus z4 coupe was developed with bmw because a 2 seater luxury sports car is what the z4 is and also bmw's segment is closer to lexus than toyota.
Quite correct , but for america . In all other markets it is the complete opposite and lexus barely sells anything. This year all financial data point towards nissan-renault alliance to be top dogs , and if a 100k nissan can sell and promote the brand like crazy , i don't understand how a 50-60k...
The BMW B58 and 48 engines are good actually and their power levels are understated , but for me it is not only about the HP or the lightness of the car . The thing that dissapointed me the most is how cheap this all feels , it is ok to share some things and to make joint research on things to...
If all these are true i feel the head engineer should be just moved to engineer things that are less emotionally engaging cars . The subaru -toyota collab was one of many compromises , one of them being that the car feels gutless and also it rides on subaru platform , it has a subaru engine ...
I am in my late 20s and i want a sports car that has at least some practicality . I believe it is pretty obvious that with 2+2 they would please more people , i dont't know why 2 seats for a supra is considered .
dude AMEN to all that.
The silvia should be the benchmark for affordable sports cars.I love all the latest silvias s13 to s15 , they are truly amazing.
Ye the new infiniti engines are sick , if they decided to put those engines to a lighter nissan chassis it would make the car an instant win . Btw check the VC-T engine that is coming in 2018 to some infinitis , it is an engine with sweet tech on it .
I am glad it works for you dude! I like Inifiniti's latest cars specially the q60 very much!
For the topic , i think in about 3-4 years we will see big changes , like the audi sq7 tech becoming more and more accessible and even done on petrol engines and more affordable models , also in 2020...
Scott is playing the marketing game , he knows much stuff but he lets specific things to gather opinions , it is something i actually like , it is a clever tactic of bmw to see what the people that are into bmws think and want .
Ye it is true that many people in europe got the z4 ( at least i see them very often ) , but times have changed . At the moment seat leon cupras , vw golf ,ford focus,renault megane rs and other smaller hatches are running with 280 and 300+ hp with like 27k to 35k euros so it would not be very...
86 and z4 share the exact same length of the car's body , but z4 has a shorter wheelbase and is half an inch wider , so yeah the new car can be shorter than an 86 because the length is depended on the wheelbase and not the other way around. The z4 was a good sign though that it won't be tiny ...
SCOTT26 one of the bmw insiders said that the car is much smaller than previous supras , also we have seen the car and it is about the size of a z4 , maybe a hair longer. With that said i still have hopes that it will turn into a toyota mid size car and not just a z4 coup.
I hope it is a mid sized 2+2 GT sportscar. The reality though is that the car probably will be smaller than the 86 so it will be compact and also a 2 seater .
