The GR Celica (EV) is supposedly being co-developed with Mazda so that they can have a rotary engine version as a series hybrid range extender which you can make rev out while electric motors are actually powering the rear wheels only. The Celica version is supposedly going to be BEV only with...

Nikola really doesn't have a good track record as a company so far but this does track with much of the rest of the trucking industry's plans for now. Trouble is that all the legacy rig manufacturers are already ahead of them on this.

I don't think an absence of future better sportscars would make those interested in them move to SUVs or trucks. It will just make those people have to work harder maintaining and retrofitting increasingly older model sportscars that fit their criteria.... which definitely isn't provided in an...

Maybe the next Camry will now get the AWD option paired with the more powerful engine this time. Toyota bungled that opportunity with the Avalon before it was killed off so maybe now that no-brainer type of configuration will now fall onto their sole midsize sedan for the U.S. market.

I'd rather GR build a mid size RWD performance sedan with a manual option that is the spiritual successor to the Chaser Tourer V. ....And a GR MR2, GR Celica, GR86 3rd gen, GR Supra 6th gen and whatever else Akio Toyoda wants to do with that lovely G16E-GTS engine. And as very unlikely as it...

The MKIV used the core chassis and especially the front and rear subframes from the Soarer Z30 as a starting point. Some other components from the MKIII were used in the early test mules but a lot of those things became bespoke MKIV parts by the production ready stage. The earliest MKIV test...

Interesting. Almost a month ago I post this video simply as something relevant to us all in regards to the car we want to see continue on into a new generation. And today nearly one month later only AFTER Kirk's video is posted is it funny. Rumors are what they are all around. Even in Kirk's...

Very interesting. Whatever the 6th gen Supra will be I highly doubt it will be TWO different cars. It will either be a gas-electric hybrid or a full EV. Since Kirk mentions the Celica again that lends some credence to the continued development of the Celica EV coupe under the GR brand that...

If they DO cancel Nitro Yellow it is a crime for such a special car. Bad form if so, Toyota.

This is good. But... since the PHYSICAL HARDWARE that you have bought is filly capable of whatever it is programmed to do, will BMW make this a standard part of the vehicle settings? Will they make it a subscription-only add-on feature that expires the moment you stop paying them the...

A 510hp BMW M3 Competition with a DCT transmission vs the Garage Whifbitz built A80 Supra with a 700hp single turbo bolted to a BMW 7-speed DCT transmission controlled by a Syvecs ECU with paddle shifters fitted to the steering wheel. Here the infamous top end of a tuned 2JZ shines as expected...

One thing to keep in mind is not to assume that the current cons of today's battery cell technology isn't going to be what is making its way into new cars by the end of this decade. EV batteries are NOT a static technology that will never evolve. In a few years they are going to be charging...

Nitro Yellow is discontinued...? That's the best color available! For a sportscar like this it should remain available. The MKV in yellow gives off very strong yellow RX-7 FD3S vibes. I hope this doesn't turn out to be true.

I think Kirk Kreifels was saying that the name "Lite Cruiser" might be used by Toyota for this model. Now it's surely not a true FJ70 replacement looking as it does but as a separate model in Toyota's lineup it would be cool if they designed it with front and rear motors hooked up to some...

Even just a bump to combined port and direct injection in the B58 would be nice.

^^ That's Maaya Orido, daughter of famous racing driver Max Orido. She's been getting into racing herself now. Very cool that she got to drive a manual Z4. Rumor is that since the Supra got its manual BMW will now offer their version of it in the Z4 3.0L models as long as it remains in production.

I posted this a couple of days ago on the ClubLexus forum and it seems relevant to share it here as well given this discussion about Toyota's standing on hydrogen fuel cell vehicles and hydrogen internal combustion. I'm not happy about this news and want to learn more as it is further...

I think Akio Toyoda certainly had some tough discussions with the top brass at Toyota that factored into this given his general opinions on 100% BEVs and where the largest market investment is going. I think it's also relevant that the guy is in his late 60's and has been at this steering his...
