If a production version ends up looking chunky, aggressive and low to the ground like that... and has at least 300hp+ to the wheels including the rear with *at least* 5 seconds of 0-60 then it has my attention. A convertible isn't for me personally but it looks very good and many people will be...

Yesterday I popped into a local Nissan showroom and saw a Proto model Z. It's a really beautiful car in person! 2D pictures really don't do it justice (same with the Supra MKV). I still prefer the Supra but hats off to Nissan for perfecting the 370Z chassis into this new iteration. NOW it...

I just hope that the GR division remains as emphasized as it has been under Akio Toyoda with their attention to designing killer sports cars. Fully electric will be an inevitability sooner or later but regardless of what powertrain their GR's have I REALLY hope they keep designing them as...

I was not aware that Alpine was selling these in the U.S. Europe, Japan, Australia and other markets only I thought?

Not Nissan specific but a case in point for getting any of these enthusiast cars in the U.S. : Right now in Japan Honda Motor Co has suspended further ordering for the JDM Civic Type R due to spotty availability of some parts in order to build the cars already ordered. That sucks for anyone...

Same thing that's been happening so far with (most) GR Corolla sales. Dealers like this one have obviously been doing SO poorly over the last couple of years selling bread and butter Versas and Altimas at barely MSRP that they just have to make up the lost price gouging opportunities on a...

I haven't checked up on that thread in the last couple of days. I will look.

I should have tried to make my post a little more concise I admit ? But... I do suspect that what we saw at play here was a combination of old Torsen T-1 LSD quirks + high power beyond what that LSD was capable of predictably handling + cold weather conditions + cold and or slightly lower...

It's definitely a looker as hardcore hot hatchbacks go. The Supra MKV still wins for me in the ultimate looks department. Following that the GR86 and then the GR Corolla. But all three excel at different things very well and look exceptional. The only perfect solution is to own one of each! : )

I'm not going to defend the mechanic who did the work and who drove the car. I don't know anything about him or his shop. The Supra was in his care while he was servicing and tuning it. But that SupraForums member Wreckless is a well known senior member there and is a No-BS fellow. He knows...

If Toyota were going to sell ANY hypercar on the same level as the AMG ONE it would have certainly been the road-legal version of the GR Super Sport that they cancelled. No idea if the idle for the GR SS or any other of those Toyota race engines is as high as it is for the AMG ONE.

Both those engines might pose street car re-engineering challenges similar to those which Mercedes had when they worked to homologate an F1 style engine for street duty in their AMG ONE hybrid hypercar. Impressive car in person but even though it is "street legal" it's nowhere near as easy to...

^^ I 100% agree with this too.

The only trouble with hydrogen ICE at the moment (and I am watching that approach just as much as other powertrain approaches) is the fuel economy that will be limited in a small sportscar chassis like this based on the current hydrogen fuel tank capacities that are currently possible. They...

^^ I agree with this as it has also been similar to my own personal experiences with the Supra MKIV community for the last 20 years. I think in general the folks who are "OG's" now and who once were the first and second owner crowd as younger people going back that far are a little different...

In this case I think we'll only know when we know... but I suspect that since it's a car intended for owners to track or even modify to race if they want to it will have ample power on track in the gas-only operation with a depleted battery... which will get recharged for full power boosting...

It would make the most sense to me given how they seem to have chosen to develop the platform that the A100 will share. As for a displacement reduction to 3.0L, this would probably have everything to do with engine size tax brackets to the 3.0L size being traditional for Supras to being able to...

Interesting. I hadn't thought of there being such very low hood clearance in relation to the assumed lower crossmember height. I assumed the new Mazda I-6 family of engines were also perfectly straight upright designs much like the old Toyota JZ inline six engines so that would make it...

Initially I did as well.
