It was discussed before the F Sport came out originally, but the discussions didn't go anywhere afaik

^ sure did and more than one, but the main one I remember is the Celica.

yep ^ also, mass produced isn't exactly a phrase I'd use to describe this lol

The targa thing has been brought up a few times internally, and Tada stated it wasn't even a consideration. I'm not knocking the wishlisting, but that's the reality of it or at least it has been aside from the typical 'never say no' answers in interviews.

As long as you can afford 3 base A90s, you should be good to go lol.

Well, they're bringing the convertible to Goodwood lol Who knows what else may be planned for end of year :D

Actually, it was never specified if that engine was the integrated or non integrated engine. They just said, "the current engine has been tested to 700hp without issue." I do however think we all assumed, myself included, that this was the integrated manifold version due to being released...

I'll ask if I get the chance, but I'd be surprised if either were the case; maybe front vents open for brakes as we saw on some of the race cars if anything.

It appears to be unrelated from my understanding.

I wish 1/1000th of that was true for anything in my life haha (the savior part at least) IIRC, it has to be in Sport mode and then activates over a certain speed, but my recollection could be off

Lol

Remember that the car lowers itself 7-10mm during higher speeds and everything above the belt line is extremely lightweight.

This was still a firm no as of the last time I asked around April/May.

the higher power model is apparently coming sooner vs later as the bmw insider noted, at least according to some of the people I asked (these were US connections though so I do trust it less than my usual). that said, credit where credit is due if true as I thought it would be later on (say two...

not just tires; think about what supports them :)

lol CG aside, should be interesting to see the response to actual weight distribution. "50:50" was the quote, but once you consider there are both 4cyl and 6cyl platforms it makes one wonder :D

The GRMN will be more powerful but is unlikely to be available in manual from what has been communicated. If a manual is available, it will be in the standard car most likely.

I do not unfortunately. I had the info for US iirc, but I don't even remember what the figure was.

That was a rumor even within the company and Tada did consider different names for both the 4 and 6 cylinder versions. As to why they didn't do it, I think there likely wasn't enough differentiation between them aside from engine (would sort of be odd these days) and also the fact that Celica...

A misunderstanding between me and one of the engineers. Disregard.
