I know, I am apparently among the few that is disappointed in this aspect..the FT1 had backseats and all gens of the Supra (and nearly all of Toyota's other FRs except for the 2000GT/LFA) had +2..the other thread dedicated to discussing the number of seats illustrated the issue right away, the...
they couldn't even be bothered to spell Tetsuya's name correctly...legit. Still not sure how tada-san would know such info when no one from toyota has bothered to go out for a test drive in any of the mules :popcorn:
who knows, they might be in the dark as much as we are. we have never seen tada-san even touch one of these mules, let alone see a single asian sit in any of them. What is tada-san's job for this project exactly?
..while it seems like things are heading in the right direction for Toyota, I can't help but feel some doubt..what happened to the supposed performance models of the Corolla and Yaris? The Yaris was shown in Geneva but there seemed to be very little hope about whether it would see production...
not at all...neither of those renders share any body lines, design cues or profile with a GT86..heck the 86 looks lower everywhere if you compare their profiles..I agree if the first render in your post had the nose + bumper of the FT1, somewhat like what the more accepted render (the 2nd one in...
lol ouch if that's true. so much for saving costs :popcorn: if it does end up being that expensive then performance will be the only redeemer here and that ain't looking good either
even though I was wrong about the LC being the platform of the "Supra", I still thought 2018 would be the launch year as it will be officially 40 years of the Supra
it is hard to say whether the taillights will employ the altezza look or go with the FT1's light design...thus far though it appears these circular lights are merely there for legal purposes so they can bring these cars on public streets for testing.
lol still avoiding the question r8 man and nice to see you grab some low hanging fruit too. rocket bunny kits can be done in various ways, so if your only idea is misaligned kits with their rivets showing then cool story bro..you already lost my respect with your car journey :s if I could truly...
...but the 86 twins are different from this relationship. Toyota and Subie came together to come out with one end result. The boxer was important there, the CoG stats don't lie and both Toyota and Subie are both happy with the drivetrain. With this Supra project, however, Toyota is analogous...
again....is a 86 with rocket bunny and 600 HP 2JZ not what you're looking for.....? It is cheaper to build that setup than buying your R8 and there are several examples here in AZ and Cali.
..out handle the LC 500 yes, out power no...Toyota/Lexus already get the flack about being "slow" for their respective classes..
..and Toyota won't make a Exige or 4C which is what you're asking for, such a car would be too left field for their brand. Very few enthusiasts would purchase such a...
The LC F should be clearly ahead in performance for how much it will most likely cost.. But I could see the new "Supra" being a bargain compared to the LC 500 which does 0-60 in 4 seconds flat. That kind of speed for a $50-70 K coupe is quite acceptable. Handling is really the only area where...
lol this new "Supra" isn't going to beat the LC F and it would surprise me if it ends up being faster than than the LC 500...unless Toyota scraps the project and decides to join Nissan and Honda in the 6 figure game.
Lexus are worthy vehicles, I do wish I had the moolah for the LC
why that expensive? the lotus evora and alfa 4c are both stylized quite dramatically and don't cost that much. but even if the supra was priced like that i wouldn't blame them or be upset, nissan and honda went that route..plus if they went that route at least no one would probably complain...
yes there were some changes but the overall design has stayed true to the concept...door mounted mirrors (though it is interesting the scion concept had it mounted to the windows), 2+2, 2000GT window kink, main grill shape, angular headlights, and most of the body lines were retained on the...
don't think a luxury brand is good to compare with as most of their customers don't look under the hood. BMW is a bit of a mismatch since they should be a brand about drivers but they are really just a luxury company that has benefited from their history and people's perception which has...
