Haha, the Z4 and B58 are already locked in and it's very unlikely that either manufacture would allow an engine change even during a refresh.
A 500hp S58 engine in a little Zupra coupe would completely shut the internet down. However, it's not going to happen. Oh well, what's done is done...
In December of last year BMW agreed to supply Toyota with 1.6 litre and 2.0 litre diesel engines to Toyota’s European vehicles beginning in 2014.
The Japanese company said that it was looking to tap into BMW’s expertise in making sports cars. “I am sure working with BMW will enhance Toyota’s...
I've attended the M Track Days @ Thermal, Master The Manual twice, the 991.2 GT3 driving @ PEC L.A and the Lexus Performance Driving School at Fontana. I'll be honest and say that they don't know how to build a sports car...yet. If the RC-F Track Edition is the latest and greatest thing...
No CHR hybrid for the U.S though. Who know if it wasn't available during that time frame. Rumors already started swirling back in '17. The meeting between BMW and Toyota was for the Z4 and Supra platform and the B58 engine. Not taking away anything from the B58 but as I mentioned, BMW...
The X series is 1,000 lbs more heavier though.
Let's be real for a sec. BMW did not need Toyota. For what? For R&D on their hybrid tech even though BMW has a successful i8 and Toyota has a boring ass Prius. Also to make their low tier BMW, the Z4 more reliable. :rofl: Toyota has been in...
A 6 sec delta between the M2 and M2C is a pretty significant improvement. You're talking about with 7:40-45 with a stock MKV, not like the VLN Supra that had some mods, right? I dunno, we shall see.
Dude, put the crack away. :D
I doubt BMW will give the Toyota Supra GRMN an S58 from their M division. The contract is already sealed with the B58 and will have a better tune, more boost, better suspension and more aero.
Valid points. Let's take NĂĽrburgring Nordschleife for now and this is from fastestlaps.com. M2C has a higher top speed. We shall see though.
981 Cayman GT4: 7:42.00
718 Cayman S: 7:47.00
M2C: 7:52.36
981 Cayman S: 7:55.00
Z4 G29: 7:55.41
M2: 7:58.00
Speaking of, the Carrera GT's gas tank is literally inside the seat. There is def some head scratchers with German engineering. The air cooled to water cooled transition has been a little rough for Porsche. The 996/997 GT3 and Turbo models spilling coolant because the coolant pipe flange...
Continuing off from you and @Guff discussion about the MKIV's horrible crash rating. You did mention how majority of the cars in the 90's aside from a Volvo were bad.
I absolutely agree with you guys and that's part of continuing evolution of the automobile. It adds nostalgic and period...
Totally!! I think you might be right or at least they sampled part of it around 14:00. I remember Sony hired some of the best musicians to enhance the video game play experience. I say past tense because I haven't played video games since PS3. :rofl:
Since they are both under GM, that's essentially what they did. Now if Nissan went over to Chevrolet to build the next Z, then you can call it the Nissan 370 ZL1. :rofl:
Speaking of Miata. :rofl: In all honesty, you can't blame people when they classify the MKV as the "Z4 Coupe" even with all of the information that's available.
