I agree, one thing I missed about it....the looks and attention. Anytime I was at a light with the t-tops off or filling up gas, someone always asked "what is that car?", "wow...beautiful car", "is that a Ferrari?" I was younger at the time and wasn't very mechanically inclined...however, that...

Actually picking up a 300ZX this weekend as my new project. Pretty excited about it as I use to own one back in 2000. Great car, lots of problems....but man did that car get attention.

Found these online...not sure if they was posted before:

Going back to this....I wonder if Toyota’s reasoning for not having a manual transmission anymore is because of the bad experience with manual transmission manufacturers? They are probably trying to play it safe with automatics as they are least likely to have issues justifying automatic...

Exactly my point...either Toyota is going to wow the world with this car and surprise us in a way that will leave us in awe....or, it will be the biggest let down in automotive history. With two weeks to go and no clear evidence of the cars' lines, engine types, trans type, etc... this is not...

Can we at least get some glimpse of the car to be revealed later this month? Nissan let its audience see some bits and pieces of the GTR before it was debuted weeks later. This camo-crap is really pissing me off.

Any way you could add the FT-1 concept spoiler lifted/activated up in that rendering?

I like that!.....I like that ALOT! This with a stout power train would be a guaranteed winner. Nice work!

Good info, thanks!

Are you serious??? All this time, I thought Toyota was the one who was phasing parts out because of their policy on reproductions past 15yrs....but your saying it was Getrag who did this just to get back at Toyota!?!?!?! Jesus....this must have been some hell of a disagreement. Really wish...

I don't understand the decision making people from these Japanese automakers....I really don't. They do this not only for sports cars, but also for their 4x4 SUV and trucks. Look at Jeep and the Wrangler!!! It has offered a manual transmission since the Wranglers inception. Toyota pulled the...

The MKIV Supra, because the entire video starts off as, "the very first thing they ask you is, when's the next Supra coming?" The 2000GT (while an amazing car) doesn't have the same impact that the MKIV Supra has on the current generation of sports car enthusiasts.

Just thought I'd throw this out there as a reminder....:D "It's difficult to bring back what was there in the past...due to regulations and so forth. I think those types of cars (Supra) should be left well alone, and what we can do as designers is to create a new concept to capture the...

Here are my questions...and these are serious questions: 1) If Toyota wanted to capture and echo the essence and soul from the 2000GT & Supra for the FT-1, did that mean there will be comparable quality and engineering for the FT-1? 2) Will we actually see a manual transmission in the new...

First and foremost, welcome to the forums! There has been no confirmation of anything for the FT-1 prototype....not the engine, transmission, name, wheelbase, branding, etc... Nothing has been confirmed. Just because Toyota re-patented the Supra name doesn't mean they will call the FT-1 a...

Especially the 355!! Now before you go Google'ing Car & Driver circa 1994 "Supra vs. Ferrari 0-60 comparison", understand that Toyota has never and probably will never produce a Formula 1 or equivalent inspired sports car as compared to Ferrari. It's not because Toyota doesn't have the...

Do yourself a favor and NEVER compare Ferrari F1 or Ferrari in general to anything made by Toyota in public again....NEVER....that's free advice.

That is precisely what the FT-1 will be, an 86 with more power. The sports cars of today are not built to handle heaps of power like they use to be....not because they are junk, but because technology has made it possible for car makers to not use expensive, heavy, and strong--er materials like...

Guff, great video...I was actually watching this with my girlfriend last night on YouTube before even seeing this post. While I agree that Toyota will definitely be injecting alot of it's soul and feel with previous halo cars into the new "FT-1" (still can't officially call it a Supra until...

If I am not mistaken, all Supra's MKI, MKII, MKIII, and MKIV never came with a spoiler as standard equipment on base or "lower-end" models...correct? I thought all spoilers were offered as optional on base and non-turbo models, and standard on the high-end Turbo models. If historical trends...
