maybe, maybe not :)

lol, made a small mistake there... :D

according to industry folks, it saves a bunch of money overall by reducing weight. to which I say, NEIN, das ist scheisse!

from that discussion, it was made apparent that the BMW engineers were pretty lost in terms of priorities; that's probably why their car was slower.

there's still cladding on it, just not a lot

both ballpark; it's dynamic

Correct, it was always going to be a Lexus halo car; however, it definitely was an aluminum body car for 1/2 of its development before they scrapped that idea and went off the wall with full CFRP, magnesium, V10, and the other crazy stuff. I'm almost willing to bet that transmission was an older...

plenty of Toyota Japan personnel have driven the car during development, but I don't have an answer for you as far as why Europeans always seem to be driving in the spyshots. reliability testing is BMWs job? dunno.

jokes aside, I rationalize the LFA as the actual modern Supra because development began right as the A80 chassis was being phased out ('00), and the LC is the sister car just like the A80/Z30 were. both of them were also designed to showcase the cutting edge of tech and refinement just as their...

LC = new SC + $40k ... you're welcome :D

spyshots showed full bmw gear as far as that goes, right down to the touchpad thing or whatever that is.

that rear end is awful... I actually like the protruding tails on the RC and LC though

I never pressed for more information honestly, so I'm not sure what the specific details were.

yeah, the engineering teams couldn't stand each other, but they actually ended up being fairly okay due to Tada speaking German and helping the BMW team try to understand some differences. It was only after Tada assisted BMW in making the Z4 more competitive (after they got owned by 10s) that...

lmao hahaha

Ryley, I'd welcome you to San Diago anytime

my brother and I were just discussing that the other day, and other than possibly giving BMW some tech we were both like yeah.... I dunno. Toyota saves a ton of money on this however.

I'd own one if it feel in my lap... it would go nicely with my scotch and many leather bound books.

the "67k" Cayman S includes hardly anything... plenty of things standard even on an average grocery getter aren't present, let alone some of the stuff on the SPX. when you option one out to include those things, the car is instantly ~$75-80k.
