I'd also argue that a lot of hate for the new A90 comes from people who have either a) never owned a stock A80 TT and just youtube/meme'd them their whole life (news flash a stock turbo 2JZ isn't exciting and runs out of puff at 6300) b) have never owned more than one generation of supra The...

I like that line of thinking... Given Au pretty much get the Japan variants ;)

some of these youtube mongs that are reviewing the car.... seriously, it's like watching a 14 year old kid regurgitate internet garbage. how on earth did they get a ticket to the event????

Yeah, seating position has been described as excellent.

I wonder if all these pre-production reviews, based on ambiguous information (re: A70 question thread) are actually going to do more damage than good Especially given the penchant for 99% of internet users to not read anything in-depth, completely, or properly.

Even my C63 has them. Perhaps it's a German thing?

That review was a bit disappointing - but I was surprised they couldn't tell the difference between the Supra and Z4 wheel and buttons :|

the wheel arches on the GR GTE spec car are taller than the road car - so increase the thickness between top of wheel arch and top of fender, and it's bang on. That said, nothing a 20mm lowering won't fix. In person, the car looks far longer and slimmer than it seems.

Thanks now I have this in my head "domestic or foreiiiiign, I treat you with my service"

While many of the individual components have a BMW feel, I believe on a whole, the interior will feel more Lexus than BMW - purely from a design and cohesion perspective.

I've been following this guy/car for a while, it's fantastic. i'd love to see the A90 on the same tyres....

I can't find the review/image of the dash off (so you can see the numbers are not digital - i watched every single review) but here's the best indication i could find :)

Frederic Aasbo is talking about the A90 in his snapchat story now btw

Actually looking closer at the tach on the laptop - the needle is sitting at about 6200rpm, and the red needle (redline) is still sitting at around 7000rpm. I wonder what the shift quality of the ZF8 is like at 7500+rpm?

Yeah, this kind of investigating work is fun... sadly there's a small few who take it too seriously!! I'm hoping that it's the same engine in the mules - but it can spin to 7700rpm on exisiting valvetrain when modified. That'd be cool 7psi and 380hp kind of makes sense with a W2A intercooler...

The big difference with the S engines is that they're developed at M GmBH which is a (BMW-owned) seperate motorsport entity. There's very little correlation between BMW and M on the "M" engines. Tada also mentioned that the engine featured at goodwood would be the flagship for the car. I am...

There's another video - I think the spanish one that goes for half an hour - where you see the dash with the car off. Everything is a screen except the numbers on the tacho.

haha, I have the exact engine. Don't get me wrong - I love the JZ engines. I get what you're saying and I agree - the best technology Toyota had at the time was on the 2JZ. But none of these technologies were new (some even for Toyota - the 7M had Karman-vortex style AFM, oil squirters...

also, check out the spy shots of the dash. the numbers on the tacho are physical, not a screen. doesn't look like there has been much allowance for RPM >7000. :(

twin power turbo is BMW talk for "twin scroll single turbo"
