^ which is pretty odd because Honda is one of the best equipped aside from the Kawi... Suzukis are typically cheaper and have had their share of issues as a result, and Yamahas are usually a bit behind the curve and had transmission issues up until recently.

well, I dont think we've even seen the maximum the car is capable of around the track, but that's where it was at as of late. It can only get better I suppose.

A lot of folks are praising Akio and Gazoo, but I would caution against that somewhat. While Gazoo's boss is an awesome guy, and Tada is a director within GR, they (GR/Akio) are actually the ones complicating things significantly and driving the price up. Due to their interference, departments...

the car is now testing with a manual :)

I was actually not aware of that car, but the supra is still around 2-3 seconds faster than that around the Ring. Cayman GT4: 7:42 718 Cayman S: 7:46 -------------------------------------------------------------------------- And since everyone is asking, the car is going to be 65k with...

yep^ you pretty much have it there... there will likely be a few other additions as well to set it apart, but it will be immediately evident which car is which once owners are driving them around.

it sounds like a B58 because it is a B58, just with some different engineering :) the V6TT is a brand new flagship Lexus motor, let alone the fact that Lexus does not share powertrains with Toyota, and that the two divisions are historically at odds with each other on the management front.

Haha no nothing that extreme

well, it's VERY impressive, but the car is also going to cost more than what I was originally told, and the way options are going to be applied to this car are simple to say the least, but I cant expand more on that right now. there were quite a few people already pretty butthurt about the...

4cyl is still a go atm, but I think I remember overhearing that BMW was doing most of the testing on that car with Toyota putting full focus on the Spec-B. Same chassis and they apply changes to both, but Toyota is far more involved in the top spec at this point. I havent heard anything about...

Yep, correct. ^

the car on the left is SPX spec-A and the car on the right is SPX spec-B; they are different trim levels (hence the different brakes), although that Spec-A isnt wearing some of the updated items. Spec-B is the one everyone cares about anyways :)

yeah, I read that like what? lol this is stuff I'm not even supposed to say, but then again I keep most of the really sensitive stuff off of here anyways. you'd be suprised how easy it is to track down who is leaking information... [interestingly enough, there are a few other members here that...

I was just told it is putting down times very close to the Cayman GT4, for reference.

not sure on that as the time I given was a matter of seconds ahead versus an overall time that said, I have a feeling this car is easily on par or even faster than cars in its class given how certain people responded to the times

Just wanted to throw out that this car DESTROYED the Z4 on Spa and by that I mean absolutely annhilated it lol. I cant post the numbers, but this has created a serious point of contention between the BMW and Toyota teams.

there was also a pre-subaru collab prototype that had already undergone some development using the 2ZZ... like you said, that got trashed and then everything started from scratch with some decent disagreements to start. Tada said (privately), the crossover from working as purely a Toyota team...

I'm actually researching the delay from here in Japan well, since it probably doesnt matter at this point, the render I was shown did not have side intakes, but who knows maybe it will be a thing.

the car pretty much sucks for $150k lol; you can buy a GT-R which trades blows and even beats it in some areas for 40k less. that's also an old chassis at this point too, not that the NSX is all that recent either given the delays it experienced. good thing they're considering the incentives...

for sure, it doesn't neccesarily benefit the enthusiast much unless they decide to dump money into something fun, but ultimately most of the population these days just want a reliable applicance with four wheels lol. honestly though, even though I like where Akio's head is, from a business...
