Even still, look closely. Is that steering wheel - that exact steering wheel - used on any other BMW? No, it isn't. Yes, individual components look BMW-esque, and some minor switchgear is pure BMW. but the HVAC controls and etc are unique to the A90 - I can't find a BMW that shares that...

They're mandatory IMHO :)

When you put them on paper, 370Z specs are comparable to a 911 Carrera. When you put the cars next to eachother, they perform very, very differently. (i.e. the 911 is fantastic, and the 370Z is a boat) Calm your farm people, the numbers aren't the be all and end all. It's hard to be patient, I...

exactly! judging the interior based on the switchgear and vague blanketed shape is absurd. I'm not saying it will be good, or bad, but there's just not enough info to tell anything at this point - consistent with the whole car really. The seats look nice and will change the overall feel of...

the shape of the whole dash is more Lexus/FT1 than BMW. BMW of late typically bulge out towsards the HVAC controls, where as the Supra seems flat, and concave across the dash face.

I had never made that connection, but yes, spot on!!

Did anyone get a video of the second run? I was dreaming of electric sheep and missed it. Was hoping for a McLaren style tyre-smoke jump off the start line.

You do realise that the A80 was not the only Supra - the A40, A60 and A70 all had fairly boring interiors. The A70 had a dash that looked like an AE93 Corolla Seca - the A60 looked similar to every other Toyota at the time - corona/AE86 etc etc (and the LFA) I will reserve judgement until...

A C63 has fake vents St the front, for aesthetic balance. Otherwise airflow and aero would be bad (if functional vent)

Yes, I'll go back and try to censor my posts somewhat. I'd hate the guy to be inundated with messages. Thanks for the foresight (and guff) I'm tired, should be asleep but it's fun playing sleuth.

Hmmm, I'll have to listen closer. I did think I heard that odd harmonic howl of a V6.

Yes of course. I didn't even think that people would do that - I would have just pasted images.

He mentions it's done over 500 laps of the ring in testing. Cool. 3100lbs with iron block. 1400kg. Not bad. Less than an RZ A80 (1490kg)

Awesome news! An engineer for cusco it seems.

Going through this gentleman's Facebook pages, reading the comments on his A90 posts. A lot of insider info consistent with what we've learnt here.

Nah, I was wrong. The microphone is not linked to the video_ so you get audio from a different point from where the video is recorded. It is the A90... Definitely has a decent I6 howl.

I had a guy message me on instagram with heaps of detailed photos and info posted by a user - which is very consistent with what's been put here (iron block, low weight etc) 275 rear tyres too!!! I'll post asap.

another vid, audio is good, even hear a little sneeze from the wastegate. has an odd tone to it, i like it
