i'm guessing here, but based on my experience in automotive/racing industry, but i don't think any major system changes being scoped now could be introduced into a production vehicle until mid-cycle upgrade.

excellent, i may be able to afford one by the mid cycle update. Big power and 6/7MT pls

there is little news because the forum insiders have gone and there's less speculation on the looks. this late in development, there will be no major changes. any changes being worked on now will be a mid cycle update

LFA was always a Lexus brainchild, development team and everything was separate from Toyota. Yes it says Toyota on the build plate, I even have a picture, but it was going to wear a Lexus badge from day zero. Source: internal Toyota sources, posted on this forum a few months back.

yeah, won't get that one. have you read how it is made? It's not actually blue pigment. fascinating.

i will never buy one on principle if that's the case

why did it have to be mirrored for LHD? Can't you LHD people think backwards? :P

Makes me think the auto was also considered due to ability to handle bulk torque I also hope that it does feel like a sequential. Sequential transmissions are fantastic. Also, it's Japanese. Not Chinese :)

I thought we knew this? The issue is not TSS and manual, but TSS and BMW chassis electronic systems (and manual trans)?

A70 all but confirmed there is no wing like FT1 And yes agree- that photo shows the curves and lines quite well (and the light seems to negate the effects of the camo) ... I think it's a good indication of the presence the road car will have

Tbh if the zf8 is (or can be tuned) to have fast sharp aggressive shifts, like a good DSG, I'll be ok with it. Closer to sequential the better.

finally, no snow-spec wheels and ride height

agree wholeheartedly, but let me turn it off completely. like i can in the GT86 and my AMG. kthnx.

exactly. this is not a car that an 86/BRZ shopper can afford.

I'm guessing because there's structural members under there, but would look pox to have a small window. Given the light weight, the hatch is probably some composite material so needs bigger pillars for strength.

hmmm, i think it's different down here... manuals are more popular. let me find some numbers. shame to hear automatics are so popular abroad though. I guess the "i can't drive stick" memes were real :( and btw, calling it stick? wtf guys:P

Toyota will never let their halo model have anything less than the best safety systems. Disappointing but it makes perfect sense from an auto manufacturing market perspective. Curious as to where the 20% came from... I realise they said the global market is dominated by US buyers.... how many...

a few people are having trouble seeing what the car looks like under the camo wrap two biggest things that are affecting the look is the covered glass, and the wheels here's a 5 min /seriously dodgy indication to show how much difference windows make.

It's about 2-3 o'clock on the RHS rear fender, you can see it in these pics These are the snow wheels and tyres Factory sizes are 18 and 190" with 275 R and 255 F

yeah, i want to be able to clutch kick the car, or drop the revs at 4600rpm. manuals are so much more fun.
