Maybe in USA... here z4 m40i with 8ZF before any options starts at 1k euro LESS than Launch Supra ;) I still think it should be cheaper.
btw 0-100kph in EU is said to be 4.6 for Z4 while Supra 4.3... ;)
Problem is most ppl want autos these days in their sports cars. "True" manual enthuziasts are the minority. On the internet ever1 wants a manual, but in real life when its time to vote with your money, most ppl get 12 way adjustable seats and auto. Most 718, 911 go with PDK (I was looking at...
PS4S does I think, not regular PS4? Still, even with a nicer compound MPSS is no way on the level of semislick like CUP2. And CUP2r are even 1step above. I'd but that (or Trofeo R) on Supra and see how fast it can go :p
Only road tire than can match some of semislicks is PS4S at the moment I think.
If stock is capable of low 7:4x thats faster than a 718S and on par with Cayman 981 GT4, and that is not slow at all. Imagine lighter, unlimited 400hp GRMN version on CUP2r... That sounds like high twenties car/low 30's :O And thats kinda insane considering Ferrari 458 and pre-lci 991 GT3RS did...
Interesting is this car will be build less than 600km from where I'm at yet its so heavy taxed and overpriced ^^
Poor EU, needs a 10k price cut :) on the other hand USA gets 45kg heavier version so... I'm still hyped anyway -.-
I think it should be price competitive in EU and instead they play in Porsche range... that may not go as well as they plan :/ if it was here around 55k euro it would probably sell like hell. Instead almost 75k for Launch Edition...
I really wanna see pricing on 2.0 258 version.
One of the guys got a text from Toyota that he can preorder it for that prize... insane, 718S is just few k more :/
Also base 6cyl is said to be around 65k euro... i think at least 10k 2much.
Welcome to the net where more hp = better car. Ppl rather have 500hp and 1700kg weight than 200 in a 1000kg. I already see all over the net: OMG only 340hp?? WTFF why so low! WTF I can have Camaro/Mustang for XX less, WTF why not 2JZ 1000hp in it?! :D And ppl saying a 370z which is based on 350z...
So the USA car weights actually more? I'm asking coz I just realized your weight is said to be 1540kg while on EU presentation for press Toyota said its 1495kg for 3.0?
So there will be even lower power trim? Less 200 in a Supra sounds.... eh?
Also, I dont see where does GT86 fit into this ? 200hp Supra would be just bit faster than 86 costing prob more. Also they are working already on new 86 for around 2022, that will likely have over 200+, maybe from 2.5...
How is 1600+ kg NOT heavy in what wants to be relatively small, nibmle sports car? 6cyl in a Supra is OVER 100KG LESS than M2C.
It doesn't roll? Ofc it does (I'm not saying MX5 like, but its certainly there), which is obvious when u change directions fast, you can also feel the mass while...
Thats quite fast (0-60) for 340hp I'd say. Some Toyota magic or more hp than advertised? ;)
2.0 weight is 1395kg which I find really cool, gettin that 2.0 from 258 to 300-320 will be quite easy so you get pretty light car for todays standards with quite nice performance.
Also I dont see how M2C...
