That 'something' is probably the fact that it's built on a very old and outdated platform. What I'm worried about is how much this thing will weigh, the 370Z with a manual transmission and its bare bones interior. is already around the same weight as the Supra 3.0, which has an extremely rigid...

Have you never heard of horsepower per litre? That's specific output, you hang out on car forums and you don't even know something as simple as that? SMH.

I still find it hard to believe that the new engine in the next-gen car is going to have a lower specific output than the old engine in the current gen car.

Just to remind you all, sometimes best car's renderings can quite off from the actual final product. For example, their 400Z rendering looked so different from the Z that was recently shown in that teaser of Nissan's future product that even just a glimpse of the actual Z you can tell that...

Look at this Forbes article: https://www.forbes.com/sites/bryancampbell/2020/05/28/nissan-z-replacement-teaser-video/#2c50907474d8 RIDICULOUS. These so called "car enthusiasts" really think that the next generation Z is going to be some kind of godsend that can smash the Supra at a much more...

The vents on the front fenders and the side skirts remind me of the Lexus RC F, I like it:thumbsup:.

IMO the big problems of the engine in the 86/BRZ is the way it feels and the torque curve rather than its specs. Based on Car and Drivers' tests of the 86 and the ND2 Miata, both of them have a quarter mile trap speed of 95mph, yet a standing quater mile run in an ND2 is much more enjoyable than...

I actually like the 2021 over the 2020 model, not a fan of the pops, farts and crackles. Yo Guff, when will the embargo be lifted?

A lightly tuned 86 lapping Tsukuba Circuit almost 4 seconds faster than a bone stock 86, and that's with the A/C turned on, no doubt it can go even faster with the A/C turned off, a more track focused suspension and wheel alignment setup and a set of stickier tyres like Yokohama A052s.

Is the current gen 86/BRZ going to have a roughly 10 year life cycle? I feel that the article by Autocar might just be a regurgitation of the rumours we've already heard of some time ago. I hope that's not the case. The current RWD TNGA platforms are designed for much bigger and heavier cars...

https://carbuzz.com/news/mysterious-subaru-brz-spied-with-aggressive-upgrades The people running all those car websites still think this prototype is just a facelift lol. I mean who the hell would introduce a facelifted version of a car that is already this late into its lifecycle?

Can't they squeeze 100hp/litre out of an NA FA24? Basically Honda S2000 top end power but with much more low end and mid range torque.

Foreshadowing, @A70TTR ? ;)

@A70TTR the engine in the current 86/BRZ is quite a bad example of a high revving naturally aspirated engine, not hard for Toyota and Subaru to make another NA engine that's significantly improved over the current FA20 IMO.

I'm hoping for at least 250hp though.

Toyota did say the ECU calibration for the engine and transmission is unique to the Supra, but almost no one on the Internet believed it and kept calling it "iT's JuSt A rEbAgGe Z4", and now those people can suck it. The slightly longer stopping distance when compared to the Z4 could be caused...

Black looks very good too. Glad Jean Pierre is very happy with his new ride.
