I like the C7 lights on the Corvette. I didn't At first when i saw one in person during the day. But I was driving behind one at night the other day and actually liked them.
The FT1 concept light are nice but will probably change. The GT86 concept also had some similar tail lights but changed...
I can see this for the sub 86 car. Makes sense since it will be smaller. They'll probably build just a base platform for it and share it and thats all. I hope this is what they're doing for the FT1 just the platform sharing, nothing else.
We really need more insight on whether Toyota will use their own motor or borrow BMW's.
If it's BMW - obviously I6TT
If it's Toyota - V6 TT, V8, possibly I6TT
We know the outside body will be different, what about the Heart Toyota?
I'm sure this will steal the show again, especially if they do name it Supra. I can see the headlines already 'Toyota Supra is back!' Lol
Kia had a sports concept last year in Detroit the Stinger GT4 which was RWD and supposed to rival the FRS/BRZ. No news about that car since. It is KIA but...
Makers:
- $50-60k
- 2+2 seats
- Retractable spoiler
- 400+ hp
- >3600 lbs
- Look 75% or more like the concept
- manual option. DCT only would be dissapointing but would still consider.
Beakers:
- $65k +
- No Manual + No DCT. Meaning an 8 speed Auto.
- BMW engine with no Toyota changes made to...
I like it. I'm glad it looks better than the concept. I think once the reviews come out for it, hopefully it outperformes its competition to make it worth all the hype and wait plus worth the price tag. Otherwise Honda is in for a bust.
^ I agree. Some people think the Supra is a super car. Which Toyota built a true GT Sports car. Just because it can hang and beat true super cars does not make it a 'super car'. I think thats what they're aiming with the FT1 which is why I believe this will be a 50-60k car, toned down of course...
Lets see the MKV come out first. But I can see Toyota bringing a mid engine back possibly MR-2 successor.
But for a super car mid engine car, I think they would badge it a Lexus. Possibly a new LFA :spaz:
^ Possibly. More gears = shorter gears
Still though tapping a paddle will never replace that feeling of having to push the clutch in and using your hand to shift from one gear to another. Statistically the paddle shift will be better.
It's like writing a paper. You can either use a pencil and...
I'm hoping Toyota offers both a manual an DCT option. Even though I would go with a manual, I'm hoping they have a DCT option and not an 8 speed auto. They can really take advantage and use the DCT on all the Lexus F models as well.
After watching the NSX debut today and what comes with that car is a V6 twin turbo hybrid with 550 bhp+ going for $155k+, I don't see how Toyota can build a similar car for 50-60k as the hinted priced tag. So if they are sticking with the intended price I think a Hybrid FT1/Supra is out the...
