Ha, I see myself in some of the photos from HQ.
I have not been back up front to see if it is still there (it's one of the test vehicles) but the lobby it's at is open to the public during work hours. There is no badge access requirements where it was located..
Some of the angles that this...
:popcorn: You guys are some believers...the car adjusted for inflation today is 65k. The car then had 320 hp. I don't know why your expectations are so high. :dunno:
Not really,
The 718 Cayman and Boxster weigh the same despite one being hardtop and the other a soft top. So technically depending on how the chassis was developed they could essentially be about the same weight.
Also, for whoever mentioned the e92 m3 vs e93 m3 one was a hardtop convertible vs...
There are two b58 output motors out 335 hp or 355 hp both with 369 lb ft tq. I don't know why they would chose the 335 hp output. So many people reiterating facts we already know over and over again..... Also, the current rumor is they aren't using the B58 but I'll hold my breath on that...
I'd say no, from a BMW perspective maybe but I think it's more so on how the Z4 design language is different than previous BMWs. So I'd expect that kind of response from them regarding a new BMW design. I'm one of those not truly feeling the new BMW design language but the Toyota designed the...
That's the current theory yes. But, I'm stating it will have a minimum of those numbers. If they are building a new motor I'd imagine it will have better specs than what the B58 has, no?
It's definitely more than 340hp
Considering the current B58 output is as shown below
B58B30M5
265 kW (355 hp) @ 5500-6500 rpm
500 N⋅m (369 lb⋅ft) @ 1520-4800 rpm
year in production (2016-present)
I wonder how Toyota was capable of getting BMWs in house built DCT? I bet the car is a ZF8 auto. DCT has only been in their M cars (aside from the limited IS model) and the new M5 isn't even using DCT anymore. I don't recall BMW having any series motors with hp north of 400 so we can kiss that...
I'm all in for wild theories and trust me I'd like it to be as much the case as the other but as soon as this venture was kicked off faith in that was slim.
You don't build a great Supra teaming up with another company. So we're going to get a Supra wrapped Z4. They're racecar was a shell and...
