The one in the spy pic is BMW's automatic transmission shift knob though. This is the DCT shift knob.

BMW interior, BMW engine, BMW co developed chassis. Engineered and tested in Germany. Being built by Magna Steyr... seems unbelievable for such an important vehicle to Toyota. My question is exactly what is Toyota doing? design only?

There wouldn't be a point we could just buy a FRS.

Seriously. Compare the FT-1 Concept to this M4 Concept, 100% of people polled would pick the FT-1.

LOL @ Honda. What are they doing over there that takes so many years to finally produce a car. This thing is going to be old before it even has a chance to be new.

So not even built on the fancier more advanced CLAR platform. So basically it's just a styling exercise :( I disappointed.

Here's a directly on point article about fixing carbon fiber body. http://www.cnet.com/news/crash-your-carbon-fiber-i3-ev-heres-how-bmw-will-fix-it/ So it sounds like it won't cost any more than a traditional repair.

Good point. What's important for me is generally the 30-80 mph acceleration since those are what's going to be used the most in everyday situations and on the highway. But a high top speed never hurts for some bragging rights ;)

That's the only one I can remember them bringing it to. But the graphite concept debuted at Pebble Beach Concourse. That's kinda an enthusiast event.

LOVE IT!! :spaz:

Would mean nothing in 2015 for the Supra (no concepts and no test mules) :(

Yea that is all part of the "fun" factor that Toyota has to make sure they nail down. Power is often used as a cheap copout these days to really ripping into a platform and taking out excess weight. Make it lighter than the MKIV Supra with as much power as the C7 and that thing will scream while...

Definitely very similar timelines between the two concepts. Is there supposed to be a concept of the production LF-LC coming too beefore they actually reveal the production model? That might would tell us if we should expect another FT-1 or Supra concept. Would suck to see no more updated...

Make sense. Sports cars are a hard business decision to approve for most manufacturers (except if you're talking Porsche) because they don't sell in huge numbers, are expensive to produce, and lose their popularity (i.e. sales) quickly after the first few years. So Toyota going out and finding...
