  1. Toyota FT-1 Concept on Jay Leno's Garage

    There's only a single red one and a single graphite one.
  2. MKV Toyota Supra Photoshops & Renders based on FT-1 & Prototypes

    Good ole safety regulations.. frequently ruins great concept designs, especially front bumpers and side mirrors. :( This is why I'm dying to see a next concept version - one that's been designed together with engineers and not just by the design studio. If we get a concept that's had...
  3. 3rd gen G29 BMW Z4 (2019-202X)

    What about Frankfurt?
  4. Toyota FT-1 concept & A90 Supra design dissected

    But that front end doesn't resemble the FT-1 front at all. Unless they decide to completely abandon the design altogether I would hope that it carries over more of the FT-1 front bumper than that. Please no Mirai tail lights! I think both head and tail lights are both hideous.
  5. 3rd gen G29 BMW Z4 (2019-202X)

    Side shoot comparison.
  6. 3rd gen G29 BMW Z4 (2019-202X)

    comparison with FT1
  7. Interviews with Chief Engineer Tetsuya Tada

    Maybe he didn't want to specifically mention it by the "Supra" name? A higher class of 86 sounds good to me though. That's a driver's car so if they keep all the fundamental philosophies (lightweight, low CoG, fun even at low speeds) but bump up each of its performance aspects while keeping...
  8. Asian Driver Hits Pedestrian Then Makes a Run for it Hitting Two Vehicles and Running Over a Biker!

    Driver behavior is totally nuts in Asia. There's beeen cases where a driver will hit someone on accident, then make sure he reverses and runs over him again just to make sure he doesn't live to be a witness against the driver. :crazy:
  9. Will FT-1 concept follow the FT-86 timeline?

    Sports cars have taken a hit by rising insurance and gas costs for a long time. It'll take more than a year or a few years to reverse that. Plus all the damn hybrids and electric cars are what the kids these days grow up around.
  10. Will FT-1 concept follow the FT-86 timeline?

    Supposed to be for a long time to come, at least through 2015 I think. Another reason it's too bad the car wasn't out now - the US dollar is so strong currently. Would have made for a more affordable Supra for Americans.
  11. Dear Toyota, Build the FT-1... Spread the word folks

    The source site for the 4 cyl rumor is notorious for making news up. Same site that said a 4 door FR-S was coming. :doh:
  12. Dear Toyota, Build the FT-1... Spread the word folks

    If the Supra gets a 4 cyl then Toyoda should fire himself. But it won't happen, so no worries.
  13. This is the 2020 mid-engine Chevy Corvette / C8 Corvette Z06 revealed

    Lutz spoke and GM smartly listened. Industry needs more mavericks like Lutz. All car enthusiasts should be required to read Car Guys vs. Bean Counters. Great book by Lutz on the constant behind the scenes struggle between the numbers crunchers and the real car guys at auto companies.
  14. Toyota Press Release: FT-1 Concept Coming to Gran Turismo 6 on January 14

    Has anyone ever tried this game? Wish they did a better job with the interior :)
  15. What are you ok / not ok with new Supra sharing with BMW

    Lots of the turbo 6 cylinder BMW engines have also had reliability issues with fuel pumps going.

  17. 3rd gen G29 BMW Z4 (2019-202X)

    Its been reported awhile back that back companies will do their own exterior designs (unlike with the BRZ/86).
  18. Mustang vs FT1 Supra

    GT350 will beat the Supra on power but Supra will beat GT350 on weight and dynamics. Styling remains to be seen but I think most of us here are gonna say it's the Supra that takes it. This is going to be an interesting dogfight!
  19. New Supra and Z4 will share platforms

    If it weighed mid 3000 pounds it wouldn't be able to get a 500 pound reduction probably. It's only because it's so big and heavy a car to begin with that reducing its size and changing its architecture construction can shave off so much weigh.
  20. New Supra and Z4 will share platforms

    At some point down the line I think most cars could end up with some kind of carbon fiber construction. I remember reading recently that Audi and BMW and others formed some kind of group that's targeting a 90% drop in carbon fiber production costs within 6 years. At that point, carbon fiber...
