Looks exactly the same from what I can see.

Yeah, even down to the clearance for the strut bracing on the airbox. I wonder if the goodwood car has Z4 items because it's still a prototype, or whether they'll just share in production . (simple items like airbox etc)

The front cowling looks the same too.

Given the bmw is single turbo, I assume the A90 will be too. Which is good. Given the efficiency of a larger single is often greater than two smaller ones, as cool as it is... Twin turbo isn't really relevant anymore.

I hope there's provision for a front mount air to air.

It's kinda the supra thing... W2A is for GT4 celica :)

I’m afraid they’ll be identical in power.. maybe just differ in looks and suspension tuning. Every plastic piece looks the same. Except for the Toyota logo.. not surprised to be honest.

Bmw redline is 6500

We're assuming the redline of the A90 is >7400 (ref goodwood promo vid)

Is there a clue in here?

So the Z4 may have a cgi block?

What could you possibly say that we don't already know here?
The engine bay looks like a BMW? yeah no shit, we knew that years ago. You can troll somewhere else now
Nah.. i’m Good, thanks.

Do you mean bay or engine, I was referring to the engine.

You should really try meditation, I think it will help you be less of a dick.

That's what Tada's colleague said... Apparently it was all or nothing, so both cars have the same motor with completely different tuning and transmission shift points are entirely different too.

( btw, BMW has several revisions planned for other motors using the Toyota changes and refinements lol. Tada went from being hated to being a hero... funny how life works)

That's some serious tuning differences for a 1000rpm band of head flow... I'm assuming the turbine/exhaust would be the same too? Normally the mechanical systems wouldn't support an extra 1000rpm jump in redline without choking, so the bmw is seriously detuned compared to the supra, or there are hardware differences...

A stock 2jzgte hits a wall hard at 6400rpm, but add a single turbo and it will kiss the limiter at 7200 before you notice... No amount of tuning can fix the air choking through the oem twins.
