Different. Not better, just more "traditional" or "normal".

It feels closer to the GR86, but the "F1 Aero" bits feel very contrived and out of place on the Adro bumper. I think it would look better if they designed it to have a more traditional grill opening, but at that point, the entire front end would look like an 86.

I'm weird, I think the actual Supra looks better than the FT-1 concept. The rear is a home run, and that was kept almost unchanged, but the front of the FT-1 is just weirdly proportioned. It goes on forever, the headlights are too low, and i personally don't like the nose cone thing.

I've also never seen the FT-1 in person, so it's kind of hard to really compare the two fairly.

I don't mind it but the cost is prohibitive. As usual they exaggerate their position by comparing a lowered car with wide wheels with a std car. Those 2 things alone make a big difference to how the car looks with regards to aggression and width. So basically they have exaggerated how their modified front bumper changes the look. A more honest comparison would be to compare to another stock ride height car on stock wheels. I guess the worlds not really about honesty these days though. Perception is the new reality.
