4cyl is still a go atm, but I think I remember overhearing that BMW was doing most of the testing on that car with Toyota putting full focus on the Spec-B. Same chassis and they apply changes to both, but Toyota is far more involved in the top spec at this point.What's the go with the SPX with the four cylinder? The early mules definitely had a four and DCT
is it safe to assume the 4 cylinder will be a 100% BMW engine while the Spec-B is a BMW/Toyota engine? i just hope the top of the line 6 cyl model has some distinct styling cues so it stands out from the "volume" 4 cyl model...4cyl is still a go atm, but I think I remember overhearing that BMW was doing most of the testing on that car with Toyota putting full focus on the Spec-B.

I havent heard anything about the rumored third spec though, the lower powered 6cyl; at this point, I have to assume that's smoke and mirrors.
So, in other words:the car on the left is SPX spec-A and the car on the right is SPX spec-B; they are different trim levels (hence the different brakes), although that Spec-A isnt wearing some of the updated items.
Spec-B is the one everyone cares about anyways
yep^ you pretty much have it there... there will likely be a few other additions as well to set it apart, but it will be immediately evident which car is which once owners are driving them around.
given how different the models are vs just say an N/A MKIV vs TT, thats a fairly accurate assessment IMO.so there WILL be a Celica..HA! knew it
A few months after they unveil the car at Geneva.^ This prototype still looks to be sporting a lot of cladding. Probably going to be several months till we see unpadded production bodies.
