Not Brian Posted July 28, 2014 Report Share Posted July 28, 2014 looks like an 8 year old scribbled his version of a generic looking space car and then daddy rapes again him for bringing crayons to the dinner table. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TTQ B4U Posted July 28, 2014 Report Share Posted July 28, 2014 Hmmmm.....somewhere on this planet a team of designers got some money to actually build a final product car that looks like a concept car. Reserving the final opinion until I see that said pics are what it will really end up being. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mallard Posted July 28, 2014 Report Share Posted July 28, 2014 The pics are just the FT-1 concept from earlier in the year, it has no bearing on what the actual car will look like. I will say that the i8 is a pretty bad ass car, and turning it to 11 would make for a very capable car. As I said in the Challenger thread, with all the upcoming restrictions on CO2 and MPG you're going to see high HP gas engines die out.

ImUrOBGYN Posted July 29, 2014 Report Share Posted July 29, 2014 There may also be multiple engine options. All f'n speculation still anyway, afaic. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JaSSon Posted July 29, 2014 Report Share Posted July 29, 2014 3 electric motors and 1 gasoline motor and all we get is 350HP. Weak sauce Toyota. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

miller11386 Posted July 29, 2014 Report Share Posted July 29, 2014 I will still mention no car designed outside of Tokyo has ever made it to production for Toyota. Also so much for "staying true to the inline six heritage" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ImUrOBGYN Posted July 29, 2014 Report Share Posted July 29, 2014 3 electric motors and 1 gasoline motor and all we get is 350HP. Weak sauce Toyota. Where did you here that? The hybrid drivetrain is based on the Yaris prototype where it made over 400. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ImUrOBGYN Posted July 29, 2014 Report Share Posted July 29, 2014 I will still mention no car designed outside of Tokyo has ever made it to production for Toyota. Also so much for "staying true to the inline six heritage" As I said above, there's talk of more than one powertrain option. Also, I find it hard to believe that there wont be a turbo inline six Toyota especially given their colab with BMW. Whether that's this car exactly remains to be seen. In the meantime, buy an FRS, swap a 2jz into it and stop whining. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mojoe Posted July 29, 2014 Report Share Posted July 29, 2014 So much hate on the new unknown. Guessing within a year of being out, everyone loves it like the GTR. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Second Gen Posted July 29, 2014 Report Share Posted July 29, 2014 Both BMW and Toyota sported inline six cylinder engines (Only one was turbo'ed). I am sure both vendors would like to hear from gear heads (Hint this group) about the need to produce a reasonably priced sporty cars that perform. Too many of us are also hybrid phobic (I am too).. Lets see what the production model(s) look like and if the manufacturers can produce something that the gear heads like. Like the fact we are seeing a resurgence of some of the original sports cars are coming back (AE86, Supra, maybe a RX7). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ImUrOBGYN Posted July 30, 2014 Report Share Posted July 30, 2014 Did you read the linked article? Sorry, I thought I had but I guess I hadn't read that one exactly. Must've been Autocar or something similar. Anyway, everywhere I've seen in the past and recently, it's said 400 or more. That's the first I heard of it being as low as 350.

I thought the engine has to be newer than the chassis. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
