BMW M to me has usually meant in-between. A useable everyday car but something you can take to the track do a few laps and go home. Supra would probably be more hardcore and suited to the track. I think the setup especially on the GR will be harder. If they put electric seats in the GR it would defeat the purpose The Z4 looks neater cleaner more grown up. The Supra for the younger guy who doesnt care too much about appearances. Not many of those around The Z4 does look nice and clean. Anyone looking into it?

Social Influencer. There are kids with more subscribers than him though. But they are known in these "circles". Saw the video too. 382 hp GR in Matte Grey 0-60 in 4.1 seconds!

Isnt the full reveal today? Pretty much what final one will look like. 11 hours time. Near midnight. toyotagazooracing.com if youre still awake! Highest spec 382 hp 6 cylinder. $55,000 dollars roughly. I guess they will reveal the true price tonight.
-
yep, or maybe they thought it too extreme looking for a road car.

Thanks he will look into it. -
thats a shadow of the ft-1. Then again if they kept it as the ft-1 therell be ppl saying its got supercar looks but no power to match.
-
If it came like that it would have been. Imagine that at 50k.....But they got scared. Best saving the money and get 235! or 135i and tune to 390bhp. No need to spunk money unless its the rumored go faster 390 version
-
my brother was dissapointed too. Best hang on for the future. Right now in 2019 people are still afraid to release anything close to groundbreaking. While its different and good see some new cars. The scaling down is a bit safe. To get remotely close to the FT-1 youll need new front wings, new front bumper, new hood, new rear wings and a retractable spoiler all designed by an indy company. By then you might as well grab the ball and go home. Vaydor G35 anyone? Better yet save your money. Or get a Z4.
-
that transformation is kind of depressing. No more ft-1 pics please. That bonnet is supra esque. Long.
-
you want air to get to those brakes or they might overheat like the TTS/TTRS. Flaking calipers lol. Weight saving too
-
ooopss someones going to the naughty step

What happened to the brexit thread? You should reopen it
-
dont bother, we know what the result will be. They sold 1723 so far in 12 months and new dealers are opening up in Australia and Japan. cant that bad looking even Americans want it in US but it aint happening cuz Renault. Im not a huge fan of Renault, but its good too see them go against the grain. Market says dont build a mid range sports car as it wont sell great Hey each to their own lol I think its a nice car. The front is somewhat different from any modern car and goes back to the original car. 4C looks nice too. The interior blows away the 4C. Very nicely done. Just the screen maybe should be integrated with the dash
-
The front is paying homage to the original. Not everyones cup, but retaining a retrostyle. Hey not everyone is going to like it. Besides while all the other manufacturers are playing it safe good on them to design something that looks different from anything on the road. Looks are subjective and its got good feedback from the critics. Top gear car of the year and finalist for car of the year at Geneva 2019. A lot of people dont like the 370Z nismo mark 2 look because its trying too hard to be a supercar. So you cant win. I rather a different design which is the japanese way than a standard audi a5 mk 1 look. Each to their own I guess. 4c probably has a race exhaust. These will need a custom exhaust. Funny how all the jap sports cars are muted to meet stringent requirements. But germans like my bros 911 are loud from factory.
-
Im glad the Japanese dont stick to conventional design tbh. Lets see some outside the box stuff. Hopefully more stuff comes out pushing boundaries. Even though they changed it a lot from ft-1
-
so does the 4C have road presence? Or MX5
-
Wont be an issue if done right. Around the track its a no brainer. Thank USA down to Europe thered be no Z since the 350
-
Okay we,ll reconvene in 18-24 months if there is at least a concept and/or announcement! Officially We,ll leave it to the car gods to decide its faith! I remain positive even if it may be the final iteration. Thats if it gets past the boardroom onto the design floor.
-
vision GT to R-50. But I guess vision gt was supposed to be fully electric?? Maybe not a GTR but a show of the future in just design terms But they decided to stick with the current engine and slap £750,000 price tag.
-
Understandable!! but a bold statement judging by the forums and comments on many videos. No one as in not enough people want a 400Z. We,ll see.
-
Well after flooring it in my cute little run around battery drains. Only charges up from regen braking and coming off the gas using engine braking. Youd need a much more capable hybrid battery for any sports car. Sport ev best keep that in Gran Turismo games A sport leaf maybe not. But in a sports car for the future It could be a thing if you really want to keep petrol engine alive a little longer via hybrid battery

Prioritising the Juke and Qashqai I understand. The qashqai I was referring to UK. The Juke refresh will come soon im sure. With 800+ engineers and the limited amount of models it shouldn't really be an issue to refresh all models simultaneously. Youre saying theres no new Z because a lack of evidence to suggest so. Which is fine. I hear what youre saying from a business point of view. The market is bad but it didnt stop Toyota or BMW. I dont think itll stop Nissan. Ive been on numerous sites forums all people want is a refresh that's reasonably affordable. Thats America though. Im not saying Nissan look at the forums but it might not happen if theres isnt enough demand or enthusiasm for it. Then again its not up to just the consumer.

If it were a currency ious would be fine. Go check it out.
