and Subaru cant make a good looking car if their life depended on it. maybe thats why Toyota did the styling.

Toyota has made tons of great sports cars and they still do. maybe you need to pull your head out of your ass and stop being ignorant.

Believe me Akio will never make even other development team to involve in the development of the LFA-II other than those was in LFA-I

And we all see that the LFA-II engine, chassis, mechanics are all done and will be tested on the LFA code X

BMW never did a super or hyper car, and Toyota already satisfied with the previous generation and now they are higher the par more as the LFA was named the most perfect car been made by human by one of the most anti Lexus guys. Aka " Jeremy Clarkson"

Toyota always know that if they make a successful formula they never change it

As development had already started started for LFA II, I doubt BMW will join. And Toyota can build its own I6 based on its new Turbo I4. Toyota can make better engines than BMW, maybe BMW is better at diesel. Again, other than cost savings on platform and mass CF, BMW has nothing to bring to Toyota. BMW never really built any sportscars, except maybe the Z4 M Coupé, but it was not successful. Same for 8 Series or Z8. BMW can only build sporty cars, whereas Toyota can even build supercars, and LFA II is likely to be a hypercar, it will murder Porsche 918 Spyder on the N-Ring.

At least it comes with centre armrests...

But it does look absolutely stunning.
Like a GTR - if the GTR wasn't ugly.

Also - what are those 3 indicator lights at the top of the steering wheel?

Love that side profile and the tail!

Hope if they build it that they don't wimp out on the production version.

Toyota Reveals FT-1 Concept Hints at Supra Successor

"Toyota stunned the audience at the American International Auto Show today, revealing the FT-1 concept to a cheering crowd. FT, Japanese for Future-Toyota, with the "1" designating "ultimate" was designed by Calty Design Research studio, and is seen as the ultimate expression of Toyota’s past exterior coupe designs, like the Supra and MR2. It also pays tribute to interior design of the classic 2000GT and should also maintain the family relationship with the Lexus RC F."
