Prototype lapping the ring

I can't tell if the body has aggressive fenders because from the 3/4 angle the car looks flat. The profile is sexier in the video but I need to see the other details that can't be seen before I fully judge the styling. But I find the styling ok as of now except for the round areas of the headlight/taillights.

I like how it was following around a Supra.

Above video at :23 sounds like stock silenced turbo and moves like a small turbo car would. I here the same whine on a stock Genesis coupe. Tune out the voice, tires and exhaust sound.


Also in this other video go to 1:12 and pause it http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hQmUK...embedded#at=95

I see some type of intercooler in the grill, not a shadow of the plate like someone said before, it has silver end tanks. A radiator normally fills the whole opening in a front fascia and that is a small opening in the bumper, so that has to be a very small radiator.:iono:

I see what you're talking about, but I'm not sure if that was the whole radiator or not. Radiators don't have to cover the whole grille, but if that's what we saw, than this one is exceptionally small.

Gunma. Toyota don't have the manufacturing capacity and Subaru has excess. It's a chunk of the reason why Toyota became the biggest single share holder in Fuji Heavy.

It's been already mentioned that Subaru engines whine like that. I didn't hear a turbo, do you have a comparison from the Gen coupe?

Hmm... did I see HID projectors?

How can you tell an HID projector from a halogen projector? Especially during the day when it's off?

Personally I'd love to have HIDs. Scratch that. It's a requirement for me.
