Lol, everyone on Supraforum is in love with this concept.

I guess to each his own...

I mean, my first reaction was excitement but after watching it drive around in a few videos, it definitely looks too strange. It's fine if it ends up looking somewhat like this but again, I say let the wind tunnel and performance aspects tune the basic shape, and then make cosmetic tweaks from there.

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.

Toyota could also turbo the 3.5 V6 2GR-FSE and or drop in the new 5.0 V8 from the RC-F.

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.

Don't make my mod work harder than as is lol ;)

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?

When I first saw it it just screams supra can't wait and hope it becomes a real model soon

Love that side profile and the tail!

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